im currently in poland on holiday and took my trusty FTO, as to be honest theres no way my zed would be up for it really, (not yet anyhow) Anyway, the following for sports nissans and mitsibushi is next to none here but for hondas, well i went to a meet the other day and 27 hondas turned up! (i went to poland with my brother in law who has a honda hence why i joined the meet with my fto too!) anyway, we all arranged to have a dyno day in the nearby city and when it came to doing my FTO the bugger told me he couldent do triptronics/autos?? is this the same for all dyno places or just this guy? ive never done a dyno before so im not that clued up on it,

 

The cost of the dyno run was ten pounds and it would cost ten pounds an hour to tune it a fiddle around for you to get best result. Sounds very cheap to me!

 

oh! and one more thing, i actually spotted a zed in the city of pila!! it was a standard burgandy 2+2 and seemed to be a turbod zed, its very rare that you see any sportyish cars let alone a zed!! for instance 1 guy had a prelude at the meet and 2 had del-sols, the rest were various sorts of civics and crx's, so even a prelude in poland is deemed as being "very rare".

 

 

 

anyway thanks for any comments or answers on my original question,

 

regards simon.

the cost of the dyno there is super cheap and to be honest simon ive never heard of a tiptronic being a problem on a dyno....ha. manual ftw

The problem is locking the gear - Tiptronic will automatically change up when you redline it, I thought autos were ok if you could lock it in gear though...?

i love my little tripytronic shed!! yeah it did seem really cheap? you need a morgage to buy a sports car though!! my mates prelude cost him 3 grand!! and its far from mint!!!

 

p.s. did you get my text???? u alrite for a visit and a cuppa whilst drooling over ur zed??!? lol

it changes gear on its own accord in drive, yes of course, but in the good ole tripy tronic mode i can drive all day on the limiter if i like, however if the car is in (for example) 4th gear and the revs go as low as 1200rpm it will autmatcally change to 3rd, but this is only to stop it stalling, i cant see it being a problem on the dyno though???
