Does anyone have a relationship with a dyno company that I can contact?

If you want to have a discussion on this at any time mate just skype me a call. I have a particular opinion on this that you may want to consider before you spend your hard earned wedge...Sean knows what Im talking about here and Ive done my homework on this one...of course it depends on your expectations....

Steve Wong is probably an easier and faster alternative...
I have never skyped - just give me your number and the time difference and I'll call you.

Ok then how about Viber?

Try Bob Homewood at HiTek in Drury is you need a Hub Dyno (Dynapak 4000). Bob was one of the first in the world to use the dynopak and its a world class product made in godzone and exported to 30 countries. Hes done around 8 hrs dyno work on 993 (mine)...they are a rally prep and targa race car specialist family business been going 30 years and have their own machine shop...

If you dont want the hub dyno or Drury is too far then try Torque Performance in Avondale and talk to Dave. They have a propriety dyno and are good guys. They live program ecu for later model cars. Ive done around 6-8 hours with them too and Racing Ray did the 930 on LINK with them...

Mention me to either and they know me.

You've probably never called Vanuatu either. $$$ which is why Skype and Viber are good. I don't think any Porsche call to Macca is a two minute affair!

Star Wars was one movie and the second one took some time to come out. Thunderbirds, UFO, Space 1999, Joe 90 etc were weekly and stick in the mind more.

I have the grey hair to pull this one off

Cheers.
Shaun, I wouldn't mind joining you for that, but don't arrive back in to the country until the Saturday morning of the weekend before the event. Let me know if your timing moves out, eg. moves to Sunday morning.

Cool, we could get together for a reconnoiter and familiarisation run. Paul and I in my 987s. Does that Sunday before, 23rd Feb, suit you all?

Come on boys and girls, join us for the ecolight one day intro targa tour on March 2nd in the Pukekohe region.

http://targa.co.nz/ecolight-sprint-rally

$450 plus Gst
Driver and co driver need a m grade msnz licence, an easy multi-choice test.
Closed roads behind a fast lead car.
Closest you'll get to a real rally without doing the real thing
Designed to give you a taste/intro to the full multi day targa tours
For prestigio insurance requirements only you need telemetry. You can rent a track-it unit from TargaNZ for $100+Gst which covers that off.

It takes a while to get your head around using both sides of the road and doing 150-ish kph around a blind corner on a road you have never driven before - even through the road is closed - do you trust your instincts to go flat out when you have no idea what is around the corner....?? There are enough Targa wrecks in Steve's shed to show you what happens to Pcar owners when your ***** get to big...........

Driving the course in advance will give you a chance to find out what's around the blind corner........??

John - to give you an idea of Targa - the Ron convoy on the NITT was about 70% of the pace. At that speed you would we be at the back of the pack..........
