I haven't got any spare club stickers. If you still have the ones you have had, I can get them on...really are easy to do.

If not. Get one ordered and it should be with you for Saturday hopefully and I can put it on for you if that helps.

Nickw88 · May 11, 2015

@..Jack...

I don't know if you plan to make a list for people meeting at Frankley but I'll probably meet there. I'm not exactly sure where we're heading but am always up for a convoy [emoji2]

ovy · May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm ovy (sy) just wanted to say thanks for letting me bring the big brother (rs Meg) this Saturday will hopefully be at frankely serv for half 7 if not will meet you all there.

Craig1974 · May 14, 2015

I've managed to get the lad out of training, but won't be leaving until 9.
Save him a bacon sandwich.

Addicted · May 14, 2015

Should be a good one!

Lewis200cup · May 15, 2015

What's the post code of where the actual event is? I'll have to meet people there if I come, the 200 needs a clean so I may be late.

@Don which route do you plan to take coming down? I see it's basiclaly East of Worcester now as opposed to North - does that mean you are getting off J7 M5, or going M42/A449 way?

If it's the first one, should be able to meet u guys at J7

I wasn't sure as it's much of a muchness. If any locals can suggest best route I will take their word for it as I'm not certain down there...

Sadly no clue either, not ventured out that way specifically! Will wait and see what others say though

ovy · May 15, 2015

I can help with the convoy route from frankely services I think it's best to go straight down the a435 so it will be leave m5 j4 along a38 onto m42 then off m42 @j3 straight down a435 to bidford

Mike-bham · May 15, 2015

I live locally and I'd probably agree with ovy, thats probably the simplest route. I wouldn't bother going all the way to Worcester and going cross country though.
If you do go down the A435, once its goes from duel carriageway to normal roads, watch out for speed cameras, especially after Studley / Kings Coughton!

I'll probably take a similar route, but passing through Redditch.

Addicted · May 15, 2015

Yep no worries, I'll meet you guys there

Just gave the car a quick clean.

Mike-bham · May 15, 2015

Me too.... And now it's rained

..Jack.. · May 15, 2015

Cleaned car earlier, but been asked to help a family member who's Ill out so will try and get there but can't guarantee

Craig1974 · May 15, 2015

Our cars don't have to be clean do they ? I'd better set my alarm

davo172 · May 15, 2015

Addicted said:
Hit 9k miles now, so will be interesting to see how much the bedding in has made a difference from when I did the RR at just over 900 miles.

Plus a fair bit is my guess :wink:

Bloody hope not. Pmsl

Mikeyjp · May 15, 2015

im not going to be able to make it

got to work,, if you organise another one here, tag me in it please

Don · May 16, 2015

I am going to be late. I will meet you all there. Sorry but just woke up.

Craig1974 · May 16, 2015

Was good to meet some of you guys today, and even better to get my car off the rollers in one piece as well. And even managed a 147 at the wheels (about 174ps) until the front wheels started losing traction. So good day all round

Addicted · May 16, 2015

Weird it lost traction, what tyres are on it? You can see the blips on the graph, not seen that before!

Updated my thread - 322.8! :smile: aka 269 atw! (saying 20% loss, but it was actually on the 4wd rollers this time, not the 2wd with haldex disabled).

More than before by quite a bit tbh (I think it was 253 atw before) - difference of having 900 vs 9500 miles on the clock xD

davo172 · May 16, 2015

Knew it ! lol good results :up:

Toyo's on, but might have been too much pressure in. I'll know next time.
And going on an 18% drop because of the type of measuring (at the wheels) it should work out at just over 174bhp ?

Yeah, I think so! Most go for around 17% with the Clio iirc

RS Charlie · May 16, 2015

I managed to get 159BHP at the wheels. Not bad for a 172

Nickw88 · May 16, 2015

Thanks for organising this guys [emoji2]

Mine ran pretty much as I expected so pleased with my results today. I got 254 at the wheels so 304.8 on the fly. Still slightly disappointed that @Addicted did better than me though [emoji6]

Tbh the torque is pretty much spot on (3ft/lb in it):

Was the new place much bigger/better than the old place ? Same rollers ?

Way way bigger! They've got 2 ramps as well, and a crap load of other space.

Think the rollers were the same, they looked the same anyway!

davo172 · May 16, 2015

Gutted I missed this

Yeah you're right and to be honest there's probably very little in it full stop. Either way your readings very impressive!

Does anyone know what they plan to do with the photos they took? I wouldn't mind a few of mine for keepsake.

Seems they are on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.996208117057623.1073741870.122618367749940&type=1

Could prob ask them for higher res if required, facebook tends to eat the quality!

edit: We raised £325 for charity - so good work guys

Nickw88 · May 16, 2015

Thanks for the link. There's some good photos on there and a nice amount raised considering we were lower in numbers than expected!
