Guys, there was some interest in the other thread about a dyno day, since there hasn't been one in a while.

Due to the relatively small following here in SA for events, this would best be held in conjunction with another group, in order to get the numbers required to make it worthwhile for a workshop to hold such an event.

I believe in the past, there have been successful events held along with the LS1 guys, and given what I drive this seems a natural choice for me :D. Also, due to their higher average age than many other groups, they tend to "fit" better with the crew here.

I was thinking of a date some time in May, due to timing of other events, and nice cool weather being good for power numbers!

At this stage, the location is still up for discussion - I have one in mind, but I would have to make some enquiries as to whether they would even be interested in a dyno day, as they are really a private workshop.

So, taking suggestions on:

Workshop: (preferences?)

Date: (when in May would be the best, probably NOT long weekend)

Group: (are you cool with LS1 guys?)

Style: Dyno day only, Dyno and BBQ, Dyno and cruise etc.

Also, would be good to know if you were interested even if you don't have any suggestions to offer.

If I get this off the ground, and everyone is cool with the pairing with LS1, I will post a thread there also, and try to get one or two "exhibition" cars organised.

Look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

Yeah I'm interested, May is fine and a small BBQ on side would be good, and I have no problems sharing the rollers with LS1's (esp. if they're turbo charged! :cheers: ).

Obviously need firmer details before i could commit 100% but at this point count me in.

A turbo LS1 is one of the cars I would be hoping to organise, but that would of course depend on the owners availability on the day we choose.

Long weekend is the 14th, 15th, 16th (drags on the 14th)

Also, drags on Sunday the 1st.

So at this stage, thinking of either the 7th, but preferably the 21st or 28th of May.

Time of day would really be up to the workshop.

  • 2 weeks later...

If I'm free I'll be there. I might just come along for a look though... I'll decided closer to the date.

Workshop: Willall

Date: 7-8, 21-22, or 28-29 are my prefered May weekends (

Group: The LS1 guys are fine with me :cheers:

Style: Dyno day and BBQ

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
