Greetings . . .

My problem with Dyno testing is the qualifications and skill of the operators. I have '92 Toyota MR2 that is a rear engine rear-wheel drive vehicle.

When it came time to SMOG test, I took it to the station and stood by quietly and watched them set up the front wheels on the Dyno.

Then I walked out and told the guy to stop and I asked to see the manager. I asked the Mangler are you qualifed to run this place? He looked at me puzzled. I asked him if the operator was qualifed to perform the test? The Mangler said yes.

I then asked: Then why do you screw-ups have the front wheels of a rear wheel drive car up on a Dyno drum?

What if the owner was a chick or some Mr. Milk Toast who doesn't know (or care about) the difference between rear wheel, front wheel or four wheel drive? You guys are supposed to be pros . . .

He was miffed, but he brought another operator over to do the test . . .

regards,
Keith
