Talking

Hi all,

I believe this is my first post(oops third post). I will be in the city that day, so I may stop by and check out some of the dynoing going on.

It's going to be a while. That's a 3000 mile round trip.

Just for fun maybe each person who is getting a dyno run can list their car model, year and mods. Then we can guess what the rwhp and rwtq will be on each car. It would be an interesting comparison on perceived gains versus actual. Obviously the most interesting comparison would be the "guestimate" from the actual owner to compare the "butt" dyno to an actual test.

Yes other cars are welcome to dyno, but we are trying to minimize non-Lexus vehicles if they are not participating in the dyno, because the parking space is already limited. Some meets we invite other car clubs, but at this point we will limit this activity to ClubLexus and IS300.net members.

The dyno availability may soon be full and we may have to limit the amount of entries. Currently, we will continue to accept entries, but we cannot guarantee everyone a spot who signs up after this post. I will be visiting the shop this weekend , to determine what our maximum count can be.



mrwireman - Stock or not, if it's a Lexus you're welcome !

John,
what am I gonna do with you?

We'll let me know when you will be back in town and we'll work on a mini-meet just for U.

I'm sure there are a lot of locals interested in seeing the "Official" JP car.

Sure, Supras are non-too distant cousins. Honestly tho I don't wanna promote inviting any other clubs or posting this thread on other sites. As an individual, you're welcome, but please don't advertise on other forums is all I ask.

If you wanna dyno the car let me know too.

Finally an LS430 representing! Even all stock, your car will probably be one of the nicest ones there...
