WCS... depending on how fast you can do these compression tests you'll be smashed before you know it with the "free" beer.

I recommend that in order to expedite the process. Those waiting in line should already start taking their front left wheel off and just standby... since mars is first. Sheshould arrive 20 min in advance and start removing wheel. And let engine cool down too.

We are going in order of sign up right wcs?

Yup,

Don't want the engines too cool ... they should still be warm

I would say go on a first come first serve basis, we can't wait on ppl who show up late, then wait for them to take off there wheel and then let the car cool down. I think also recommend for ppl who are interested in doing the test to show up much earlier to prep the car for the test. If people are coming late it will cut into the cruise time. My 2 cents.

This is awesome
LoL
I'm just at the London airport now so I'm going to be afk for awhile.

The longest part about doing a compression test is getting the car the jacks and removing the wheel.
Of course the plugs can be a bitch sometimes.

I will bring extra jack stands.
We get done what we get done

For people that are doing the compression test on that day, please have with you a copy of this to refer to.

The acceptable range of compression @ 250 RPM as follows:

KPA:
830 standard
680 minimum
150 diff / chamber
100 diff / rotors

Kg F / cm^2:
8.5 standard
6.9 minimum
1.5 diff / chamber
1 diff / rotors

PSI:
120 standard
98.6 minimum
21.8 diff / chamber
14.5 diff / rotors

Remember values need to be normalized for 250 rpm.

Thanks Footman.
I'm totally off from work this work so I was going to spend sometime making up and printing some forms for people with this data.

Looking forward to the meet! Should be a blast

I'm also thinking of bringing some stuff down that I wanna get rid of ...

The thought occurred to me that we could also do an exchange meet or a RX8 parts garage sale!
