I'd be a bit worried of the car jumping out and accelerating through the garage doors/wall.<br>

I definateley wouldn't fancy that <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . On the rollers I've been to they have a strap in each corner which is rawl bolted to the floor.

That would be great for mapping your own EFI system using a wideband Lambda sensor for tuning. <br>

I suppose the thing to do would be to drive it to a nice open space and put them on the rollers, but that somewhat defeats the main selling point. Would still work for you though Graeme.<br>
<br>
Would the fact that no real load is being put through the wheels/transmission affect the accuracy of the tune? I would imagine those rollers don't have very much resistance.<br>

£475 plus VAT <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I'm sure I could knock something up for a lot less than that. I can just imagine it...sat in the Sprint, 80, 90, 100 mph <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
They maybe ok if you've got something to plug a computer into but not a lot of good for a Dolly.<br>
<br>
Be perfect for Adam. No old ladies pulling out on him & no way would his Dolly come off the rollers at the speeds he reaches. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
