staceface 0 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 On Saturday i put the mechanically standard VR on the Rolling Road and the results were in fact quite suprising...Due to age and mileage etc i would have been more than happy with 160+ and although there are always variables, and RR cant be 100% accurate... but according to ther results my little beast has 181 bhp. So i was pretty chuffed to say the least :-dAny one else had some really good or bad results from an RR? Link to post Share on other sites

staceface 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well the height wont make any difference, but the rest should. Im no mechanic sadly, so i need to think hard about the things i wanna do and in what order. I'm looking into getting a consolidation loan so i might just buy more stuff before i get it. haha.

jesterwalker69 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I got 206bhp on the rollers at Dyno Demon when the club had a RR day there - that was when she was standard! To say i was chuffed would be an understatement! Link to post Share on other sites
staceface 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Wow thats insane! It seems you just pee-d quite considerably on my fire! I posted this up on another forum and some guy quickly told me that i shouldnt be so impressed due to whether the RR had been calliberted often and recently and all weather conditions etc.When i questioned matey at the RR about air density etc he just said that the fan and RR should compensate for all of those things. I know there are always variables but I'm sticking with my story of 181 Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Lol sorry.Yer the good thing with being at an open day is that you can pretty much work out if the RR is set up right judging by everyone elses results. Due to the fact most were between 170 and 190 i'd say their rollers were calibrated and set up pretty spot on.181 is still a decent output though Link to post Share on other sites
staceface 0 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well a couple of the guys had the same results as last time and one of them had dropped since last time, but thats because his fuel was running rich, so i would say it was pretty spot on too. Link to post Share on other sites

staceface 0 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Wow that is poor! Glad you got your dollar back. I'm thinking 'portable' ones would be a lot less reliable. Anything can go wrong in transport. Link to post Share on other sites
