Rolling road day, Wakefield 25/11/12. Anyone fancy it?

[foammanmark]

A few of us have provisionally booked the above, at £40 per car based on 10 attending. Could be less if there are 15-20 of us, but we need to finalize numbers by the end of next week please.

Anyone interested, please let me know through this thread.

Great, wait to hear from you and I hope that you can make it!

Brilliant! Keep you posted when we've confirmed everything. I believe that the place is Normanton, near Wakefield.

[foammanmark]

i hope you have checked they can take 4wd cars mate

The thought never crossed my mind, until someone asked the same question. Checked it out, and it's a 4wd set up thanks for asking!

[shepbomb]

Great, wait to hear from you and I hope that you can make it!

So do I is it MAS Performance by any chance, I've heard good things about the set up at that place

[claymore]

I might be up for it, depending on how this weekend goes.

That'll be the one! Alright for you Yorkshire boys eh? It'll be 70-80 miles each way for me, but I'm really looking forward to it as I've not done one before.

122 miles each way for me.

This rolling road goes nowhere as your car has wheels removed- hub dyno!

[foammanmark]

122 miles each way for me.

Hope you can make it. Wait to hear from you after this weekend.

Sorry Frankie, what do you mean? My car putting less down than I'd like to think or the general day itself?

[T5frankie]

no the days are good, i love rolling road day, tempted to come myself, ok tell me what power you think your car has

[foammanmark]

no the days are good, i love rolling road day, tempted to come myself, ok tell me what power you think your car has

I've no idea really, but I'd hope to putting down 250-270?

[T5frankie]

I've no idea really, but I'd hope to putting down 250-270?

oh ok i thought you thought it had alot more, its harder to do autos on a dyno as well

[foammanmark]

oh ok i thought you thought it had alot more, its harder to do autos on a dyno as well

No, that's why I'd like to do it and see what she puts down and compare it to the others. Even thought it's got the BSR Stage 2 map and supposedly puts out 300'ish, I realise what's actually going down will be a fair bit less. She's not too well at the moment due to an oxygen sensor going, so my mpg is crap and I need to sort it quick.

[foammanmark]

Will do.

[zoidberg]

Think I'll have a drive over to watch, or if short on numbers join in.
Then you'll see what REAL POWER is all about when the 'Screaming D'eagle' , more commonly known as a Kangoo Diesel, gets on them there rollers !!:wiggle:

[WOODY T5]

no the days are good, i love rolling road day, tempted to come myself, ok tell me what power you think your car hasLol how much as yours got frankie

[T5frankie]

Lol how much as yours got frankie

about 320bhp estimate

[JamesT5]

What happens on the rolling road, is it a bit like a tread mill for a car...?

[WOODY T5]

about 320bhp estimateshould be that mate if not more?

[T5frankie]

should be that mate if not more?

thats why i need a different map for bigger injectors

[T5frankie]

What happens on the rolling road, is it a bit like a tread mill for a car...?

alot of noise, drama and biting of nails lol

[WOODY T5]

will be looking for more then 320 from my car then

[JamesT5]

Can you take your car to its top speed without getting a speeding ticket or crashing it through the workshop walls?

[T5frankie]

Can you take your car to its top speed without getting a speeding ticket or crashing it through the workshop walls?

they do max speed in 4th, you won't believe how much noise your car actually makes at those speeds

[T5frankie]

will be looking for more then 320 from my car then

i think yours is running around 370bhp, got to be with your times

[WOODY T5]

hope so would be well help with that;-)

[JamesT5]

they do max speed in 4th, you won't believe how much noise your car actually makes at those speeds

So that would be about 130mph (+/- 10%)? As for the noise, I can imagine that a 5 cylinder lump will probably have the spectators running for their ear defenders at that speed... ;-)

not me mate love it, mine is very loud, my 4th gear is about 110mph

[JamesT5]

not me mate love it, mine is very loud, my 4th gear is about 110mph

MRP claims his ex-plod does 135 in 4th!

[p fandango]

not me mate love it, mine is very loud, my 4th gear is about 110mph
so on a good run on the 1/4mile you'll be needing 5th gear :smirk:

[p fandango]

MRP claims his ex-plod does 135 in 4th!
it will, with my new box mine's got a theoretical top speed of 155mph in 4th (& thats at stock 6500rpm rev-limit lol)

[munster732]

Go on then, my curiosity has got the best of me, any spare places left?

[T5frankie]

so on a good run on the 1/4mile you'll be needing 5th gear :smirk:

lol ask woody he has the same box but he gets to those speeds whereas i don't lol

[WOODY T5]

[T5frankie]

168 on a private to @ 6.5k plus sat nav

Nice one, it would be good to see you again. I'll try and confirm details later.

[T5frankie]

I might bring the s70r if I can Nick my ecu back just for the run?

[foammanmark]

I might bring the s70r if I can Nick my ecu back just for the run?

I think a bacon butty and a cup of coffee would seal that deal. Only messing, we can swap the ecu for a run, no probs! So are you going to come then please?

[T5frankie]

I'm pleased to say that this RR day is still on. Now even if I can't make it, I really don't mind coordinating things with Nosh who is the guy that's actually booked the day. We're still asking for a £5.00 deposit please for those whom intend to go. So far, just Claymore has paid on here as it's a 'cross forum' day with peeps from T5D5 and VT. Please PM me for my e-mail address to make the payment through Paypal.

Just waiting for my mrs to get Home as I need to find out what time she's back from a night out the day before the RR day. I don't want to end up bringing my kids as they will be bored and very annoying for all of us. If I can make it with the map, will that sway you to come?
