Dyno and Weigh day (Power/Weight ratio comp)

Thanks for putting up the figures James. Good to see where I sit in the rankings.

Kickin5K: Thanks man. It's a fun little engine, and a good car if you ignore the fact that it's FWD. I just have to fix the riching out in the mid range, exhaust rattle, and smoke problems (Sorry to those who got a lung full while watching my car run!).

That's a good point actually. It was pretty cramped up the front there.

Dammit, i should check the vic section more often! Definitely would've been down for this. Looks like a well run event James. Congrats!

do my eyes decieve me or does an ma61 weigh in at over 1400kg????

if so i better get on the weight reduction!! especially with my giant brakes et al

I'm as shocked as you are Ryley, yeah 1400odd for an MA61!! Doesn't make my JZA80 look so bad in retrospect

**inertia** · 30-10-2008, 03:23 PM

^ Do you still have access to those scales?

I'd like to know how heft my cars are. I think the AE92 is 1180

**ViPeR_NiPPleX** · 30-10-2008, 03:33 PM

My dad owns the scales, so yeah we can weigh your car at a later date. Need to give my old man some dosh though

**RyleyMA61** · 31-10-2008, 01:47 AM

Hmmm... by my calculations from what my cars have done on dynos in the past i would have come 6th and 16th with the Cressida and mini. I will fit a boost controller to the Cressida and turn up next time to try for an award.
