to save hassle ill just duplicate the post i put in the AMD rr Thread :)

Had a great time yesterday... AMD as always are great hosts.

i had a mixed set of results, i waited until the end to run again as on the first two runs it span up on the rollers. on the third and forth runs the graphs look very good (no spin as it had some extra weight, thx Darren :)) but the figures were miles out. my car definately has more 290lbft... on closer inspection it looks like forth gear was selected on the computer and it was run in fifth. i think James MGF was before mine so its an easy mistake to make.

graphs below

1st and 2nd runs

3rd and 4th (notice 4th gear)

im assuming theres no way of calculating it now?

I've rarely seen a 6sp run in 5th at any of the venues we've been to. The important thing is that full load is being put on the engine (which will happen in 4th). :)
AmD from being there too often tend to either run in 4th or 5th as they are closest to 1:1 so I been told. Its a bug in the software that shows it one gear higher than it should. Shaun who was doing the runs is very honest bloke when I dont think he would have try to fiddle the figures and even he was stumped when the graph wasnt showing all the rpms.

Darren was sitting in my car and said it was at 150mph, it must have been 5th.

What brakes did you go for Aaron?

Hows the BT set up feeling?
Have you done any 1/4 mile days with it on yet?

they were rears so nothing special mate

i bought a MK1 Caddy that im playing with and its so slow (i like it like that) so driving the Leon is incredible. it feels stronger than ever it really is awesome now. i missed a run what ya brung recently, im hoping to make the next one or do some at Inters, if i dont take the Caddy.

His car is savage :)
