Perfect Touch Dyno day

Looks like i am getting a live map (at the moment) so power run wont be needed... BUT i havent done it yet so just right my name in pencil

as im gona get my live map done, withing the christmas holiday, this wont be need, sorry guys gonna have to count me out for this too.

Any more news as to the possible dates?!

I hadn't checked this thread for a while

List so far is:

Plus me = 17

We need a few more (20+ preferably)

I'm going to make a decision and say that its going to be a Saturday in January. It lets everyone get over the Xmas spend and gives something to look forward to in the New Year.

Subject to confirmation with Perfect Touch, I'm going to go for 13th or 20th.

Remember, PT will require deposits from everyone - this is not like some other dyno days where you can just turn up. Also, its not like other days where you can SAY you're going to turn up and then not bother 'cos you got bladdered the night before

A lot of work goes into organising this, and the price is dependent on a certain number of people attending. If a few drop out, the price WILL go up for the ones that bothered to attend, and I don't suppose they will be too happy.

Any more takers?

Nigel - just wanted to check if they will do a fuelling check for me at the same time as a power run?

Suba - yes, they will use a wideband lambda probe and they'll fit det cans as well.

defo in then - nice cold run time. HEHEHEHEHEH....

Any excuse to try and break 350bhp..

You missed me off the list

Sorry Paul - I didn't spot the difference between you and PaulR_20vt - you're on it now

Oh, go on then, put me down on the list, as it would be good to come along and get a benchmark against so many other Coupes on the same rolling road/day !. Also be some peace of mind that everything is working well before the track day season starts next year .

Phil

Can you add me to the list please Nigel

Well - that's 19 cars, but experience tells me that we need a handful more, as there's always a few last minute cancellations.

I'll be at PT in the next week or so for another remap so I'll get a firm handle on the dates when I go

Dennis - Oops - missed that post - list edited.

Nigel, i'm gonna have to be a maybe!

depends how long it takes to get my turbo sorted! and how much cash it's going to leave me with!!!

Can u put me down please

In the light of Nigel's Unichip being found to be wired incorrectly, as identified by PT, perhaps they could have a quick look at the wiring of those others of us who had a Unichip installed by PTS *just in case* for an extra few quid, around the power runs?

OK - the date for this is being put back a bit, due to the FCCUK Xmas/New year bash and PT's diary being a bit busy

Now looking at either 27 or 28 January

Does this affect any of the list?

its actually better for me now

If it's the 27-28th of Jan, I should be able to make it now....excellent.


Ben.

thats a better weekend for me too, payday weekend!

27th/28th should be fine with me .

Phil

27th/28th is fine with me

Count me in please Nigel
Cheers
Nick
Oh and Merry Xmas to everyone

Nigel - I don't know whether the map on my car needs a tweak so please count me in for this day.

*fingers crossed i can get a cambelt protector before this day*

It's good for me too.

Has a firm date been arranged for this now . I can make either day, but would like to confirm which day I wont be around asap .

Phil

Yes - I'm going for Saturday 27th

I now need DEFINITE confirmation - as soon as I can arrange it, I will also be looking for deposits to be made (to Perfect Touch, not to me)

Could everyone that's shown interest please post again to confirm attendance - once the numbers look about right, I'll provide payment details.

Excellent ! I'm a definite .

sorry nigel but i can't make the 27th. so i'm going to have to pull out. i totally forgot i was playing in a charity football tournament that my brother has arranged for his 10th anniversary with being diagnosed with cancer, so can't really miss it.

if for some reason the rr day gets changed to the sunday then i can make it.

Put me down as a definate.

Looking forward to it.

Sorry guys, gonna have to count me out for this.

Can't make this now. Sorry.

I'll come down to watch but no dyno run (think my clutch might be on its way out)

Im very interested, Where is Perfect touch guys....

Hoddesdon IIRC

North east of London.

Whats the deadline day for saying yay or nay?

Just got my baby back and want to run it for a week to make sure it has no other issues before I commit to this.

Not sure yet - we certainly need more runners though - a few days yet before I have to decide to go with it or cancel

Ok, well put me down as interested and I'll confirm or bail in a few days.

Sorry. I have to pull out. My car is off the road and I will not have time to sort it out before the RR day.

BUMP!

ten is NOT enough - I'll have to cancel if we can't absolutely guarantee a minimum of fifteen cars.

its either that or the price will have to rise, which I don't want to do.

So c'mon - all you owners with a handful of mods - G-tec, exhaust, filter etc - you SURELY want to know everything's running OK and of course, there's the bragging rights when the power is PROVEN to be good

So what is the cost currently? is that confirmed as £35?

I will check what i have on around that time and get back to you.. sorry i havent done sooner.

Seems pointless me doing it as i have another engine and turbo in the pipeline but would nice to get a figure on the current set up just to know.

Also are dirty jap cars allowee as i have a friend with a 200sx that might be interested?

£35 is the current figure - may rise if we can't get 15 or more

As we're struggling, I'm happy to extend this to "invited cars" like 200SXs - the Coupe forum and 200SX forum have always got on particularly well

Does anyone have any contact details? Haven't seen Kev around for ages

you know you want to move this to the sunday instead Nigel.

I want to go to this so much

eldinho - PT have sugested that I consider moving it to Sunday. I'm not keen, on the basis that many people will have made arrangements. However, it MIGHT just allow a few more to attend, so here goes with two simple questions:

1) If I move to Sunday, who out of the list of definites would have to drop out?

2) If I move to Sunday, who else would (definitely) be able to make it?

As I've said, I'm disinclined to muck around the people that have committed, but let's see what happens.

i'm ok with sunday

I could also make Sunday .

Phil

i can understand that you can't change it if people who are already on the list for saturday can't go on the sunday, that would be unfair.

but anyway i'm good for the Sunday!!

i'm good for sunday

Confirmed:

Sunday's fine with me

Should. be ok with me

Right i can do both Saturday OR sunday (would prefer the saturday tho). I wasnt on your list of interesteds but i need a run after my new exhaust is installed and i've booked the time off from work.

Im ok for Sunday

if this ends up being on the sunday, looks like there will be a few 16vt's there

you aren't going to embarrass me are you , what mods have you got truffle and pfoe???

by then i SHOULD have my 3" full exhaust system with Decat, and the Pro Alloy FMIC and Straight Induction all installed.

At the moment i'm undecided as to whether or not i should get the 3 bar FPR installed BEFORE the RR day, or see the results and possibly install it AFTER.

My worries are that i'll be cronically underfueled with my new mods without the FPR and the trip to the RR will affectely be a waste. Or that i put it in and then go for the RR and find i'm over fuelling and didnt need to put it in anyway.

What do people think?

i'm guessing you've got the evochip aswell then!

also its better to be fuelling rich than lean!

your power should be quite close to mine! last rr i went on i got 230bhp/267lbs, but my downpipe flexi was blowing so lost a bit of power.since then i've had my downpipe upgraded and my turbo upgraded to a T3 Super 60.

I'm getting a FMIC and SIP soon but don't think it will be done in time for this!

anyway, i don't even know i'm going yet as it might still be on the saturday!

I should be ok for Sunday too.

me and coupedummy are thinking bout it, ill post as soon as we know. i cant wait i finally get my car back this week.

Gibbo - can't reply to your PM - your mailbox is full

However, the answer is that they're in Hoddesdon, Herts - about 130 - 140 miles. I live about 25 miles north of brum - I'm happy to lead a mini convoy on the day

cheers nigel, its empty now, i should be up for that, ill let you know this week.

Cheers for the Pm,.. have been very very busy these last few weeks.

Unfortuantely I can't do the 27/28th, away that whole weekend, could have done the weekend before, but with my clutch slipping above 1.1 bar, it would have made a very interesting power graph!!

Joe

Any room for me with my Evo7? If so, I will have the Sunday set aside for definite.

Joe - what's up - you're losing the plot - 28th is AGES away - plenty of time for a new clutch.

And since when did you let prior engagements get in the way of a power run?

Shame you can't make it - I'm sure there will be other days

Maybe our next encounter will be on track - I'll turn my boost down a bit to give you a chance

I'm ok with Sunday.

Truffle - (OK-ish for Sunday)

Nigel - with the numbers that we have is this still on? I don't mind paying a little extra if it means that it can go ahead.

Its currently heading for cancellation

I need 15 runners.

Let's assume that Suba will be OK with Sunday and that we change from Saturday - that will get eldinho in and make it up to 12 Coupes

I could do with us all stimulating some more interest - do we know any other local Coupe owners that can be "persuaded" that they need to see what their car is doing

mburns120 isn't on your list Nigel.

What about Markus and TurboNick? Aren't they localish?

I'll see if alessandro's about as i'm sure he'd be up for checking his fuelling.

I'll also call Suba tonight and get him to make a post. He was away skiing last I heard from him.

did the SXOC get invited to this???

I'd be up for this (Sat or Sun). Maybe a post in the general section might drum up a little more interest?

Daz

Nobby - I'd seen mburns120's post - I was trying to fill up with Coupes first

There are a few possibles - just chasing them up

Ill see if i can get the old man to bring his Coop along

OK - as a teaser for all the possible runners - I will provide FREE OF CHARGE a diagnostic code reader session for each car before it goes on the rollers.

This will check everything on the ECU - air and water temps, AFR, sensor readings and MOST importantly, throttle butterfly angle. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you're getting as close to the max of 84 degrees as possible?

Many cars have found a large chunk of horsepower simply by correct adjustment of the throttle cable. The worst I've seen was about 65 degrees - the owner reported that the car felt completely different afterwards - probably about 30bhp "found" and of course, totally free!

hi there guys i should be able to make this.

I prefer the Saturday - what sort of time were you thinking on Sunday?

OK - I'm going to have to make a decision - I'm changing to Sunday. It looks like most, if not all of the original attendees can make it on that day, plus one or two that couldn't do Saturday

Time will be most of the day.

I expect things will get going at 9:30 - 10:00, with cars on every 20 - 30 minutes max

I need to establish a running order - I'll be there from first thing - I'll devise a spreadsheet to record all the data.

We'll also have to establish some parking / vehicle moving system - Perfect Touch's workshop is long and thin, with the dyno cell at the very back - one car will need to be ready, warmed up outside the workshop to drive onto the rollers as soon as the previous car comes out. there's certainly not enough room on their carpark for all the cars.

Glad to hear that this now looks like going ahead

I will aim to get there for around 10am and probably stick around until about 3pm, so would prefer a slot between 10.30am and 1.30pm, if possible.

Nigel - I should have all the bits for my ACR by then, so could possibly help out with the code reading, if you like. It would be useful for me anyway, as I would like to understand how to use it properly, and this looks like an ideal opportunity !

Phil

Earlier would suit me best but i don't mind too much, i will get there early anyway.

Same as Phil for me really, I'll get there about 10 and have to shoot at 3 or there abouts, can possibly stay longer if required but I'll have to know if advance to make other arrangements for what I'm up to in the evening.

Cheers, Mark

Thanks for your effort in setting this up Nigel, really looking forward to it!!

Cool. Looks like going ahead then

Ideally for me would be late AM, early PM,if at all poss.

Nice one Nigel

Sunday 28th Jan.

I'll be asking rob to back off just before he hits the limiter.. i'm still paranoid android after the last time.

something is wrong with the message post engine....seems to post muliple posts for no reason (a.k.a. me and hyper)

Hey Gianni how are those wheels?

Oh and Id be up for this too Nigel as long as I could have an afternoon slot, preferably around 2ish if possible.

good..car feels a bit wierd compared to when it was on 16's. Looks loads better but i think i prefered the feel on the smaller wheels.ive still go to put bilsein + eibachs. soon though....soon

I know you said it is not a turn up and go thing, I was going to confirm and pay the deposit. Trouble is my second car, a fiat uno 1.1 has just given up the ghost and is going to be scrapped. Would it be possible to confirm closer to the date?

Kevin - you're on the list

elder81 - Perfect Touch must be paid before the event - I'll be posting payment details in the next day or two

I need to get the 15 minimum in order to secure the event (so I'd much prefer if you could confirm earlier, rather than later. However, once 15 have paid up, you should be able to tag on at short notice.

How do you want paying Nigel? Thanks for sorting this out btw, much appreciated.

Can I have a mid afternoon slot please?

i wouldnt mind an early run if that is possible?

PAYMENT DETAILS

Slight change to the original published cost - I'm hopeful that this won't make a difference. The original cost of £35 per car was based on 25 cars. It looks pretty certain we're not going to get 25 cars - 15 or so looks to be the figure.

I've just spent a few minutes doing a deal with Claudio to keep the cost to £40 per car.

I hope that the extra fiver isn't going to make a difference to anyone - I can't believe it will, so as far as I'm concerned, we're going ahead. Now fully confirmed as Sunday 28th January starting at about 9:30am.

The only concession I've had to make to secure the rate of £40 per car is that to save Claudio a bit of time and effort, I will be collecting the money in advance.

There will be no paying on the day - all payments MUST be in advance. If you fail to turn up, you lose your £40. If you can't turn up, you can always "sell" your place to another owner.

I can't be bothered to PM everyone with payment details, so I'll post here. Maybe some Nigerian scammer will try and send me a cheque for £5,000 and get me to give the excess to his "agent", but I can handle them.

Please make your £40 payment using online transfer to:

Mr N P Ogram - Forum Account
Nat West A/C No 32150172
Sort code 53-70-15

Please make it OBVIOUS who its from - state your forum name.

THEN - please PM me to confirm you've made payment so I can cross people off the list.

I'll be knocking a spreadsheet together to record all the runs and collate the results into some kind of a graph

Historically, with other FCCUK events, the point where money is requested is where it all goes pear-shaped and previously "confirmed" attendees drop like flies.

If more than one or two drop out, there will be only two options available to me:

1) Cancel
2) increase the cost per car

I don't want to do either.

Finally - I'll be putting together a basic running order soon - watch this space.

i will be coming down with kenno.

I haven't got the facilty to do online(or by phone) banking.

And I'm going to struggle to get to a bank during the next week or so!

Is anybody willing to take £45(covering any costs which you may get charged, plus a bit extra ) off me via Paypal, then pay Nigel £40. I've got funds in my Paypal account already so they will clear straight away!

Paid in cash at NatWest Eastbourne Seaside branch just now.

(Sorry, don't do paypal or online banking either )

eldinho - you have PM

Paid via Online banking, its a saturday and we're with different banks so it'll probably only appear in your account on Wednesday.

Well guys. Been reading this thread from the very beginning and just wanna say good luck to everyone and someone bring a large piece of 25 year old oak, that everyone can touch before they run on the rollers!

Ross

Nigel, payment just sent on internet banking. I'd imagine you'll receive this in the middle of next week. Thanks, Mark

Hi Nigel
Sorry, but I can't make it.
Have a small water leak somewhere, changed rad, thermostat and pressure cap, pressure tested no probs but Paul still cant find it

C'mon guys - 8 more payments needed - it takes about three days to clear, so you need to be transferring on Monday or Tuesday

Time to throw this open to our other forum friends - if anyone from the usual suspect clubs (200SX, GTV, Scooby, EVO etc) would like to tag along, please let me know ASAP.

Remember that different chassis configurations (RWD, 4WD) will prbably have to tag onto the end of the Coupes to save mucking around with the rollers between runs

We're now on the minimum of 15 - any more drop-outs means this will either cost more, or it will be cancelled. Not chuffed with the prospect of either event, to be honest. If just three more people drop out, the cost would rise to £50 per car, which is on the edge of becoming unrealistic.

I'm not running (don't need to) - I'm already spending £50 on fuel just to organise this - I don't want to be forced to spend another £40 to make up the numbers.

Nigel - payment sent, 3 days to clear. Sorry for the delay, have been on holiday mate. I've no preference as to the time really.

Nigel,

Payment sent, sorry I was away too.

As I feared, despite getting enough confirmed runners, there has been enough people dropping out to question whether this goes ahead.

I'll contact Perfect Touch today to see if they will go ahead with eleven runners (maybe ten if Truffle can't make it)

Please keep a close eye on this thread - I'd hate to cancel and still have people turning up on a freezing Sunday morning!

I'm going from a possible no to a probably no.

I still havent heard a peep from the garage or their insurers yet so no chance of anyhting happening before the weekend i suspect.

i know it very late down the line anyway but i am just confirming that i wont be attending as i have other commitments.

Just letting you know

I've spoken with Claudio and told him that we're looking at ten or eleven runners

I've told him that I've already collected money from people and that increasing to more than £40 really isn't an option

He's crunching a few numbers as I type and will be back to me ASAP

Right - last chance!!!

This will NOT be going ahead with the current number of runners.

Looking back over this thread, there are two people that CONFIRMED attendance and have not been in touch since.

There are also seven other people that expressed interest and have not followed it up with a confirmation either way.

Normally, Perfect Touch ask for an up-front, non-refundable deposit from the organiser (me). However, going by the very good reception Perfect Touch have been getting, Claudio allowed me to pay on the day. Claudio has comitted resource to this - he and Rob have made family arrangements to work for the day and of course it costs a good few quid to open up the workshop, run the dyno cell etc.

I have to let Claudio know by 1:00pm today whether we have the numbers - so here's the ultimatum:

Unless we get three more in the next three hours, this event is cancelled.

On the assmuption that its taken a month to get ten runners, I'm not too hopeful, but you never know.

If its cancelled, I'll get in touch with everyone to arrange refunds.

2 hours.......

if its any help i don't mind paying an extra £10 on the day

well i'm a deffo no for this, RE my other thread (another unlucky coupe...) i still have no rear windscreen and cant get above 40mph without 'consequences' so no motorway driving for me.

Ive had to cancel a vist to see my parents as well

Paul - thanks for the offer - its much appreciated.

However, the bottom line for this event was that PT needed £600 to warrant opening their workshop, firing up the dyno cell and associated gubbins and employing two or more staff to handle the activity.

With ten runners, we're looking at £60 each, which is simply not acceptable.

25 minutes left - this isn't going to happen

Am trying to get a few non-coop owners I know, will post as soon as they get back to me.

if it will help nigel i will come to this. ill just have to bite the bullet.
dont want to let you lot down.

alessandro - has barbz confirmed that it's definitely clutch slip you're getting?

if so, there isn't much point in running.

he said there was but i dont mind coming up mate. if it helps you guys. dont want to ruin the the day. ill just see what happens. if its gonna go its gonna go. its a day out.;)
just noticed your power output very nice.

Thanks for the offers chaps, but I've had to make a decision.

This is now cancelled

There are two things I need to do:

1) I MUST make sure that everyone knows not to turn up on Sunday, so could all people that have paid, please PM me to say they have seen that its been cancelled - I'd hate for someone to travel all the way to Perfect Touch only to find it deserted.

2) Refunds - I have a bank statement with 10 entries of £40 on it and other than "P SAMMS", I don't know which belongs to which. I know two of you have paid over the counter at a bank branch (all I have is 24-41-00 and 60-20-36 - I assume you'll each be able to tell me who these were) Please PM me with your bank details (account number, sort code and account name) and I'll transfer the money back over the weekend. Lets see - £400 in my account over a period of six days at 1% per annum - wohooo! I've made 6.5p interest

I'm gutted - I always knew there would be a few unavoidable drop-outs, but from a very promising start, we ended up with less than half the original number of "V. interested"

Thanks to everyone who confirmed early and paid up. Sorry it couldn't happen.

Such a shame, Nigel

But thanks for the hard work you've done.

I had a pass and everything was really looking fwd to this.

Oh well, PM on it's way.

oh well ....maybe when the few extra cars that arent running due to reliability or wear and tear probs are sorted we can do this again...hopefully when the temps are nice and low and NOT in July

Thanks for the effort nigel
Will pm you my details in a bit

Just logged onto this to express a desire to possibly come down and join in...

Ross

Oh well, maybe next time !

Thanks to Nigel for all his efforts in trying to sort this, and also to Rob and Claudio for rearranging their weekend around us (hope they manage to enjoy a Coupe free Sunday ). Let's hope they will be as accommodating if we try to arrange another day with them later in the year!

Phil

Cant believe this never went ahead?


ross
