@ Jussa:
I suggest you add the list to your first post and keep it updated there as well.

I see you have revised your thread title to show the date but I'd revise your text in your first post as well. Then folks can instantly see what's on offer  :happy2:

Thanks Robin, all done now  :happy2:

....One reason is that there is already a well attended rolling-road day only a couple of weeks later (down the road at JKM). Folks don't need or want to get their cars dyno'd quite so frequently. It also costs another ~£35 a session, wherever held. Another reason is possibly lack of faith in a host who is not already well established as reliable for VAG cars with DSG. All those reasons are certainly why I am not attending - Sorry but I'm just being honest with you.

Robin, point taken.  But without giving another host a chance we don't know how well they'll do, as well as them being a lot closer to some people to travel to for future RR days.
I've been assured that they are very experienced with all types of semi-auto setups, s-tronic and DSG included.  We need to respect the fact that a lot of the high performance Jap cars came out with this setup long before VAG did.   :drinking:

I suspect the reason for this is that Justin has an S3 and JKM don't/won't cater for Haldex cars.

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,43802.msg519688.html#msg519688


....Yes I think you are probably right. I stand to be corrected but I think that JKM don't run Haldex cars on their dyno because they don't believe the results with a 'pulled' Haldex would be meaningful. Is Eurospec's Dyno-Dynamics actually a 4WD rolling road like Ray West's is?



Just for future info, I ran an S3 recently in FWD with the fuse pulled and in 4wd with traction control both on and off. There was a peak difference of 3.4bhp between the 3 different methods and the dyno graphs were virtually identical.

That doesn't surprise me.  Not sure why JKM don't offer that option??  Either way Eurospec is closer for me anyway!!  :happy2:
