I believe we have a few people who are keen to get their cars back on the rollers.

The session will be held at Wallace Performance in Aberdeen

http://www.wallaceperformance.co.uk

with our in-house RR operator Matty running the dyno. Day starts at about 10am but you can turn up a bit earlier if you fancy. 2 power runs will be completed for £30.

You can also get various technical advice (good or bad \:D ) from the assortment of coupe owners on-hand.

Names:

i still dont know really, got a new prv from jap and that solved it straight away, just goes straight to 1.2 bar and stays there until it starts to tail off, dont know if the prv that baz lent me on the day wasnt working quite right or something, still think i have a boost leak somewhere though as did the boost leak test and can hear a hissing sound from near the inlet manifold but just cant locate it, at least it has stopped the overboosting though so quite happy

tried feeling around them and putting water over them as well as soapy bubbles but just cant locate it, wondered if it might be the rocker cover gasket as it looks as if it has had a bodge fix applied to it at some point, have done the test a few times but just cant find it

27th/28th would probably be ok for me as i`m going down to the AGM and it would give me a wee break between meets .

Hello boys - apologies for long time since posting - damn its hard working having two kids and your own business. Anyway I would be well up for coming to this - plus the coupe isnt seeing much action at the moment as putting the miles on the work van. Still would be really keen to see how the old girl fairs - plus Baz has had his hands all over her for recent disc/pad upgrade and MOT so she's running sweet a sa nut at the moment! One of our supplers had a bring your own night at knockhill and it was awesome - spanked a few motors and went back a few weeks later whcih means i now know how to put it round without losing half the treat of my tyres! I dont know how much this costs but it would be great if we could get a night like that for us lot next year - if you go to the full marques night i think its about 60 quid for two hours - if we had about 20 of us (could include non coupes??) it would probably be something similar i would have thought (correct me anyone who has looked into this before!).

anyway maybe see you at end of september in Aberdeen. Cheers Noel
