North West Meet Chat Thread

[Jon.G]

Pete has asked me to set up a Rolling Road day, would anybody be interested in this to bring the numbers above 10?

 

[Joe#]

I wouldn't mind running mine at EFI again.

 

[Dolan]

I would come to watch

 

[Jon.G]

Just worth mentioning, if this were to go ahead, it would hopefully be at EFI.

 

[MatthewR]

Date dependant ill come to watch / chat

 

[Eddie.]

Depending on the date, I would take the E21 on, if nothing else to check the health of the M10.

Noob moment, but I'm assuming they can dyno a car that doesn't have an ECU?!

Anyway yeah, count me in, providing its after the E21 becomes at least driveable.

 

[welshname]

Yeah Dyno has nothing to do with the ECU. Not the power curve anyway that comes directly from the rollers AFAIK.

 

[JamesBryan]

Only needs an ECU if it's actually being mapped.

 

[Eddie.]

Sick beans.

I'm in then. 90bhp in 1977.

That was ever such a long time ago!

 

[JamesBryan]

Old BMW's make more power the older they are iirc.

Should be about 200bhp now

 

[Pete.M]

I'm definately in Jon.

So we far we have 3 people interested, you say we need about 10 really... Any more takers?

 

[Jon.G]

Yep, 10 ideally. I'll run it a little different this time, but I'll speak to Scoff first anyway.

I'm 50/50 on running.

 

[Carbonraider]

Il run.. If I can pull the finger out and get the car done. Il have a itb off with you Pete

 

[Ash.]

If its not a Sunday I will be game for the meet but I won't be running I don't ever really fancy putting my car on a rolling road tbh.

 

[Joef]

If it's EFI in Runcorn I'm keen. Would like to see what mines running

 

[Jon.G]

Yep, that's where I'm thinking.

 

[Jonff]

How come Ash? Wouldn't worry about the mechanical stress as the cars get more abuse during a drive over Wales lol

 

[Ash.]

Not worried about the mechanical stress at all Jon. Just it's never taken my fancy I don't really care what my car makes tbh, maybe if I was building a car or loads of mods I would want to see what it makes but not fussed.

 

[Pete.M]

because I'm boring, Jon.

Ahh ok then, fair enough.

 

[Ash.]

^ Lols 100%

i was thinking about selling up the other day can't make my mind up if I would enjoy collecting stamps or train spotting more?

 

[Dolan]

Stamps you won't get wet if it rains
Haha

 

[Jon.G]

Stamp Collecting 100%.

 

[Ash.]

The thing is I like stamps and I like the taste of them when I have to lick them but always loved my train set when I was small!
Like you say chris don't get wet with stamps......
​also what's the crack with train spotting what do they look for???? What's the gain?

 

[Jon.G]

You should ask the lad I went to School with, he's been fully into steam trains for as long as I can remember. Proper bizarre lad.

Anyway, no idea, look for rare trains, check the times, carriages?

 

[Ash.]

Train spotting seams pointless then I can just look on google for rare trains! Need something dull and
something with a gain at least with stamp collecting I can sell them or rob post office and get them for free!

Putting a car on a rolling road just got to much excitement for me.

The Ph1 is amazing Ash, really pleased with it. I'll take you for a spin sometime.


We get Tram spotters on the Metrolink, they all come down and watch when we open a new section of it and trams run for the first time.

 

[jesus]

There were about 60 bus spotters in Wigan on Saturday. They seemed happy - maybe try that?

Do you work for Metrolink Pete?

Not directly, I'm working on the construction of the new lines, currently working on the airport line.

Would love to go for a spin in it mate it'll more than likely make me wish I had got it even more! Lol tram spotters and bus spotters I'd be taking water balloons to work with me. People get all excited here when I have a new type or rare plant. I just smile and carry on!

Good stuff, I got a job driving them but decided against it in the end.

 

[Joef]

Any news/further plans on this?

 

[Jonjibbles]

I got my first clio sport on Friday and would be interested to see what it's running at.

 

[Jon.G]

I spoke to Eddie about it at weekend. There seemed to be little interest in it and would need 10 cars confirmed to book it.
