Scirocco List Dyno Day in
Buffalo, NY!
10/21/2000
A bunch of us decided to put our money where our
mouths were. We went to P&J Speed Shop in North
Tonawanda, NY for a day of fun, tuning, listening to our
cars go flat-out to redline, fun, food, cruising, tech
procedures, repairs, fun (did I mention fun?), euchre, adult
beverages,and fun.
Daun Yeagley, his sister Meredith, & Ben Harder
cruised in from Ohio, Jason Arms and his sister Sara picked
up Josh Able on their way from Vermont/Albany, NY, Dave
Horwood represented the Toronto crew, Brett VanSprewenburg
organized, and Jim Jarrett played host and innkeeper.
Since we had several
people back out, Jim J. was convinced to a) bring
his Passat GLX wagon and b) go first. You drive on,
then they raise your car up , you pull on to the
rollers. Fun!

The sound a VR6 makes in
4th gear at 120mph at the rev limiter......it's
SWEEEEET!
134.6hp at the
wheels.

|
This is the readout of
the dyno; I'm not sure how well it
shows.
|
|
Second run on the Passat.
I THOUGHT I drove this pretty hard, but the guys at
P&J said I needed to get it out & open it
up now and then.
143.9hp at the
wheels!

Next up, Jim J.'s 16v
Rabbit Convertible. If you saw / rode in it at/to
Waterfest, you remember it wasn't quite running
right.
Now it is.

go!
Best run: 113.8 at the
wheels.

Josh Able dusts off his
Seidl kit. That's 4 more hp!
|
|
That's me in the corner
videotaping. I will try to get some mov's on
line.

Brett plays with a fuel
enrichment device. Something wasn't right because
it didn't make much of a difference; we think a
resistor had gone bad.

Ben Harder gets ready to
run

Another view of Ben's
car

Unfortunately, Ben's O2
sensor wasn't working, so he couldn't do much
tuning.

|
Ben's best run:
117hp
