I've been in discussion with the guys in the Scottish section of AROC (Alfa Romeo Owners Club) about doing a joint rolling road day at Wallace Performance, Aberdeen.
They are keen to make it happen so lets see if any coupe owners will be up for it.
Usual deal; 2 power runs with fueling check, cost will be £40 (although this might come down if we get decent numbers). Nominally looking at the weekend of 14th/15th March and probably the 14th depending on what we can book.
I'll fill in more details as they are worked out. Interested parties list their names below.

Haven't decide yet on turbo, maybe gtir,superspool, the others seem a bit more hard work and me been a lazy mofo cant be arsed I Have Evo 6 fmic & sip ready to go on. I thought it would be ages before I could afford that, but the bank of Scotland are giving money away, just don't tell her she is evil. What turbo you thinking about going for Andrew? O.T. I know but mods up here are drunk after 8pm

Sounds good sparky, well i thought that the GT28R might of been a good choice combination with power/spool-up. If only i had another turbo u could of hand my old GtiR (would need refurb tho) mmmmmm GT3071R wonder what kind of mods i would need for that? Is that your current turbo matty? Yeah sorry for highjacking the thread guys

Hello all! More invaders from the SkylineOwners.Com I'm afraid! mattb PM'd me "over there" with a kind invite for our Aberdeenshire members to join your RR day at Wallace performance in March. This is great news because we've tried our own RRD day recently but had to cancel due to lack of numbers... despite Skylines clearly being the best cars EVER it seems that this onerous duty means that not all of them (i.e. most) are allowed to be working at the same time C'est la Vie! I'll put a thread up in our Scotland section and post back here with numbers. Like some of your members a lot will depend on offshore rotas. Thank's again!!

I`ve mention this meet to Noel20VT again and he seems more confident that he`ll be able to attend this one as he`s not needed as much for Saturdays . He`s quite keen to get to a RR meet but whenever one is organised he ends up having to cover for one of his pharmacies . Baz

We'll be kicking off around 9:30 so if people can aim to be there for that time. Those coming from the South, you can have a bit more time to make the journey up. I will be there from 9 at the latest and so will the guys at Wallace.

Thanks to everyone for showing up today. I think it generally went pretty well. I dont think I've ever stood outside Wallace Performance when it's not been absolutely freezing. Made a nice change today.

Well that`s me just got in after an interesting drive home. I had just got onto the A90 when I went to overtake a car in 5th gear when my revs shot up . So that was me nursing the car home,keeping the torque to a minimum while contemplating a clutch change instead of fitting a Greddy . After a very long 150 miles I plucked up the courage to see how bad it was slipping and to my surprise it was fine . I gave it several high loads and it never slipped once (even when it overboosted up to 1.4 BAR ). I`ve came to the conclusion that it was either a patch of diesel on the road or Sparky doing some voodoo to get the smug grin off my face . Anyway thanks to Matty and the crew again,shame we missed a few of the Alfa`s (the guys seemed to fly through the cars today). Hopefully next time i`ll see a power increase instead of the other way round again too . Baz

No, I'm well behaved now. Running a gtec1 for the minute and taken out the 3.8 bar fpr. Made 280bhp and 250lbft of torque, running about 1.35bar boost.

Mines still up there and is getting some work done to it, hopefully it should be on the rollers next weekend.
How much will I love the two and a half hours train journey back up there to pick it up again, but at least I know it in good hands.
