Dyno facilities - Circuit Motors, Castle Combe. Recommended?

[MJJ_ZX6RR]

I have an M30'd auto cabrio, and I think it is distinctly lacking in top end power. I'd like to get it on a dyno to see what it is doing through the rev range, torque and air/fuel.

I've never had a car on a dyno (plenty of bikes though), so I am a little wary of the experience, particularly as the car is an auto.

I am very close to Castle Combe, so I am thinking about using Circuit Motors. Anyone used them, and would recommend them to a nervous car-dyno virgin?

Paul from circuit motor's is a member of the zone aka Shepsevo and based on his rep from mapping s14's I sure you will be fine

Highly recommended. He ran a group dyno one saturday morning. Great bloke.

He is a user on this forum. Handle is shepsevo3.

Yes Paul is a legend, you will only recieve the best service from him. Polite, knowledgable, enthusiastic and very good with e30s.

This is said without bias, seeing as I have my own rolling road to promote here in Salisbury!

Can you force it to hold 3rd or 4th gear? They are a bastard for kicking down!

Thanks everyone, great to hear good recommendations.

Just called them, and Paul is enjoying a holiday until mid next week, so shall call again and get it booked in.

@Jon_BMW, I believe I can force it to stick in 3rd as it has a winter mode on the box. Certainly won't go lower than third, but may change into top at the redline - never tried to be honest.

Martin, Paul is definately the man in our neck of the woods. I've had several of my cars on his dyno and have nothing but praise for him

You have a rolling road?? We're doing the annual Easter trip to Wiltshire again this Friday... keep a nice hire car ready just in case!!

[Jon_Bmw]

I wish I had my OWN rolling road, but alas it is my companies'. It is my job to get lots of people on it though!

Tommo, once a scumbag, always a scumbag. Miles, I have a supercharged viper available or a gt40 with no seats, but you wont get the dog in the back???
