The one with the APD opening

APD or Automovite Performance Development had a little opening last Sunday, 31st May 2009.
Some nice cars, BBQ and RM50 for dyno runs on the Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer.



Here are some shots I took...



Eugene's FD3S.


That is one ugly G35.


We weren't the earliest but we got front row seats.








Not long after that, guess what showed up. A CLK DTM! Talk about rare!




This is the real thing. You can clearly see the carbon fiber weave through the paint.




The GTI club showed up too. I was expecting more civilized people but... *shake head* One of these morons showed up flooring the car to get attention. Not to mention one of them had his brakes smoking away. Dumbass!

NOTE: Because a fellow GTI member got sensitive about what I said, I'm making it clear that not everyone in the GTI group behaved like this. Two or three idiots does not make the whole group one.

Edit: It seems the person with the smoking brakes is not affiliated with the GTI club, I mean the car is but the driver isn't, I mean he wasn't invited, I mean.... I really don't know. You should ask the GTI club members...



Then an F430 Spider showed up.




Audi R8 with a busted shaft.


Abflug Supra. About to embark on a 1000hp journey.


M-Spec Nür? Inspected it. Fake.


The infamous Mel-Tune. I wonder if Melvin still owns this car...


CLK DTM after the dyno run.




427.6hp at the rear wheels. Impressive.


I heard it was 351.4hp at the rear wheels.


For those of you who are wondering why the figures are so low, Dyno Dynamics are well known for producing very low figures, which is why it is nicknamed the 'Heartbreaker'. Some say it's one of the most, if not, the most accurate dynamometer.

Getting on the Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer. Didn't exactly break my heart. I was quite impressed actually. =)
Bet you're itching to know the results... *grin*


Here's a video of it...
