I Shall let Don answer but i think there is only a reserves list now as all the 20 places are booked..
182 & LY Clio 220 ed
We have 20 places already filled and currently 2 reserve places. If you want to be on reserve list in case anyone fails to make it or something turns up that they cant make it...then you will have to pay the full amount on the day. We've agreed 20 runners...but they might let us run a couple more but cant promise...
Just spoken to Kelly @ Viezu...we can do up to 23 if you want to run. Cant do more than that due to time constraints.

Ahh, yeah I'll go on the reserve list then & see what happens on the day
Thanks for the replies Don + martin!
You dont need to...as we can have up to 23 runners (more will be at their discretion)...will pm you my paypal addy when I'm back on pc as its £10 deposit with the remaining £20 to be paid to Viezu on the day.
Will update list and contact the other 2 (Josh and Leon) to see if they still want to run.
Can we find out if Viezu have any advice on the best way to set the car up for a more accurate reading?
I know there are factors that'll alter the result, clean air filters, tyre condition & pressures etc.
Obviously we should all check tyre pressures that morning,
but is there a difference between accurate tyre pressures on the road in relation to the rollers?
Should tyre pressures be altered to compensate for the rollers, or do we keep them the same?
Or are these silly & pointless questions?

Good points there Dave. I would like to know this also.
I think Fred was going to come along too. If one of the two on the reserve list can't make it perhaps ask Fred if he is running?

Have you had a look on the net? As I'm sure there will be something somewhere about...

We are good for 23 as they need to have enough time and staff (and food!!!) If I can see if the people wanting on reserve list want to run...then they have places first (only fair) but if they don't want to run, then there will be a place...bear with me while I see what Harrybanjo, Josh and Leon want to do.
Ok no problem Pheonix Tits,
i'll do some research instead. :approve:

You leave my tits alone!!!
I can ask if that would help...but probably a whole load easier to use Google...

I've been searching and it seems there's lots of ways to cheat to create better results which is pointless tbh,
basically the best thing to do is clean and change things as much as you can.
Clean filter,
new or young oil,
normal tyre pressures,
(over inflated tyres will give higher/artificial readings, waste of time seeing as you'll put them back to normal to drive it home)
apparently it's not a good idea to let the car idle for too long before your run either,
all toys off, AC, auto lights etc,
run in 3rd gear.
That's all i've learnt so far, but i'm sure they'll have some advice for us on the day.
182 & LY Clio 220 ed
I knew about ac and lights, etc...as 172Cups used to have better figures than equivalent 172 & 182s which had ac, etc. It will take more power as its trying to run the other stuff while its being done.
I need to get new oil as mine is running a bit low. Filter is clean and was reoiled a couple of months ago.

I'll be cleaning and re-oiling my filter in the coming weeks and cleaning the throttle body,
might change the oil aswell it's almost a year since it was done,
now I just have to figure out how to switch my auto lights off.

Dave turn your lights on and off a few times and if i remember correctly you will hear a beep when they are disarmed!!
Nice one mate, i'll give that a go tomorrow.

This is what i do but i have a mild case of OCD lol
1.Tyre pressures
2.tyre condition
3.tracking spot on (some RR refuse cars that wander severely)
4. wheels balanced with no severe steering wheel wobble (some RR refuse cars that wander severely)
5.fresh oil and filter
6.coolant level (preferably newish coolant)
7. correct gearbox oil level (new oil if not changed for a while)
8.check for exhaust leaks
9.clean throttle body
10.clean and re-oil air filter
11. decent fuel but no good putting super in if you run normal stuff as it won't make any difference tbh
12.general running condition of engine (hitting the limiter in 4th has alot of strain on old tired parts and they will show)
There is loads more but that is all i can think off the top of my head.

Mines going to go bang. I've got to do all the above. Most of all I need to sort fluids out. And I can imagine some problems arising afterwards. Ah well. It's the price you pay to find out results.
I doubt it mate, surely it's just a flat out blast to the limiter in 3rd?
I'm sure we all boot it in at least one gear when we get the chance, can't see a rr day being any different to a good boot full?

They bop it in 4th and floor it to see the power when accelerating, then when decelerating that is also where they get figures from.
I've done 2 in the 182 and did 5 or 6 in the 172Cup. If your car is in good health, then it should be fine. The first time you run your car...you will s**t yourself worrying...but its fine.

Yep 4th gear is correct if they feel something is not right they back out anyway plus they have a computer plugged to the car taking constant readings of everything. so not to worry and tbh those things i listed is what i do... it doesn't mean you need to do the same your cars won't blow up lol
we shall leave the blowing up to my brother in his subaru :rasp:

Why do people worry so much? I'd hate to jynx it but surely just going up to the limiter is a common occurance anyway?

I might bring my 172 to this...
When are you picking it up Tom?
