How do dynos/RRs measure torque?
Really? Interesting, so is the RWBHP still an estimate then?

How do dynos/RRs measure torque?
We all like to quote BHP, flywheel and at the wheels/hubs right... Well does torque have a concept of flywheel/wheels? Itsa just you only ever hear one figure quoted. Cheers Pete

Help! - Water leak
It does sound like the lower rad pipe - you should be able to reach the jubilee clip from underneath, unless it has swiveled round the wrong way as usual with these cars :rolleyes: Or is you undertray just in the way? I replaced the radiator on mine in about 2 hours one evening, its pretty simple. Just need to remove the fan shround, fan ( not vital but makes it easier), top and bottom rad hoses and a few 10mm bolts here and there. You'll be able to reach the lower rad pipe from above with the fan and shroud out. It might just be the jubilee needs tightening, hope so Pete

Welcome Zhound
My quickest time is 13.4s@107mph but I didnt get split times, this was on a grippy aircraft runway with no weight saving Next quickest is at "mirror finish" Santa Pod 13.517s@106.23, with a 60ft time of 2.30s. If I really nail it off the line the wheels will spin so I guess slicks would help loads. Its an auto, running 12.5psi

Yep you're right there, 4-5 weeks they say. People say I'm lucky to get 2 weeks paid paternity leave, so thats 2-3 weeks where she is at home recovering and I cant be at home to look after her :( Hope I've got understanding relatives around. I would start the leave after she comes out of hospital but we discovered ANOTHER leak in the kitchen over the w/e so I'll spend those days fitting new flooring and sorting it out. Thats the third we've had, each of which has ruined the kitchen floor and units, and hall floor - tip - DON'T buy a new house! Our insurance dealt with the 1st, Anglian Water with the 2nd, and this time there isnt time to sort it through insurance before the new arrival so I'll do it myself. It took 5-6 months to get the kitchen sorted the last 2 times and I'm not going throught that again :mad: Great timing eh :rolleyes:- Baby Shrimp next week
Yeah they've told Mrs Shrimp that, I guess it must be pretty upsetting for the mother not to hold the baby :( Thanks for the GL wishes, I'll pass them on :) even to the cat :D- Grounding Kit Pics
Nice one Bob :cool: More bling hehe! Have you driven the car much since fitting? - Most common faults
