Did I win the wooden spoon award?
210bhp instead of 245bhp... groan
Rollers under-reading/heat soak/flat tyres/wrong gear/crappy optimax/handbrake on etc etc

Who got that?? Shane, don't feel too bad, you only got beat by a 2 door convertable Wish id brought the STi now
Nice to meet you all and apologies I couldn't get to chat to you all. Thanks also to the guys at WRC - this was a great day and really impressed with the setup - easy to get to, proper workshop, good rolling road, and nice bacon rolls Hopefully everyone had a good day. Looked like a few people were down on expected power, so imagine there will be a few posts in General technical
Not a sell job by any means, but the 360 plus bhp converson for the new STi looked pretty awesome, as was the 260 EVO one. Looks like the PPP's dont come in near the 305 quoted, so for their APS tweaked STi to come in at that figure is amzing. Plus warranty is given!
If someone wants to start a new thread with the pecking order and a few pics, that would be good.
Thanks again.

agree with pickle, a good day out. many thanks mark
would recommend the RR at WRC to anyone. lambda and boost monitored, a few runs to get a proper reading.
not just a slap it on, strap it down, run it up and f**k it off job.
not marks fault, but the day was slightly ruined by me blowing my engine on the way home!

Good to meet you mate and sorry to hear about your engine.... hope you manage to get it sorted without too much hassle.
Great day and WRC were excellent
300/300 for me - which I'm very happy with.
Cheers
Terry

I achieved lower than expected. My last dyno was 280 but I only managed 262.1 today - but still, very respectable for a near unmodded 9 year old girl
Busy saving for an apexi and remap now - this will serve as a benchmark
Fab day, lovely people - great food! But my only complaint was not winning a free cap like the better ones of you did

Agreed Karen, I would rather hear the truth than PE/Star bull****.
Excellent facillities and food.
What reg did you have P1Mark? I saw the P666 on the rollers and it seemed fine
Who scored less than me??? a Justy??
Cheers Mark, a good day out.

use to race bikes against my mate, and there is a bit of 'history' there.
we even managed to have hanbags at dawn moments at the end of races before now, and i suppose its just carried on into later years.
pair of pr*cks would be an apt description.

Shane it was 1 of your Dorset lot that robbed you of your spoon, Mark Finch with the blue UK 2000, he rocked the rollers with an almighty 193 bhp, know wonder why he couldn't keep up with me leaving the round abouts with 135 bhp less than me.
Great day and the guy's at WRC done a good job, only other place I had been as good was G force and that was when Chris ( dyno operator at WRC ) was running it.
I was 12 bhp down but 40 lbs/ft more than Power Engineering which I think is not too far off the correct figures for my Scooby. Another interseting thing is PE said my car was running dangerously lean and I should not be driving it, but they couldn't give me any actual figures I have done nothing to my car apart from clean it since PE and yesterday my print out clearly shows the lambda is on the rich side.
WRC is going to be the rolling road I use in future so that I can get consistent comparrisions between mods.
Can someone post the BHP and torque figures for Peter Stone, Duncan White and Steve Earl.
Yeaterday was the first time I have beaten Steve ( Fangoria ) at a rolling road day unfortunately he was in his wifes car

Saw it at another RR day couple of weeks back. At that one it only did 260bhp which he thought was a load of poo.
So not surprised that he got 355 on a proper set of rollers with peeps who understands subaru's (the other place didn't really)

I'm with Colin as far as future RR days go. What was also nice is that the owner had time to chat to everyone and the guy doing the RR had some hints and tips for me for the future - so it wasn't just a roll on roll off and fcukoff I felt looked after
