*****RX Club of Ontario Dyno Day/Meet*****

This is it! The new RX Club of Ontario’s first event!

We will be hosting a Dyno Day/Meet at Autobahn on Sunday, June 12, 2005, from 10am to 6pm.
This is not a tuning event, and there will be no wideband usage as it will slow things down too much. This is just for horsepower and torque printouts.

$40 buys each person 2 pulls. It is expected to go in 20 minute intervals - 20 minutes per person, 3 cars per hour. People can pick their spot (timewise) when they pay. This is a significantly reduced rate, as dyno use can normally run upwards of $100/hour. If you’ve always wondered what kind of power your car is putting down, now is your chance to find out without having to drain your wallet.

This is not a normal business day for the shop; Autobahn is opening just for us, which means we won't be competing with the general public to use the dyno.

To confirm a spot you can either PayPal Lawyer’s Spirit $41 ($1 to cover the PayPal charge) or pay him $40 in person (which can be arranged via Private Message on this forum.) You must include car type, first 3 characters of your license plate and your time preference. You will receive a confirmation PM.

This is first come, first serve. We will maintain a list of available slots in this thread. Autobahn has promised to service 24 cars and all others will be on a time permitting basis.

Spectators are welcome. This is not just a dyno meet, but also a chance to get together.


WHEN: Sunday, June 12th 10:00am – 6:00pm

WHERE: Autobahn Speed Tuning
181 Woodstream Blvd., Unit 4
Woodbridge, ON., L4L 8G9

DIRECTIONS: Major intersection in Hwy 7/Martingrove Rd.
Go to www.autobahnspeedtuning.ca for directions to the shop



HOW MUCH: $40 for two dyno pulls, first-come, first-serve

PayPal $41 -> charngill@osgoode.yorku.ca

Or send a Private Message to Lawyer’s Spirit to arrange payment drop off $40 cash

Well it is a great chance to get a baseline reading at a super rate so you can really gauge any modifications you perform in the future. Also it would be really interesting to see what kind of variations there are between stock 8s. But your welcome to hangout if that is what you prefer.

I don't know if I can make it, I know I'll be at a friend's bachelor's party the night before and if I remember correctly the wedding it on dyno day. Let you know when I confirm everything when I get home tonight.

Yeah I know...I could be off about that. Too many weddings this year, so my calendar is all out of whack. I didn't even mention the two weddings on the same day...has everybody forsaken the Vegas wedding? :p

It's actually not that accurate to do a baseline run ..and use that as a base compared to mods in the future..... taking into account weather and things of that sort will throw all your future numbers out the door in most cases.

Nonetheless, should be alot of fun especially from thsoe guys who haven't seen dyno pulls before. Considering most of the 8's are stock, I wouldn't mind seeing the difference between stock RX8's.

I'll try to swing on by.............

If Hellas is going, I'll try to make it. Not sure if I'll do any dyno runs though. We'll see.

Make sure you guys arrive early and allow adequate time for your cars to fully cool before the run

Amur, how dare you take my 10:00am spot :p .

Actually, the party I thought I had on that Sunday is actually on the Saturday so I'm open for the event now rather then just the morning.

Lawyer's Spirit - I'm on a business trip in Montreal at the moment, I'll get my payment to you when I return, i'll be in touch.


We need more RX-8's on the Dyno, it will be really interesting to see where everyone sits in regards to HP based on the variances I've read on these forums. I have seen reports of 175HP, 179HP, 186HP, 192HP and even as high as 207HP Stock at the wheels.

Remember, this is not just a Dyno day, this is a meet as well so if you're not going to Dyno come on out anyways for the get together and also to check out the RX-7's, there should be more than our first RX Club meet at D&B!!

C'Mon Mic, I want to see what that Automatic is pumpin' out !!

Nothin' but daisies and potpourri, from my experience behind its wheel.

The dyno proves zip. My son has a baseball tournament that weekend in Brampton so its tough to know when I can get a way for a bit. We'll see how it goes. If Neo goes on the dyno, then and only then will I go If there's an empty slot and I just so happen to be there at that time.

LS, get Neo to subscribe.

Helas, Scazmose re! I'll be watching you closely.

Is Hellbreed going to show up? I'd love to see his intake.
