UPDATE (9-Feb): I was just speaking to Steve from MR2 Only magazine and he is loking to have the Dyno Day in one of the upcoming issues. So, get your cars all shined up and your hair brushed !! I've seen quite a few people have a good inerest in car photography - so, Steve will be looking for some good pics on the day. Also, if anyone fances themselves to write the article to go along wth it, let me know (Obviousy Steve, the editor will review etc )

Okay, we're going to have a Dyno Day on the first weekend in April, at TDP.

Don't think of a dyno day as only for those with huge hp - aside from a great day out and having hp figures to talk about in the pub , a dyno run can be a very good engine health check.

Date for the Dyno Day is Saturday, 3rd April (UPDATE : Confirmed with TDP).

Anyway, for those who have not been there, they have a Dynapack setup.

Interesting link on Dynapack dynamometers

If we can get 10, we get it for only 40 euros per head. If we pay 45 euros, we can get a few prizes. Not all prizes for big power - have something for maybe show 'n shine, best NA etc. And have a BBQ etc going on during the day.

My car should be up and running for this.

Ho Ho Ho,

hope there's some good prizes going

we'll see mite have car ready and see if a re-map is possible before and after. just all about funds and some one to drive it down . i've already dynoed mine.

Not putting name up cos will be a push to get it up

Okay, date and time confirmed with TDP.

Sat 3rd April and 9.30am start. So, cars need to be there by 9.15am.

We are going to have to take deposits on this because I am going to have to pay TDP a deposit.

Deposits will, of course, be refunded if TDP have to cancel the day for whatever reason.

At the moment, we're at 50 euros per car - lets try get the 10 cars and bring it down to 40 euros per head.

Is everyone okay with the extra fiver for prizes/food ? So, if we get the 10 cars, we pay 45 euros.

Either way, we'll need to put a 20 euro deposit down.

The max they can take on the day is 15 2WD cars. If we are having problems making the 10 cars, I think we should open it up to other cars, in the following order :

1) 2WD Celicas
2) Other 2WD Toyotas
3) 2WD other makes

Well thats an early start from Cavan then.
How long will the day last?

I'd estimate about 20 mins per car and with 10 cars, it'd bring us up to about 1pm or so.

ygpm

hmm, that might be a touch early for people not coming from Dublin and make it hard to get numbers. Were they flexible on the timing at all?

I think we should be okay. Most so far are from in and around Dublin, so we can pencil them in first. I don't want to have a free for all, as regards to when people arrive down So, start time is 9.15 - and if there are a few others from further afield, I'll check with them via pm to arrange times.

When do you want the money Rob?

Its pratically all motorway all the way down

Link to map

Have updated first post with info on the Dyno Day appearing in MR2 Only magazine

nice!ive a lot of work ta do ta get my car decent for this tho.i must go now and start another few bits for sale thread

Wow, thats excellent, I understand that people a bit further away may arrive a bit later than 9:15 but it would be great to head down in convoy and get some decent photo's, perfect opportunities for photo's would be taking a few from one of the bridges on the m50 as were all heading under passing through them etc and some great scenery passing through glen of the downs etc

Well done spidey even if we're not all going down at the same time, i'm sure at some stage all the cars will be there together, we could line them up in front of tdp for pictures, should look pretty good. If everyone can stay til the end then we could do dshamrock's ideas on the way home. A load of mr2s across 4 lanes on the m50 would look brilliant!

Just to note, it's also ok to come along (in an MR2) if you're not dynoing.
