Rolling Roads in Ireland

Hopefully sorted next week, I hope (touch wood ). September 15th, hhhmmm a Friday. Will see if I can sort something with work and head down. What time where you thinking?

Haven't sorted an exact time with ECC, probably early in the morning. I'll almost certainly be back up to them in October the get the PA FMIC fitted, probably on a Saturday - so that might suit better?

FYI, I've just found out that there's a RR 2 mins walk from my house in Dublin - it's on Nottingham Street in North Strand. Their workshop have also just rebuilt a 20VT!

excellent david... couldnt get much better than that

Sweet!! Your Coupe tried to escape from the RR
What was the fuelling problem David??

I'm putting up my results tonight, I've been off sick since Sunday
(and no it wasn't from the match, I didn't even see it, I was that ill!)

Maybe , but I think Mayo finally copped on to attack in the last 15 mins, instead of defending and hanging on for the final whistle and losing yet again!!

Go on David very good find with a RR and somebody who has just built a 20VT so close to you .

Well whats the results?

New firm with a rolling road just opened 2 units down from Linnane's workshop in Rathnew. Couldn't get in as they had a jumbo dog (half wolf, half donkey) wandering around that hadn't been fed for a week. Don't know anymore about them: Various scruffy old Japanese power wagons dotted around but not a soul in the place so no prices etc.

i'll bring my yorkie/russell down to sort out their wolf/donkey - he's only 2kg, but viscious! Nice location for a RR, hope it turns out to be good.

Been at westwards rollers a few times and found them to be very good indeed...

David have you found a rolling road that checks boost pressure during the session?
I have a boost gauge fitted 3 weeks now and it's reading the max boost 1.1 bar.

I got the fiat code number for that pipe( the one you run the boost gauge off) that Martin at Westward told us to keep an eye on if case it cracks.

It's part no. 46468079 and costs €8.99.
I'm keeping the boost gauge on till the meet, so you can check out the boost for me and then it's coming off the car!

John Linanne doesnt know his arse from his elbow and wouldnt have a clue what he would be looking at if he was to try and service a trackday or race car and its engine.So shut up with the bullsh*t here.

Can I ask you something?Have you actually had 1st hand experience with Robbie and Trackday Performance or spoken to the man in person?Probably not.

Merely listening to bullshit talk from others who have nothing better to do.

Well dont believe what other people tend to warble on about.People talking alot of sh*te about Robbie.Why?Because hes that good at his job that it makes others sick to see him succeed.Alot of jealous and bitter people out there that just talk crap about others.

Robbie and Trackday Performance are one of the best engine building/tuning and race car prep companies in Ireland.2500 bhp Dynapack dyno room in house along with full CNC machine shop facilities.

Robbie has built 3 turbocharged engines and looks after all of my race and road cars.Hes a very easy going and very sound man who knows about all engine turbo and n/a.

He also installs stand alone management systems and maps then for F3 cars,Rally cars (Dunlop Rally series Group N Evos,Scoobies,Modified RWD Escorts and Corolla,s etc etc) and fast road and trackday cars too.He also builds and prpes some very fast and powerfull Evos and Skyline GTR,s with over 700bhp in them.

I reccommend Trackday Performance to any Irish person on this forum.

He installed my traction control and did a good job. Will be going down to him for a power run soon as well.

Well,when all the Northern Irish modified RWD Dunlop rally car boys and the Group N Rally Evo and Scoobie boys trailer their cars down from the North down to Rathnew to get mapped and dynoed by Robbie,that says something about his tuning/mapping skills and his service.

Top man,top company and top service too.

I will be down there tomorrow working on the 147 Cup race car.The back and inside of it is cut out now so its time for some serious measuring up and welding to start on it.

Yeah,he isntalled and live mapped my Omex engine management and the Race Logic system on my 147 road car.He knows his stuff.I have some new pics to post from today in Trackday Performance,Will upload them later on.

Just incase anyone here from ireland thinks that Trackday performance isnt a serious garage or tuning and machining place,heres some pics.

When you say live mapping, do you mean a custom EPROM?

He will take the car out on the road with the laptop hooked up to the car,if he feels it needs to be done this way,then he will dyno it and then he will do a custom map on the dynapacks to see what the best setup is for he car.So yes,a custom map designed to suit the car and its engine and modifications,if any.

Robbie will get the best from an engine,but keep it as relaible as possible.he will gladly disscuss this with you before any work is done.
