Cheers mate...it just makes it a bit better if there's 15 (said between 10 and 20...so 15 seems good medium).

 

[wocka]

Hmmm, I shall have a word with my mate, see if I can get him to bring his cerbera along, out with him Friday night, if I ply him with enough beers he might agree.

Beautiful motors...If you can get him out...that would be awesome, but I can see myself leering over the car all morning!

 

[rob_sri]

awhhhhhh!!! im going to curbourgh sprint track on saturday! gutted I really want to get mine on the RR too but its the last race meet of the season too

next time!!!

 

[JonnyGee]

Oooo new wheels

7.30 at mine then guys. Ant will b there aswel

yeah im on for that,pm where u live please and mine is 1 sugar and milky:slap:

 

[wocka]

Just looks on maps on my fone and from my house is 30 mins from the services were meeting at so leave at 7.40 to b safe so if the ppl meeting at mine wana b latest 7.30 so were not rushing then just txt me wen ur on ur way

See u all tomorow

 

[Don]

Right, just so everyone is aware...

Meeting point (for those not local to Viezu) is Frankley Services South (between J3 and J4 on the M5 South) between 08:15 and 08:30 and looking to leave Frankley at 08:30 to try and get to Viezu for before 09:00 for a 9am start.

I will be up before 6am as I'll be cheering the Irish lads on in the Ireland V Wales rugby match which kicks off at 6...is 2* 40 mins with 10 minute half time...so should be around 07:30 - 07:40 when I leave my house...meeting Josh @ McDonalds in Donnington Wood (Telford) and we're going straight to Frankley from there. If I arrive a few mins late, I will apologise beforehand...but suffice to say, I will DEFINITELY be there.

I've confirmed it all with Paul @ Viezu and its good to go at 09:00.

Remember the price is £35 for the run, if you've paid me a deposit, I will give you the tenner (or take the £25 back) depending on whether they want me to pay per person or as one transaction.

Looking forwards to catching up and seeing everyone tomorrow...I am unsure about what to do afterwards as the weather is looking a bit shitty! but we can decide between us all...we just need to get pics and videos done during the day.

 

[Johndolan1979]

Good thing about the weather being shitty tomorrow is that hopefully no one will notice that I haven't cleaned my car for about 4 weeks. Little worried about mine going on the rollers now, gave it abit of stick on the way home and I seam to have devoleped a very noticeable flat spot at around 5000rpm, hummm we'll she how she does tomorrow.

 

[wocka]

I washed mine tonite i also have a flat spot low end, pisses me off alot, o wel im going to see the rs tuning boys nxt year

 

[davo172]

Will be at frankley for 8.15 ish . Hope its not p***ing down

 

[wocka]

Yeah i know, cba with the rain

 

[Don]

If there is a noticeable flat spot...then see what Viezu say as if there is something they can advise...it might help.

PS. I work by a building site, car is dirty as hell (as didn't wash her last week) and wheels are caked in crap...so might not get a good wheel shot of mine.

Will see what videos I can get on the S2 tomorrow (8mp...so shouldn't be too bad)

 

[wocka]

Im bringin my camera aswel, i have a 14.1 mega pixel camera with hd vid so will get some good shot

My flat spot is wel noticble, say between 1-2 grand, its horible so yeah see what they say, i dont expect big figure anyway but fingers crossed

 

[MartinR]

just cleaned mine needed doing it was a right mess, i have a fujifilm s3200 camera have not got a clue onhow to take perfect picture but shall bring it along and get some snaps,

 

[wocka]

Will get some good piccies by the look of things

 

[Don]

Its not about the kit being used...its about people like me remembering to take some (normally forget then think Oops!) hehehe

[Cerrone]

Well I decided to try and change my plugs after work tonite.... Get to the plugs in the dark and I didn't have a deep enough socket!!!! Let down haha managed to put it all back ok in the dark so see how she runs!!!

 

[Gt rob]

take lots of pics, and do a decent write up for me, gutted im missing it. i wanna know what cars push what power with what mods (geek like that)

Good luck fellas, and dont forget to check tyre pressures (32 psi front) to make it fair for everyone. and make sure youve all got no leaks and oil levels ok

 

[Gt rob]

Good Luck

 

[davo172]

Anyone brave enough too say what they think it will make ?
Just hoping mine don't blow up !

Not me...hehehe

Place I went to last year turned around to us all and said "I blow up one car a month doing this...we're 3 weeks into the month and haven't managed to kill one yet"

Poor Dave shat himself with his car first up!

 

[MartinR]

^^^^^flol, i will be happy with around 160 - 165.

 

[MartinR]

bit of a numpty question but what do they do? take it to the top end of 3rd or 4th i haven't a clue!

 

[Don]

Its normally 4th I think, then just floor it and see the car's power output through the rev range (obviously not as crude as that!)...the graph will show you how it responds at certain revs and where there are any weak spots in performance. They've had Ferraris and Astons in there...so they should be ok with a few Clios! :rasp:

cheers donny

is any one fitting that bucket mod to see the gains??? :rofl:

only joking

 

[Adam G]

Have a good time everybody, some of us have to work unfortunately.

 

[Don]

Well, here's hoping for more accuracy than the last one I went to...reckoned I had 192 ATF...Bollox! Also, after another lad's 172 had run, there was smouldering at the back of his engine bay, so having no water...one of the lads drenched the smouldering part in orange squash! (He said he had a lovely trip home!)

According to calculations...Don - 163.5WHP - FLYWHEEL 192 BHP (Not a chance!)

Here are some pics from my last RR with the 182, the 172 smoking...and an old pic of the 172Cup on the rollers from about 3 or 4 years ago!






Leave the best pic till last! RIP L'il Blue Bullet! :race:

 

[Cerrone]

Well my insurance only covers me up to 190bhp at the fly wheel so any think below that and I'm all good!!!

 

[Mr Burns]

Might pop down to watch, was going to run my car but a bit late now I guess. I'll see what the missus is upto!
