Any update Ash, and i gather this is still on

Ben

This is still on Benny, i have got to phone them this week to book the slot. I am going to book it for 7 cars.
So can everyone that's a definite confirm with me that the 31st is still OK.
I will ring powerstation on Wednesday to book and will get the price per car.

List So far is -
Me- Definite
Flea- Definite
Benny- Definite
Nick- Definite
Owl10- Definite
Nigel- Definite
Luke- Definite
Also i forgot to add, what time would be best for everyone about 10am


Thanks Ash

C'mon guys - this is a golden opportunity to get your car checked out on the rollers.

Its a great day out - learn whether you car is producing the power you *think* it is - speak to the guys at PowerStation (they REALLY know their stuff) - speak to modding nutters like Flea and me to see what can be done (may even take a passenger or two for a quick spin)

I'm happy to take my code reader and do FREE checks before it goes on the rollers - as well as the obvious identifying and resetting of error codes, it can also check for throttle opening angle - this is by far the easiest BHP you will ever find - previous code reader sessions have commonly found throttle angles in the low to mid 60s (max is supposed to be 84). The worst was 42 degrees (ie half throttle).

I'll also bring the airbag / ABS pod for the code reader, so I *might* be able to reset your airbag or ABS light, or at least diagnose the cause (the SP code reader isn't always able to reset the light)

PowerStation is a doddle to get to - less than 5 minutes off the M5 at Cheltenham

go on - you KNOW you want to.......

put me down as a more than likely definate as im getting flea to work his magic on my car in next couple of weeks soo that will be good opportunity to see what my new figures will be!

Thanks luke your names down. I bet you will be glad to get your power back after the lean running.

Ash

I'm a definate 10am is fine

Can i take you up on your offer Nigel of a passenger ride

Ben

Put you on as definite Benny.
I wouldn't mind a passenger ride in a powerful coupe too

well the rich running yeah costing me a fortune hopefully if flea is happy enogh with health of my car and can map it properly should see a nice 350bhp if fueling is spot on

Providing my leave goes through on monday i'll be there.

Let me know how your leave goes nrenz123, as i am ringing them wednesday.

Ash

will do, im pretty sure i'll get it though!

can you put me down as a definate please!

i'll bring my compression tester along if anyone wants to check before going on the rollers.

ash, iirc a few friends who have been to powerstation suggested we may get a slightly better price if paying cash

on the previous occasions I've been there (about four or five times) I've found that a wad of cash and no requirement for a receipt can help with the pricing negotiations

has any one go the post code for power station??

thanks

Last time me and paul20vturbo went we payed the normal price but with cash. Everyone will be paying them each so will see if we can all pay cash.

Hmmmmmm quite tempted, always wanted to know what my car was running (completely standard!)

Your more then welcome to come benje, always a good thing to know how your cars running on the rollers.

Ash

Right i am going to phone them tomorrow to book the session. I have 6 definites, so will book for 7-8 incase someone ones to add on soon.

Will let you know tomorrow about the details

Ash

its about 2 hours from me...

im going to pass on this! sorry mate but thanks for the offer!

Its ok marco20valvet maybe next time
Right everyone it is now booked for 10am saturday 31st January for 8 coupes.
The price is 240 +vat for all cars, so that will be divided by how many turn up (roughly £40). If everyone brings cash there will be no vat so please bring cash.
I have told them we all want fueling and det checking, which he has wrote down, but will remind them on the day.

So will see you all at powerstation on the 31st.

Ash

Good work Ash

Ben

Damnit, granted im not driving a coupe anymore but id have loved to come to this!

Ash - I *might* ask for more than one run - Leighton will have a quick tweak of the maps before it goes on the rollers and may also make a few changes while its on the rollers - this may mean several runs, but I'm happy to fork out for an hour's use (which was about £60 last time I did it)

This may be useful for other owners to see, purely so they can see what Leighton does and what the results are

I would be interested in this if there is still any spaces? Joe at countrycruising is currently doing some work on my car including a new turbo. Will this be ok to bring or does a turbo need to be run in?

turbo doesn't need running in!

Theres always one isnt there Nigel? im droping mine down to leighton tomorrow so when i come to this we will see what mine will be running at 1.4 bar. its running 298bhp at 1.35bar now with very rich fueling soo should be much better after leighton does his stuff. not sure wether i should ask him to map it to 1.5bar tho

1.5 is what mine used to run on the RS, not much difference between that and 1.4 IMO!

Nigel i asked about extra time and they said not a problem aslong as they don;t have a booking after our 2 hours, they will just add the price on. I might need abit more time too as Leighton said he will tweak mine also :)]

Plusna your more then welcome to come along, i booked for 8 coupes and only got 6 definites so there will be room.

pfoe i can't see a problem with you coming in a different car if Nick doesn't come or say hes a definite.

Ash

what would we be talking eldinho?? with 0.1 bar difference. . .
