Bobcat,

I can see the photos and I have read your posts. Please can you confirm which dyno SW Auto's has, so that I can answer Pyaap's question !

Regards,
Hamish.

the analogue guages allowed us to just drive the cars in and run them, this meant we were able to do a large amount of cars in a short space of time and give as many people as possible the experience of having their cars dynoed.

but as i have said, we will be doing a full computeried dyno day later this year which will be the full works with colour printouts and various sensor plots. and instead of the guages there will be a 36" tft for the people out side and the 20" tft you saw in the preview pics for the dyno operator.

Also not a direct hit at anybody or name calling or anything but it seems that most people that have replied to this thread seem very biased towards SW Auto`s.I find this very disturbing as there a numerous tuning companies out there trying to make a living.tbh i have 2 RR stations about 30 mins drive from me but i would not go to 1 then to the other and try and compare if they were using different machines as this would be stupid.I thought that everybody was allowed equal oppertunities in life?????.Never mind

pyaap asked the question.

however i fail to see the difficulty in you stating whether the one in the photos is the same as the one you had, when nat has allready stated this to be true.

ren was allready booked to go to the powerstation rr, however also came to the dyno day as it was FREE to any volvo from anywhere.

however im glad ren did go to powerstation as it has proved the sw dyno to be accurate.

Granted it was FREE but i sat and worked out the costs for me and it worked out roughly around £275 for one day,does not quiet make it economical for me really now does it.Its fine if you are within a 30 mile radius of the area.
