Hey Guys.

As per the Aberdeen thread, looking to arrange a rolling road day in May/June/July time.

Obviously 29th out(SICD) and I'm on holiday next 2 Sundays (5th June, 12th June) so looking at either before 29th may or after 12th june.

What you guys think?

Looking at £50 per car, if 10 cars turn up.

Cheers.

Ross

There is a couple of things I need to do, put me down as a maybe for a run.

Even if I didn't run I would come along to support you guys with my pom poms...

Furthest date possible for me as Im not the quickest in getting things done, comes in handy sometimes

Im up for this as long as its towards the end of the year!

Stay away from dashfixer , there pish, rollers are out about 30bhp , get on the phone to Ava , there rollers are more accurate and they measure afr and emissions unlike dashfixers strap it down and ask you how much power your expecting approach .

Lol.

I've used Ava, falkland performance and dash fixer.

Ava's rollers put an abnormal load on the car, so much so that the boost spikes everywhere when it's on the rollers, even though its fine on the road.

Falkland were quite good but miles away from me.

Dashfixer was accurate when I went tbh. I'll dig out my old graphs next week but I made the same power as my 1/4 mile time would have indicated.

I'm happy to go to somewhere else if people have an issue?

Ross

Just basing it on my Megane 225 witch was standard and made 240bhp and the boy that was working there owned an astra Vxr that was totally standard apart from a remap and was running 300bhp , my car then made 222 bhp on Rs tunings rr in leeds before mapping ,oh and the 300bhp astra got spanked off a real 300bhp supercharged type r ;-)

Hmmm.

If that's the case then fair enough.

What rolling road would you prefer?

Ross

Extreme motorsport in Whitburn are good, Dastek rollers and roaded my car last year at 330bhp ... i would be up for this if i knew my car would be built in time .

Well that's an option. I know Marco uses them for his car, or used to.

Ross

Think its a case of finding a r/r and sticking to it.

I also tried Ava and got 266, then went to Wallace performance where it started at IIRC 240 and eventually ended up at 250 after adding some bits and repairing some parts,which seemed about right and on course.

I just wish Matty at Wallace performance was a bit closer.

My front bumper was cracked at Ava however.

Well Im happy either way to be honest.

I'll go with the majority.

Ross

lets have a vote as to who would prefer to go where then and try and get some definates

i'll start wallace performance preferred assuming i haven't sold the car, which secretly i hope it doesn't sell as only i put it for sale to appease the other half lol

I'm easy and will go to dashfixer but won't be puttin my car near the door never mind the rr .:)

If it ended up in hillington r/r we could go and look at tiles after ( she's on at me ) it's like tile city, that would be a fun day.

Once my coupe is finished ill go anywhere apart from ayr!

Ayr..... Boke!!! lol

More like bokeback, full of them

Anyone up for a rolling road day??? either aberdeen or glasgow?

Ross

Me if my car is finished

yeh i am up for that.....if/when i get my car finished

Do we have any dates for these cars getting finished? lol

Ross

mine is just off the road for paint work but i also need a clutch so.....not sure lol

when roughly were you thinking about a rr

I'm ready when everyone else is tbh.

I'm just wanting to check mine is running correctly.

Ross

Erm ... End of June as i'll need a trip down to Bristol after the build...

Apart from the map i only have.... Gas flowing, fitting c&b cams, port matching, fabricate flanges for new turbo, fabricate top fitting for grey injectors then rebuild and fit the engine.... Oh and resprey, yep okay .. I better get a move on lol

Roger, Flea would probably come up to do the map if we got a couple more coupes to make it worth his while.

Well that would be amazing tbh Ronnie although i need to stop by another place down south for my party piece was planning on doing both on the one trip...

Interesting thought if Flea could come up though, live mapping would take a long time though to get right as compaired to a remap.

Btw ..... Cleaned your coolant bottle yet chap?? lol

No, Ill have to get Janice on to that.

Just as luck would have it, I found one in my shed, just got to find someone to fit it

I'll do it!!

Ross

p.s. sprinty for breaking soon

Sure you'll manage it Ronnie... If you can fit a polished oil cap you can challenge anything lol

Thank god someone has already fitted your CHOD

... Ross can do it... Sprinty for breaking, just so happens i need a few sprinty bits lol

P.S. I think everyone should get a fresh timing belt fitted to be on the safe side... Excluding Sparky who is fine! lol

I think so to, just to be on the safe side, there is a guy on here who will do a great job with a very good price, cant recall his name though....


Oh thats right, its just below here
