Just found out my cars putting out 137 bhp No wonder I keep posting these stories about beating super fast cars!

Just kidding, I went there to find out how much it'd cost me to go get my car dyno'd on its own... Considering the Corsasport RR day was going to cost £35 each and several people were having their cars tweaked and setup I thought hmm, just a power read out for myself shouldn't be too expensive!

£52!!!! they told me, bloody hell!

Hehe, spoke to Mr Power Engineering too - coz I started my sentance 'I was supposed to have come up with my corsa group on saturday but something happened that stopped us, I'm just here to find out how much it'd cost for me to have my own power read out.'

and before I even finished my sentance one of them said 'Your here to rearange a new date for the corsa rolling road day - go talk to (forgot the name) over there.

Went and spoke to the guy behind his desk but I think he might of thought I was fad or something coming to complain since he started explaining why it didn't happen and being quite defensive. I just said 'ok fair play' - when can I come in with my own car. Looked at him looking through his book it was jam packed full of dates! I thought they might of been able to get me in today hehe - no chance

Anyway, looking at the price of going solo I think I'll just wait for the next CS RR day. - probably have exhaust sorted by then.

Outside there were a load of Evo's, a few Ford Escort Rs's and a couple of Mr2's...

all seems expensive for a dyno run... I could understand tweaking and stuff costing but just get a power readout ... hmm.

That is multiple runs etc and Power Engineering are very good at what they do...

Nice to see they were a little apologetic...
