go spend the rest of the winter on Garage Journal
can you go deep? like a pit? almost 3m of height isn(t goood enough for a full size lift

I can go up - I need to anyway because I want to ditch the asbestos roof prior to going solar.

I can also remove existing concrete slabs.

P.S. that forum looks quite amazing.

I have an eddy current roller dyno, wanted one for years.
But when I finally found one, quickly realized the excessive noise running it would probably get me a prison sentence.

Now I have the great enormous thing just sitting here, but am afraid to run it.
I could never bring myself to sell it either.
Oh well............

Interesting perspective

I like the idea of them but I've done so much road tuning I just want them for the final bit.

There's some cool road dyno tech out there now for determining power. I might start with that instead.

It might well be asbestos if its been there for a very long time.
I believe they stopped making it decades ago.

Nothing really beats an eddy current dyno for holding constant speed and constant load for tuning each individual fuel and ignition cell.
