My mate Clive (the chap who is Custom Solutions, the stainless steel chap I mention on here) has just run his manta V8 up on the rollers for the first time!!!!

Here's the vid, made pretty good power for a diy modded 3.5, first v8 he's done!!

don't worry, the smoke is the heatshield wrap on the exhaust not heatshielding very well!!!! (more combusting than shielding!!! )

Manta V8 rolling road!

It was a totally different car!

The second car was a nissan 200sx and was something like 275.9

Almost a carbon copy of my cars !

200SX (S13) 279bhp
GT (V6) - 202bhp

I miss my old Nissan sometimes

Who was holding the camera? Either they must have been on the lash the night before or they have Parkinsons...

I was surprised at how slowly the rollers spun up, most of the rolling roads I have been do the rollers spin up much more quickly than that. Is it a brake dyno rather than inertia?

that depends on the accel rate dialled in on modern rollers
