EFI Rolling Road Day - 21st October

[JoeyD]

Jon that car looked s**t with no splitter. So odd now it has one

Skoda splitters make Everything look better.

[welshname]

No the fiesta would look stupid with one

 

[JoeyD]

Okay, Skoda splitters make decent cars look better.

 

[Lal B3N]

Mine might just make it on. Its only a skoda splitter it will smash anyway, they are shite lol.

 

[JoeyD]

They're bendy as hell, and at £12 they're just a consumable tbh.

 

[JamesBryan]

Looks like I won't be winding down the coilovers on the weekend then

What size wheels are you running? 16's?

 

[JoeyD]

15" OZ F1's IIRC?

 

[JamesBryan]

15" OZ F1's IIRC?

In that case, don't wind the coilovers down yet.

 

[aucky]

I'm actually tempted to see what the 5 is running instead of the clio

 

[Ash.]

Take the 5 Aucky I really want to see it in the flesh. But I dout I'll be able to make it anyways;(

 

[Joe#]

Yup, I'll have to wait then. I don't want to damage my carbon splitter either..

Not missing much, it looks s**t lol. Really need to take it to Roy.

 

[Christopher]

I think I'll be fine.

I'll have to compare it to the front lip of Jon's Ph1 once it's lower.

You'll be fine Chris, once I took my splitter off it drove on to the RR fine. It was close mind but it did clear.

Bring it! Want someone elses to compare to mine. Need to know if mine is an actual freak, or if it's just the rollers reading slightly high

 

[welshname]

Well I found the last RR graph that was done in Luke's ownership. It was 109.

If I don't make around that I will not be happy although that said, who knows what those rollers were like, that's the sort of figure they do run though.

 

[JoeyD]

There was a ZS that ran on the last day, but I can't remember what the hell it got. I know there was a problem with the traction control/ABS fuse or something though?

 

[welshname]

Yeah mine got removed on a drive out with Jon in the car. Going through the tunnels, anchor on, brakes knock off for ABS, don't go back on...got out the car and ripped the fuse out.

 

[Eddie.]

I remember that, when we stopped by the Aston garage?

Was a decent drive out that

 

[JoeyD]

F**king hell!

 

[welshname]

Yeah, Ed. I'd not had the car long lol! And wasn't it still a little snowy too?

 

[JoeyD]

Trying to kill you from the off then. That's nice!

 

[Eddie.]

It was icy because I nearly bailed while looking at that Signet (sp).

Coming out of the tunnels towards the roundabout is lethal, you lose all sense of speed, and it's so easy to out-brake yourself there!

Lol forgot about that!!!!!

And yeah 100 leptons coming out the tunnels down to 30 jellybeans for the roundabout. Gotta be on the ball if your breaks fail you there it's goodnight Vienna.

 

[Jon.G]

LOL.

We've all been there.

 

[welshname]

Unfortunately so...

It's worse at the point it becomes 1 lane again and you're side by side, you've either got to brake harder to nip in behind or attempt to brake later to get infront. But if the other person does the same as you it's game over LOL!

 

[Eddie.]

Last of the late brakers?

Look but don't stare...

 

[welshname]

If you no longer go for a gap that exists...

Etc

 

[Jonff]

Ran 111bhp IIRC? Not 100 certain on that though.

I've done that in the past too, ended up having to go straight on instead of turning round on the roundabout lol

 

[Eddie.]

Tbf, if you outbrake yourself on the turn in, you'll hit the roundabout, and the kerb isn't small!

If you make the first turn, then yeah bailing out onto the main road is the safe option.

 

[welshname]

111, f**k, ill never make that and mine I'd decat, exhaust, uprated panel filter + no CAF pipe for extra noise I.e fake speed.

 

[aucky]

Predictions on mine Joey?
1.8 with a cone filter.


s**t! Jon! I never paid that deposit, just seen it in my inbox.

What's the score with paying now?

The 8 deposits have been taken iirc. So it'll just be pay on the day.

 

[Jon.G]

Yep, as James said. Just hang onto it for now.

You can pay the full whack on the day.

I'll be positing an update this week with times and a provisional running order. Remember this is Next Sunday!

 

[john_172]

What do you guys think i should expect out of mine, standard 172 done 67000 miles?

 

[aucky]

165bhp

 

[welshname]

164 just to be awkward.

 

[Joe#]

I hoping for 190+. Decatted exhaust and induction kit..

 

[john_172]

Just been looking through all my reciepts and have found a ktec invoice folded up in the book pack for loads of repairs and one of the lines is decribed as "172 group N ECU IN HOUSE" prev owner paid £250+vat, is this a remap? Looked on ktecs website presume its their performance pack 1 judging by the price?

 

[john_172]

165bhp

Thats not bad would be happy with that! Was expecting about to say 150bhp
