when you are on next and you can get your car ready. Is there anything the RR virgins need to know, any setup or things we need to do before it goes on?

Yeah don't think I need to worry about that! I'm just hoping it isn't 100hp off the original 220+!!

gman you've done a top job so far, i wouldn't like to have all the hassle of trying to sort 13 cars out. never heard anything like rr's revving up to 5000rpm before lifting the clutch can a be a strain on the car because its getting nowhere near the same amount of cold air into the engine. they normally do it 4th gear so your car will be going over 120mph in a sense, and the fans are good but not that good. as long as your engine is relatively healthy you'll be fine you do worry a bit when your car is on the rollers though!

I meant to add I'm new to this game, however a mate of mine with a TT said another owner got his clutch sha**ged 'cos the RR revved it up to 5000 rpm before letting in the clutch for the power runs. Does that make sense, am i going to do untold damage to the car, the ship cannae take it cap'n....... Am a Virgin RR'er & now you got me worried, i dont want my baby blowing anything 0900- MABR 0930- YellowcoupeTURBO 1000- GMAN 1030- 1100- MattW 1130- MattM 1200- Eldinho 1230- 1300- Phil 20VT 1330- 1400- Golf with g60 sc 1430- CTR 1500- Fabia Once the list is compleate i will print off a copy & bring it with me, that way we can mark each car when its done

I may be up for coming along to this, however the Mrs has us penciled in for something else which may get cancelled. Is it a turn up and test or do I need an allocated slot??
Would like the car RR'd to check fuelling etc.
Cheers

Would it be easier to put time slots up then let people put there names next to a time?? i.e; 0900- MABR 0930- GMAN 1000- ELDINHO 1030- 1100- 1130-
etc etc Just an idea, tell me to sod off if u want! Well that idea seems to have worked. I'll also be a RR virgin but as I'm up first my coop should be a standard 220 (oh I hope so ) so hopefully will give a target for the rest of you to beat.

Last time i went on a rolling road, they had a f**king huge fan in front of the car-blowing air into the engine to simulate air flow when driving. and then all they did was gently change gear til they got to 4th let the revs go as low as poss and then basically put there foot flat on floor and booted right up to rev limiter. they did that about 3/4 times. i dont think its too bad on car. I'll also be a RR virgin but as I'm up first my coop should be a standard 220 (oh I hope so ) so hopefully will give a target for the rest of you to beat. [/quote] Mine ran 225bhp when standard- i think Fiat may have slighty understated what the coop was

I've pushed my time slot forward half an hour to 10:30 as I have to dash off ASAP afterwards. double booked the day, I hate it when that happens 0900- MABR 0930- YellowcoupeTURBO 1000- GMAN 1030- MattW 1100- 1130- MattM 1200- Eldinho 1230- 1300- Phil 20VT 1330- 1400- Golf with g60 sc 1430- CTR 1500- Fabia

hadnt thought about it. I'm currently using 39 front and 32 rear on 215/35/18 tyres. should the pressure be adjusted for optimal RR performance?

Dan I spoke to the RR today and said there be more attending which was fine so I'd have thought come over after lunch? On a general note they are happy to open the doors at 0900 hrs so I intend to get over 15 mins before hand.
