Gentoo, any chance you could expand on that for the benefit of the other PRM owners on the board - I know I'd be interested to hear a bit more about it, and I'm sure so would they. Would a fair summary be that the rolling road figures showed that the PRM was having an adverse effect on performance......?

In a word....no.

Especially as the car did not have a PRM installed at the time, it had a Mugen CAI. I am happy that the results are as I would have expected for the work I have done on the car.

Dyno plots are no use at all in giving one off readings, they are however useful at looking at changes over time.

I could run the car on two different dynos back to back and differ by + - 10 bhp(or more).

What I am doing is using the dyno to get some baseline readings. This allows me to make some decisions about where I want to spend money to improve the car.

I will write some notes up and post them for you, but these are only my opinions and I may be making mistakes, so input is welcomed.

Well... how was the meet? Sorry I couldn't make it. I had other plans made that were subject to cancelation, but in the end they went ahead. This is the perils of having a bird!

Sorry to go off topic guys... just a wee query about the keys for the S. Are you supposed to get two electronic transmitters for the doors? Or just one? I have two keys, but only one electronic fob. Any other car I've had I've had two?!

Jim

Meet was just me and Stuart - met at Carbeth, quick lunch and burn up to Aberfoyle, Dukes Pass, Callander, Stirling.

The Dukes Pass seemed a lot tighter than the last time (scotmeet) I was there - how we all passed that Peugeot on that one stretch I'll never know.

(Although I do have it on video )

Was the pug one of these daft souped-up things?

Talking of which, you should have seen the one parked outside my office today! Bright metallic/poncy pearly 106 in bubblegum PINK! It was like a 3-D copy of MAX Power.

I then saw someone coming out to it later on. Surely a girly's car I thought... (green L plates on it's pink bodykit).... nope... it was a bloke. Jeezus.

I'll chase St Andrews Honda up bout the fobs. Thanks for that Iain!
