[Feb 1, 2015] North west rolling road day (Runcorn)

[Knuckles]

Copied from @Chi 's thread to hopefully generate more interest.

Rolling road day at EFI Parts in Runcorn, Cheshire. Sunday 1st February 2015

Previous Dyno days have been a great success as hopefully anyone who's been to one can attest.

Everyone is welcome if you're running your car or not. Free tea / coffee / buscuits as usual.

For £30 you'll get 3 runs on our modern 1100hp Superflow 2WD dyno and printouts showing flywheel power, torque, air:fuel ratio and boost if applicable. Wheel power can be printed on request.

Power is not a problem - big HP turbo's are welcome. We have some monster engine cooling and extraction to deal with just about anything. Plenty of space to spectate.



One rule though - no diesels without DPF please. Modern diesels with DPF that do not smoke are welcome but older / tuned / non DPF smokers are a no go guys, I'm very sorry.

First come first served, please make payment directly to Chris via PayPal gift to sales@efi-parts.co.uk

Any questions just ask

Some pics from the last rolling road day at EFI

[Knuckles]

I'll go to this

Ben

Ooh, which car will be coming?

 

[JamesBryan]

I'll go to this

Ben

You ARE running the Fez!

 

[497adam]

Are there spaces left?

 

[ben_p]

Yea I can bring the fez I guess

 

[StuOwen86]

I'm calling over (I'm not running on the rolling road though) with a mate who's got a tuned Fiesta ST convinced him to put it on the rollers if there is space left when he turns up. Weather permitting might get my dad to come in his car no dyno run for him though (Quattro so can't run on the 2wd dyno)..

@JamesBryan you fancy it? Providing we can fix my car tomorrow?

Might do mate. Ours are quite low though and Chris sometimes has problems with low cars. The front bumper could bottom out.

 

[jakehamer1994]

I might come to this if im free, @Knuckles is there any spaces left? as might know a few others that might wanna come along

 

[tomhunt85]

I should be there, will pay Chris next Monday on pay day. Belts have cleaned me out this month.

I'm not organising it sorry, this is @chis baby. I just posted this to get more interest.

The way it worked last time was, they ran the people who had their names down and paid beforehand, then let people run who just turned up.

So you'll almost certainly get a go

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Will probably have a ride down to this

 

[Cropper]

I might bring the AG along but won't be running just come down for a chat and to meet a few of you guys if that's okay!

 

[welshname]

Not putting my name down but if I'm free I'll pop up to this.

 

[Knuckles]

That's great, it'll be good to see you again @Smiffyboy1990 and it'll be good to meet you @mjcropper

Why won't you be running out of curiosity?

 

[Cropper]

Sounds silly but I've always been put off by running ever since a mate of mine blew his engine on one!

 

[Adam93]

Looking forward to this, not met anyone of CS yet.

 

[Paul.M]

All being well I'll come down to this, will bring the camera too and get some vids of the cars on the rollers.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

It's the risk you take, the way i see it is that when your having a good blast in your car you take it to the limiter most times anyways, so in theory it's the same, well that's what i think to put my mind at ease haha..

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Like wise @Knuckles

I'll be coming in the ST but if there's any spaces left I'll pay on the day to have a run.

As Smiffyboy says, it's only like doing 3 hard runs in your car on the road, your mates would have blown on the road if didn't blow on the RR, aslong as your car is fine mechanically it'll be fine.

I'll probably head over to this, won't be running though as I've not done anything to the car power wise since I last ran it there.

 

[Cropper]

Yeah I know what you guys mean! Guess it's just a thing that's stuck since he did blow his engine. I'm looking to do a little work on mine over the next couple of months so hopefully be on the RR next time! But I'll definatly come down meet a few of you as I literally know nobody on these forums haha.

Stick it on so then when you RR again after you've done work you can see the gains!

I'am in the same boat, i've met a few members on here and it's been fantastic and very welcoming experience! RR day's/meets are always good, pictures, chit chat etc, etc...

 

[chrishesketh]

I'm booked on see you there [emoji106]

 

[IanRS200]

Be silly for me not to come down, potentially buying a 182 on the weekend and I live literally one mile from EFI! See you there...

 

[Chi]

[Smiffyboy1990]

Managed to blag a mate to come, he's got a 208 GTi but at the moment it's flashing all sorts off warning lights at him, but hopefully should be 'fixed' by then!

 

[Chi]
