are these guys not gonna want a lunch break?!?!

Lol, well I'm 'happy' with any time but I'm not promising I'll be there by then, I'll do my best.

we'll go get a happy meal for them

Are they likely to need to get under my bonnet? as i have a broken bonnet cable at the mo and don't really wanna be messing around on my hands and knees

mines broke too, about 2 seconds and i can have it popped for you.

Cheers, I'm pretty good at it too now but only because my grille is broken

Just a gentle reminder. I need to get £100 back from the deposit so make sure you have either loadsa wonga with you or a cheque book

im skint thought it was all inclusive? im kidding chaps

i'm setting off from preston just after 9 now so should hopefully be getting there for 10ish!

me too, along with the g60 mk2 golf and a redtop corsa

See you tomorrow boys! looking forward to it. going to get extremely drunk now. Matt

see you all at about ten.

be there around lunch time

I'll be there at stupid o'clock.

I'll be there ASAP sometime around lunchtime hopefully

with me in tow

Bugger that - you've got the Sat Nav.

Dont follow him then!

I'll be there about 10.

Good day out and glad everyone made it. Bit of an education and I'll beat Matt to it - Superchip 1 Gtech 0 Also impressive how the non modded cars performed - Stradoz on P reg with 113k on clock - snip under 220bhp

Good to some pics soon.

Any more info??

Ross

Got back couple of hours ago, interesting day to say the least!

Some of the runs were close to what people were expecting and then others were quite a bit below including mine.

I was expecting 360-370bhp as this is what Doctorfrag has got time and time again at other rolling roads which i have graphs of in my coop folder.

On the day it got 325bhp/280lb-ft, earlier it had got 319bhp!

My main reason going today was to check the fuelling was ok, but i haven't actually achieved this because on my 3 AFR charts they are a bit inconsistent.

The guys there also were having a problem with the RPM, don't the full details to this but were saying the revs were out approx 500rpm. I have done a quick search and on the Lancer register they had a RR day a year ago and were a few comments on the same issue. This says to me they don't really maintain the dyno too much.

Anyway, whinge over! The car is superb on the roads and feels the same as the first day i've got it, so taking the results with a pinch of salt! I actually tried to get the car on another RR today at TDI north, but couldn't fit me in so will be going in a couple of weeks!

Very well aranged by Gman (alan) and was good to meet a few more people!

I'll let everybody else post their results and views up!

One last damper on the day, my mate in his CTR has got a very big dent halfway down his 2 week old £450 buddyclub exhaust!

Sorry to here about your mates exhaust - when did it happen? Not sure about maintaining the dyno? Cowboy's was almost spot on to what he expected as was MattM's. Standard coops were almost at book values. Wasn't your mates CTR more or less spot on? For some of us the biggest shock was the Gtech1. A few of us had almost identical set ups ie Gtech1 and K&N and were posting 225-240

Anyhow glad you all made it back safely.

I thought you were gettig less than that with the gtec 1's.

I think 5-20 hp increase for a generic £25 chip isnt bad going. Imagine when your talking a few bhp theres quite a few other variables effecting the resulting bhp.

Well, i was chuffed anway, 225 at the flywheel with a panel filter and a greddy boost controller.

Was a well organsied day, despite the dissapointments. Cheers for the efforts Alan!

not too sure when it happened but probably when they were trying to get it on the ramps, they had a bit of trouble getting it on the ramps aswell as mine. Also his results weren't quite what he expected, especially the torque figure which was at least 10lb-ft lower than a standard CTR.

Anyway I should be going on the rollers again in the near future, so may shine a bit more light! Think yellow20vtbmx might be going on again as i think he was disappointed with his results, think he got 212 at the fly with a FMIC Gtec and cone filter??? would be good to know what the same coops get on different RR's! The one other thing that worried me was that on my graphs it showed that i peaked at approx 1.3 bar, but on my Blitz EBC it showed that it had peaked at 1.46

anyway, i still had a good time and am going to drown my sorrows with a few shandy's tonight

Once again thanks for arranging this gman!

Mark

after going on the rr with you guys, i went to get some food with mates at a cafe, on the way home following my mate on his road bike upto an unsuspecting hump back bridge he went over no probs, not knowing the road really dropped away, so i managed to launch the coop 30+ feet down the road manage to stay straight but i shit myself and ive cracked the sump and ripped the undertray off.

ive not checked the rest of the car over but i topped the oil up befor nursing her home hoping its only a sump!

what a shit day!!!!!

Ouch ben!! Not good...Best to get it fully checked dude. My mate done over £1500 to a cavvy a few years back when he done the same thing..


Ross

116k nearly 117

Thanks for organising this G_Man, was good even if I only made it for 45mins or so!

Pretty pleased with the results (10yrs and 116k and still pulling 98% of it's original power with nothing modded ) and I now know I need a PRV!

Was great to meet some other Coupe owners (my first meet) certainly looking forward to the next one

Oh, apologies for not knowing who it is but Scotts green who waved as we parted R*** KBU - your n/s breaklight is out, think it was the guys who've been to the nurburgring

Sorry to hear the bad news about the sump mate, hope its nothing more serious!

and cowboy, get that greddy fitted, made a big difference to my 16vt, and will also save you on fuel consumption!

I am totally baffled how coupe's totally standard can get more bhp than one with a gtec and other mods etc etc. obviously condition of the car comes into play, but i beleive before i got there today somebody got 180 odd bhp with a modded 20vt coupe?

i should be going to glasgow to meet up with h2ypr (ross) for a RR, so will be good to compare 2 quite heavily modded coupe's. maybe we might also be able to do some side to side road tests where it really matters! Should be very noisy

Sorry I've not been able to post earlier - family celebration and a very slight hangover.

Firstly thanks to Alan for arranging what turned out to be a well organised, smooth if slightly surprising event.

I was one of the first three on the rollers but all of us had the same setup; Gtech1, PRV and a K & N (cone or panel). Mine only came out at 234 and that was overboosting to 1.4Bar. Due to the overboost, I wanted to take the car back to standard asap which Craig (cheers mate ) did by swapping the chips over. IIRC Craig got 231 and can't remember Alans but I'm sure he'll post up. TBH, I think all three of us were expecting @ 240 - 250 so slightly disappointing. There's deffo more in Craigs as the PRV was wound down slightly.

The day turned up a few shocks for people but Cowboys estimate was almost spot on - claimed 280, got 278 - not bad for a chargecooler Karl.

Nice to meet up with some old faces and meet some new ones as well. I will be going back on the rollers once the Greddys sorted and a few bits and pieces.

Ben - I hope the coops OK mate.
