South West RR Day



Dan

  172 track thingy
tbh im gonna turn up but not go on the RR just to see what happens at these things and meet up with a few of the south west lot again, if i put it on the RR i would just end up spending money trying to change my numbers for the next time lol

My only objection really is that Roche is a b**ch to me personally to get to, so I probably wouldnt bother going all that way just for 5 mins on the dyno but that'll be an issue to someone wherever you do it and at least at Celtic its good for the devon and cornwall members.
 
I have heard stories from Celtic....one f**ked mk5 golf GTI. Refusing to let low cars on etc. But I haven't actually heard of any dynos in Devon or Cornwall that have 100% records

And a 306 dyno graph

Much rather go to AJs for RR day. Yes he's had his issues for work to cars but not heard of any rr horror stories?

AP or whatever its called is well known for not caring about peoples cars (I've been to rr days there and witnessed doors constantly being open onto stuff by operators)
Celtic as above
AJ as with the rest of the thread
RK - Seriously over ran for my 182 and probably a bit far for some members.

Not sure what else is left?

As above, with everything I've heard about AJ, you couldn't pay me to touch that place with an extra long extendable bargepole.

How he still gets business is beyond me. But that's just my opinion, I guess they couldn't find a way to break anything at a RR day, but if anyone could it'd be AJ.

I agree with you 100% on this

lets nip this in the bud before it fill up 10 pages - This RR day will not be held at AJs due to multiple vito's. Please dont not post how bad AJs are or that you dont want to go there as its effectivly a wasted post.

I think we can put that to bed now tbh.

Lol still waiting to hear reasons :p (i dont care, just intrigued). He honed a couple of my engine blocks and hot tanked them, did a decent job, his workshop is pretty cool!

Does it actually need to be anymore than just people not liking the bloke that runs it and hence not wanting to give him their cash? lol

No it doesn't so it shall end here,

Also I have been given other ideas of places.

It mainly deals with classic and new race cars so low cars won't be a problem, but the dyno only reads to 270bhp, but with it being race car orientated it should be more precise no?

I know maybe 1 or 2 turbo/s-charged guys might be reaching its limits here but I think it would be good for the majority working at under that level.

Let us know what you think about this place.

I know quite a few people who have used them for car preperation and really rate their professionalism and service etc, Ive no idea if the rollers are accurate or not, but Im up for it if we go there.

rollers reading to a max of 270 will make it interesting as hopefully I can max them on the turbo, bet they wont expect a clio to do that, FLOL

Great stuff :) I will get onto them then.

I would love to see a Clio max out there rollers! It would make for great viewing lol

Looking at there pictures hight of the car won't be a problem as they have plenty of lotus's on there.

Tipton is a very good professional place. I've had head work done on my corsa. Ill be up for putting mine on there rollers

Just spoke to them, they seem really up for us to come and have a day there as they really want to open up to the Clio market.

They supply 2 wheel drive runs.

It's going to be in February (waiting for them to confirm when they have a day for us as its going to be a Cliosport.net only day :) )

It's going to be about £20 for a power run.

They also set the target of maxing out there rollers which is set at 240BHP at the wheels, anyone think they can do it?

thanks for picking this up Dan, I will leave it in your capable hands now as you seem to be on the ball :) I will put my name down on your new thread once its up :) Also I see Emma is part-arranging a RR with another forum?

Ps
Can I be selfish and suggest 16th or 17th march as its about the only weekend in the next couple of months that me and Lesley can make.

No worries if it can't be then if it doesn't suit others. But it's worth a try!

I think most of us want to see what your car produces on the rollers and hear the beast roar (know I would like to anyway) :) I'm happy with the 16/17th march if its possible.

Seems fine to me. I'd like to see whether mine can break the magic 50bhp mark, or in fact even turn the rollers, so I'll stick myself down as a reserve - I'm not going to get in the way of someone rollering a 1*2 so that everyone can see a 1.2.

If march is a better time for people I shall move it back a month and put a more localised meet in February instead to fill the gap.

Is march the 16th a good date for the majority of people? (Has to be a Saturday as I don't think they are open on Sundays but will find out 2moz)

Would be worth £20 just to watch and laugh mate, might want to adjust the gearing in the hamster wheel for it :clown:

Sounds good with me :approve:
 

Dan

I'm also hoping there will be some classic and new race cars left out for us to poke about in :)

Should be good for some pictures :)

Definitely up for putting mine on, I've been contemplating it for 4 years now... And for £20 it'd be rude not to!

Dont worry about only having a 1.2 mate, if you want a spot on the rollers the list will be first come first serve and if it came down to it and we had one car over on the allowed amount I will pull myself out as I am organising it for you guys.
