Having spoken to AMD today, they would rather run the car 2wd as the dyno will work better, 4wd in the R8 makes the graph jump all over the place apparantly. Im happy as it does prevent the diff oil overheating on more than a run or two so better safe than sorry.

The guys said they'd get on it 1st thing as have to get it up in the air and disconnect the prop, then whe ready, will slot it in amongst the B7's!

So, looks lke I won't be 1st but still need an early run as need to get back for the afternoon in Brighton.

Looking forward to hearing it all tomorrow!

Hi Dave
Thanks for sorting this buddy. Appreciate you calling AmD. Yeah we can slot you in between the AM RS4s on the list and maybe during the 2nd hour so around 10-10.30 :beerchug:

Same here, should be fine to just slot it in when AMD have got it ready for a run. Can't wait to hear it!

Mines in a right state Jase - so yo u aint alone - what really pissed me off today is that I had the car in for fresh fluids and the garage fcuked up and didn't get the filter in time - still running oil post SPA and she deserves some fresh stuff before tomorrow .....

God damn rain...been fighting with it all morning.

At least the sun is briefly shining now, so a bite to eat and then off out to see what bits I've missed :roll:
