Hi all. I'm looking to organise another North West Rolling Road Day. For the relative newcomers on here, we've run a few of these in the past and they've been successful, albeit with a few surprises (both nice and not so nice). Our last outing was at our usual location of Dyno Demon in Neston, Wirral. This threw up a few irregularities so we agreed to find another location for a "compare and contrast" session. we will be haveing it here Ric Wood Motorsport; http://www.ricwood.com/aboutus.htmlThis guy has excellent reviews and perhaps more importantly for us, a set of Dastek Rollers. Cost £35 per car. For this, you'll get 3 "Power Runs" and 2 full colour charts, plotting BHP, Torque and Fuelling. Due to the cancellation last time, I'll need a £10 non-refundable deposit through PayPal to show your commitment. to get this price i need ten cars so please stick your names down now,if i dont get ten car buy friday there will be no rr also the date will be the 31oct

What time is this starting Karl? If possible I may need the earliest slot as I'm thinking of going to Santa Pod straight after?

This might sound really daft as I've never been to a RR before...but is it possible to have the car tested, then fit my Powertek chip to see the difference then decide by the third run whether to keep it on?

You should communicate that with the RR-guys, but if you make easy access to the ECU id suppose its no problemo!

I've never been to one before...but if I manage to get the Gtec before we go, I intend on running it standard, then with the chip - to see the results. If thats going to be possible.

Oh right ok. Well that's kinda good news as well - means I can fit it the minute it arrives and not have to wait Thinking about it...that would be better as the ECU will be used to the chip and I'll (hopefully) get a decent reading on the rollers to see if its over / under fueling.

Hi Everyone, I've just joined up to help out with the numbers for this event. Sorry to inform everyone that I'm not bringing a Fiat Coupe as I don't have one, but will be brining my Volvo V40 T4 instead. I hope you'll all be able to forgive me this small misdemeanor. Look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks, Andy Mac

Hi all,
Just confirming that I'm defo coming and wondered if there was a achedule or is it a case of everyone one turn up at once?
and is there room for all of us at the same time?
Lastly is anyone filming any of it and can you listen watch or is it one of those where they make you keep out of the way and not watch?
Regards Craig

Remember it helps to have your towing Eye handy although I am sure this should not be a problem for the FCCUK people who are in Coupes as some one must bring one... Helps keep the car still on the RR. What is the plans for lunch Need to prioritise these things!

Hello Everyone,
I've got good news for someone as due to unforseen circumstances I am no longer able to attend this event on Saturday. I'm pretty peeved about it as I've never had the car on a rolling road and would love to know what it can do, but there's nothing I can do about it as the circumstances are beyond my control.
Someone is going to get a fabulous day out for a paltry £35. Good luck to whoever gets my space!

I would also like to apologise to Cowboy for dropping out at the last minute but am pretty sure it's not gonna be hard to find someone to take my place!!!

Well it looks like I'm struggling to get a coolant hose by the weekend? So it looks like I may be dropping out of this. Gutted.
RR days and me just don't mix I think!
Hopefully a miracle might happen!

Was not to bad there were some unfortunate missing coupes though. I got 200 at the wheels Not sure I believe my peak power number of 250 as it was at more RPM than the max wheel BHP..... not sure how that works. Not a bad torque curve but Cowboy's is worth a look at really good area under it. Sure he will get a scan and be singing Flea's praises soon.
I'll try and get my graph up soon but have to fix my web server firstly.

From seeing the graph on the PC and a talk with Ric (Rick?) the drop then rise in my torque curve coincides with my car going first rich (the dip) the lean. I think you may have a supper-spool cowboy as you come on boost (torque is earlier) than my hybrid and my peak power although down on yours is at more RPM. Your curve does not drop off as drastic as my one Karl and 250 @ the wheels is nice.
