CWC's
8th rolling road day was a return to
JDM Dyno at Kirkbride Airfield near Carlisle. 8 cars ran in
total, with plenty of others turning up to see what was on the
rollers. As always there was a good mix of cars with both front
wheel drive and rear wheel drive runners.
Most people were
happy with their power runs and a few were pleasantly surprised.
A couple did go home wondering where some of their horses had wandered
off to, but as ever Jonathan at JDM provided a few pointers that
should help to tempt them back.
The power runs
shown below are flywheel horsepower, a 20% factor has been added
to the wheel horsepower figures measured by the dyno to
compensate for transmission losses. The actual transmission
losses will vary by a few percent from car to car, but given
that standard cars usually show standard power on the dyno, it's a pretty
good approximation.
