RR in midlands

LegoHead · Oct 25, 2005

Just want a quick go on one to see what power increase I have gained with my viper and SMT6. any good places around the midlands, wolverhampton or telford area preferably.

Clart · Oct 25, 2005

theres one in hinckley, john wilcox, I know theres been meets there b4. I'd be up for that

Adams_16v · Oct 25, 2005

maybe sort a RR day out in midlands?

Dancliovalver · Oct 25, 2005

hillpower have one mate

Matbrown · Oct 25, 2005

Yeah HP have one, the one at Wilcox is crap, not a constant load RR!
If you are wanting to compare you need to go back to the place you had it done last time.

^^ yeah but the buttie van at Wilcox was pure class Mat! :clown:

LegoHead · Oct 26, 2005

I havent done it before, so anywhere will be fine as long as there figures aren't too exagerated.
Who wants to arrange it then?

Dave. · Oct 26, 2005

ill be up for that!

theduck · Oct 26, 2005

theres aldon automotive, few people went there last time.

Middo · Oct 26, 2005

do you reckon i'd embaress myself if i took my 1.2 along lol. i'd be interested to know how much bhp my vipers added etc.

Dancliovalver · Oct 26, 2005

if your goin hillpower ill go, only coz its where i had it done last time

Steve · Oct 26, 2005

I read that there can be upto 15 bhp difference straight out of the box due to tolerances.

Theres also Phoenix motors in Hinckley off the dodwells estate. Not sure if Colin Blowers also have an RR too.

Don · Oct 26, 2005

There was a RR day in August (I think) at Aldon. The results were pretty low, and this was everyone's car, not just the occasional 1 or 2. I don't know any down here, (Telford/W.Midlands) so I can't give any advice.

theduck · Oct 26, 2005

i thought that it was just some of the younger/less run in cars? at least thats what aldon have told me since

We had one at Northampton Motorsport a while ago. Everyone was consistently 10bhp down on what they expected. Pics

Then a month or two later we went to Power Engineering, where everyone was pretty much spot on what they expected, except for a few with obvious problems. Pics

Lagerlout · Oct 26, 2005

I'd be up for a RR day.

Hillpower seems like a good bet it's only just off the M42 and we get a club discount there.

Matbrown · Oct 26, 2005

I'll have a word with Nick, last time i was over there it was out of action.
Also, he doesn't have the facility to provide a print-out at present but we'll have plenty of witnesses.

matty w · Oct 26, 2005

surely taking it to a renault expert would be better,i've had mine on nicks rollers before and after i had some work done,

LegoHead · Oct 27, 2005

how much does it usually cost? bit skint at the moment.

Adams_16v · Oct 27, 2005

not sure about nicks but they tend to vary. iv seen them from £15 for 2 runs to £45 for 2 runs!

Matbrown · Nov 6, 2005

I had a word with Nick, but he wants to hold off having a rolling road day until he has got the data-logging facilities.
Will let you know when he's ready.

Mat.

LegoHead · Nov 6, 2005

I do want to have a go on the rollers, spent soooo much already and only added chip and viper, wanna see if it is worth it.

LegoHead · Feb 1, 2006

theduck · Feb 1, 2006

wide · Feb 1, 2006

i was going to organise 1 for the west midlands in december but everyone wanted to get christmas & new year out of the way! if people are still up for it i could organise 1 at Dyno-tunning Bromsgrove?

Lunner · Feb 1, 2006

Hillpower, Williamsclio already have a rolling road day organised there

wide · Feb 1, 2006

if i remember correctley it is normally £60 per head & you get 3 runs on the rr and a printed data sheet with your bhp & torque figures, but if we get 10 people is down to £30 a head or 5 people its £45.

matty w · Feb 1, 2006

i think everyone would be interested in the new set up nicks got he'll be able to record your car on the rollers and save it to a memory stick plus a detailed graph while its running

LegoHead · Feb 1, 2006

when we all going then?

matty w · Feb 1, 2006

LegoHead · Feb 2, 2006

Ok, I am gonna go down what ever happens, anybody else want to come? Might get a discount for one or more? Will probably be a weekday, hopefully this friday.

wide · Feb 2, 2006
