30th June - Canberra Dyno Day

[fuzion]

original thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3205335&page=1

A good majority of Sydney people are heading down to Canberra for this! Some the night before and a lot on the day itself.



June 30, we are looking to hold a Dyno Day at Autotech Services in Fyshwick. Peter at Autotech has been helping run these days for quite sometime and with great success.

Lo and behold, Pete is the GIAC dealer in Canberra. Lucas will be coming up to speed things up and do some speed flashing

BBQ will be provided. Drinks as well, but we'll need a hand running this, so volunteers are welcome

Post up if you're interested. We're looking at around $40-$50 a car. That includes run with wideband AFR reading and other things that each person can discuss with Peter.

[fuzion]

so you, me.. powerofcosmic and tiny so far.. LOL

[DubSteve]

Is that all? There must be more anyone else?

[gpk_gti]

you know floody,,,this isnt just my opinion,but many here.the majority of members ,dont like to feel pressured into doing things.so ,the harder you push,the less people will come.also,with the recent events ,the chip battle--its left a nasty taste in many peoples mouths.nobody wants to be a guinea pig,or to be involved in comparisons.alot of members do their own dynos,without the hassle or stress.make it so,there is not these constrictions,and people will come.continue like this and nobody will come.
everyone knows ,im not that interested in dynos or drags,organise a track day,and ill be there rain,hail or shine!
I dont want to start a arguement over this,its nothing personal.
im busy that weekend,so have a good time guys.

well to be honest ive noticed a few times cruises have been organised on tex with certain members that are members here as well ,and there has been no mention of it here.its funny how our organised events get spammed there but non of their events get posted up here.

A big bunch of people here (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showthread.php?p=45025#post45025) complained cause we didn't invite VWW peeps to our events, and now we do and know one turns up. All I'm saying is we are doing as you asked, so I would have thought you guys would have started coming otherwise what was the point of the complaint? I understand people have other things on for weekends, so what's to say none of you would have been able to make it to the events that we previously didn't post.

I've made a 2-3 great friends from this site and a whole bunch from Vortex. Lets leave it at that, come, don't come. It doesn't really have anything to do with if you like drags or dyno's or not, it's about participating in the community. Turn up, say hi, have a laugh, enjoy some dubs and meet some new people. Know one is forcing people to compete in these events.

[BL33SU]

we do turn up, but cant make every1 of them..

[DubSteve]

I make it to the drags but I couldn't drag due to other things, I just sat there watched, taped and talked to a few people. On this cruise no one has to dyno there car.

You can just go down for the drive thats what I am doing. Its good to have a drive, and in a way its a way to bridge some divisions between the two forums.

[Mrs_Bugracer]

Meh who cares if no one comes. The important people will be there..;)

[Golf Loon]

Give up Perry, they obviously don't like any event not organised by themselves :rolleyes:

Organize good events and we`ll come to em.

I personally cant think of many things more boring than standing round in a dirty workshop winking on about whos chip is better.

I`d rather go for a drive and a chat with some interesting people.

Two cruises within a month of each other, exactly what you ask for. So which is it, do you want a cruise or as long as it's no more then XXXkm? We actually were at the pub in berry for bout 2 hours chatting and waiting for food.

This forum craps on about the VW community yet don't seem to want to participate in it unless it's an event organised by this forum. Pierre and Steve, I'm serious, why bother. They ask to be included and told about events, and then whinge that the events aren't good enough.

[fuzion]

Why do you come onto this forum FLOODY? Its not like you contribute anything. You seem to be here to cause division and trouble.

We are happy to come to a cruise, but Canberra is a bit far for those of us with kids. Thats 5 hours driving. With petrol the way it is, thats a bit of money too.

If you want to INVITE people here to one of your events, feel free to do so. BUT its only an invite, we are under no obligation to go. Thats all we do on Vortex, we say www.watercooled (http://www.watercooled) are going for a cruise, come if you like. Thats it.

I have to disagree..

we arent going there to compare chips, just going for a gtg/bbq/cruise and throw the cars on the dyno for the sake of it realistically. i know what mine pulls but doesnt hurt to what car you have from mk1 golf to a audi s4 to throw it on and see where your at! no body really cares in the end, people who have done big mods KNOW their power and KNOW they are quicker then others and still then love to see the older cars on the dynos too. come to a track day, wont come to the drags or the dyno where could find the demons which could slow you down or break you down on the track later on? .. odd!

petrol to canberra, you have to be kidding me dude.. its not that expensive and with over a month's notice im sure you can put together enough money to come as well.

you are right tho it is an invitation with no obligation to come what so ever, and they were other big cruises which have been organised (eg. the previous one through wisemans ferry, for those who did turn up know it was a fantastic bbq/drive)

the drive to canberra will be a nice easy going drive as well as a night out down there too probably the night before for who are there the previous day before the gtg.

its a useless arguement as theres both rights and wrongs from both sides here but floody has one point with invitation and no attendance.

but as i said and mentioned its no obligation but another good gtg that will be missed by some who cant make it!

[Golf Loon]

Canberra is probably an easy cruise in a fancy Mk4, but in a Mk1 its a diferent kettle of fish. How about you drive my car down and I`ll drive yours??

[fuzion]

to be honest i wouldnt mind drivin the mk1 at all! if i had the space id get one and drive that around too :P .. you drive my car? that'd be the day ;) lol.

but regarding driving that, wouldnt bother me dude! if you dont like how it drives, improve it or change cars! i love the oldskool cars lol

[Golf Loon]

Yeah I love the oldskool too mate, but its very noisy, uncomfortable and tiring to drive long distances on the highway. No power steer, no aircon.

You arrive at your destination worn and battered, rather than cossetted like in a Mk4. Thats why not many are daily drivers.

There is also the possibility of breaking an old componant, of which there are many and a tow home from Canberra does not appeal to me.

Add that to the fact that dyno figures wont reflect the way an early light car will compare to a heavier modern beasty, particularly driven through the twisty bits and I`m sure you can understand my reluctance to attempt an epic trek to the ACT.

I`d rather go on a cruise with less driving and more looking and chatting. It also takes up less time than a cruise to Canberra and I have the family to consider and weekends are precious.

Have fun and I`ll see you at the next cruise.

[Bug_racer]

I'll be there , bringing my two wives along for the ride .

Anyway Ive organised multiple drag days and dyno days AT MY OWN EXPENSE ! I beleive in participating and organising any events that promote the whole VW/Audi scene to everyone , cruises dont interest me , and BBQ's at the workshop are more common than all cruises and gtg's Aus wide . If you dont have a car ready for the drags / dyno days then you dont have to run them . I dont force anyone to run a car at the drags , I do encourage everyone and put everyones car ahead of mine in terms of preperation for the actual event .

[fuzion]

Well the invitation stands for all to come, if unavailable, cant afford too, too lazy, cant be assed, leg hurts, eye hurts, working, sleeping, busy or something rather unfortunately we'll miss out on seeing you!

I think a few BMW guys also coming along so should be a good day with hopefully a nice drive through the hills too and possible pre-night stayover for some who are able to!

So see you there to who will make it, and the rest another time!

[finemk1]

haha yeah ive purposly become best friend with a chriopractor because of my mk1, damn stupid back ,i feel ya loon.... ill come to this dyno day if my car is up and about, but ive been saying this for about 2 yrs now, hahahahahaha

[Golf Loon]

Just decluttered this thread guys. There has been a lot of aggro and bad feeling caused here.

Please keep posts in this section to the meet / cruise being discussed and avoid personal comments.

[rayray086]

I'll definitely try my best for this one! My exams will be done by then and I'd be itching to go out and drive and meet some Vortexers :) Will there be a cruise to Canberra for those in Sydney? Or is it a meet-there thing? Address to the location would be good too!

[DubSteve]

As far as I know there are some that are going the night before and some that are leaving the day of the dyno, not sure where they are meeting up may have pm Fuzion and ask.

[Golfer]

Pierre,

I have just been over the vortex thread for this dyno day...

Could you please specify whether there will be a spread of aftermarket chip manufacturers offering their products on site? They seem to be unsure of who will be there on Vortex...

And could you also post a proposed meet-up point and time for Sydney members, so they may plan in advance, instead of being told at the last minute.

Thankyou
John

[gpk_gti]

um,,thats for our members to decide,I just re-posted here.there was some bigger doozies on that thread,which I didnt think were appropriate for vww.

anyway,my personal opinion is that vortex is full of "jokes" like that....

hey john,

your best bet is to check the vwvortex thread to see where syd ppl are premeeting as ill be there night before with a few other people already. otherwise just meet there @ the day which a few people will be doing anyhow.

best i can do for now unfortunately. ps. tweed heads? i doubt ur coming lol

--

gpk, stop sooking.. oh .. JOKe .. :) lol

its organised by a canberra member who wanted a dyno day there as far as i was aware and to have a gtg with syd/canberra people together once again and was organised prior to the meet that just past too. as well as its in winter and nice and cold there. as mentioned bmws and other cars will be running as well its a combination of euro cars i think! nothing to do with chips on the day, if people wanna sook about it, so let them be. (whoever that is that will complain is what i mean)

[Golfer]

ps. tweed heads? i doubt ur coming lol


Just hoping to have the details clarified for our Sydney members...

[rayray086]

Add me too.

[Mrs_Bugracer]

Add Seb and I. It will be a stretch to afford the petrol, but im sure it will work out.;)

[DubSteve]

Its going to cost me a bit on petrol that day. I remember the last time I went to Canberra 2 tanks :(

[gpk_gti]

True. Lucky we can take the S3 down. Otherwise I would have had to whinge about driving down in the Seat.

[gpk_gti]

I didnt realise mrs bugracer that you were so funny!!:D

[vinderliker]

The Little Beastie will be there, with all of her 55kw at the fly wheel power. Better not put her on the Dyno she will blow it for sure. Stop being so prissy with your older cars, the Little Beastie has been to Dubbo and back faultlessly.

[DubSteve]

Can't wait to meet you Vinderliker, should be good :)

I was planning to leave with everyone else, I think Perry was telling me that that some were leaving early and some were leaving a bit later.

Going to be coming out Friday night for sure, but guarranteed that, no one is going to be able to drive to the Dyno lol everyone is going to be j: hehe!!!

Will probably venture to Sebs during the day on Friday.

[Timbo]

Julian...many thanks for your hard work in organising, to Paul the operator, and to Ian & co for the great BBQ effort. 8)

Now, the numbers :confused: (not that I'm complaining -- 135.4KwATW sounds great)...but then my Pog pulled 107KwATW with the 'stock' flash....which was pretty close to another stock Pog....so my first thought is that this dyno ran around 12-15% optimistic :???:

(...stands back and waits for flames... ) :rolleyes:

[rayray086]

Good stuff! Any pics?

[DubSteve]

Yeah great day thanks to you Canberra folk and Jules for the Dyno and BBQ was good.

Ian I'm not happy the snaggs were burnt lol.

I think there was about 20 cars that dyno'd today so it was good. Even dyno'd mine :) Even got a drive in the S3 HOLYS**T thats all I'm saying.

[fuzion]

[DubSteve]

When someone can organise one why not it would be awesome I would love to see what the vr could pull :)

There is one organised at Oran Park for Wednesday in a few weeks with another forum, but won't attend due to work :(

[static1800]

yeh whats the idea of wednesday track days :(

[vinderliker]

Thanks guys,
It was great to put a face to our ethereal communications.
Hmmmm Mrs Bug Racer, you were really worried I'd beat the pants of your S3:) lol heartedly. Just wait till the lotto win and I turn the Little Beastie into the SleepingGiant Beastie !!!!!!

Good to meet you James (Vinderliker loved the little beastie:))

Yep:)

[Bug_racer]

Good to meet up with some Canberra guys .
Result for the S3 , well , bit more than what I expected running pump gas , stock airbox and stock exhaust and only 20 psi boost . The wife takes the car to work on Monday so I guess you could say its in street mode .
Looking forward to seeing it dynoed with race exhaust and race fuel on 24psi boost :)

[BL33SU]

nice results.. looks like a good day too.

[DubSteve]

Truly was a great day, Seb I have video of the S3 got it sounds so good :)

Sound was almost as good as the vr6;)
