Just rang AT Speed as recommended by Carmadbaker and booked the Zed in for a run tomorrow morning at 11am :)

I'm quite excited....the last time the car was on the rollers this happened

Now it was either a case of.....they hadn't sat the car on the rollers properly...or something to do with the passenger wheel sitting at \ that sort of angle...or a combination of both.

Well now the wheels are straight (always handy) and AT Speed is a 2 wheel roller it eliminates both of those problems....so we'll see. Be nice to get a figure of what my car is pulling as well :)

Did you get the engine tuned at the same time or was it just a rolling road day out to see what its pushing out?

I was waiting for the BANG, glad it went OK, I put my one on a RR the other day and its a relief when they switch it off and the runs over. With the derv you top out at about 5000 revs so you don't get up to those high pitch revs.:fun::fun::fun:

they should really stop it at 4500 as the max engine no load speed is technically 4200 on the L-series...

that said at 5000 rpm the dervs wail rather than scream :D
