Gauging Interest

[Mikey Jay]

Right, just thought I'd guage interest for a Kent/South East Rolling Road Day.

Thinking of a Saturday/Sunday in January or February.

The company is Rapid Chariots - http://www.rapidchariots.co.uk/index.htm

who are based near Canterbury, and can provide group sessions for reasonable money

The prices are as follows:

5-10 cars : £35 per car

10+ cars : £30 per car

For this price you get two power runs, and a printout showing both runs.

On this printout you will have details of bhp, torque, air/fuel ratio and on turbo cars, it will also show the level of boost.

Would anyone be interested?

do it after January 15th and I'll come - I needed to get some Dyno tuning done, suppose I can use this oppurtunity

[Mikey Jay]

That's fine, thinking it'll be more towards February anyhoos.

Do you need actual tuning done rather than just a power reading?

[riko666]

a little twiddling on the FPR

[joe-ep91]

Im intrigued. Dont know much bout rolling roads tho

[Mikey Jay]

Not much to know really, you go on them, and they tell you how powerful your car is (a simple summary)

[Sparky]

Do it on the Feb 9th meet

[Mikey Jay]

Was discussing this earlier.

As could do the RR session during the afternoon, then all convoy up to Bluewater (as is off the same motorway as Bluewater, so a nice easy trip), have a bite to eat, then participate in the meet.

You up for getting your car rolling roaded then Sparky?

[NightSpirit]

Are they a rolling road...old school or dynapak?

[Mikey Jay]

Not really sure on the difference.

Here's their thingymajig:

[StarletRick]

ill go after mine is all sexualed up

[NightSpirit]

ah ok,

I guess it's just personal preference, I prefer the dynapack style computer controlled RR to the old water/weight resistance RR where you strap the car down...they always seem to work harder

Here's a vid of my old SW20 blowing a coolant hose at 155.3mph on the ChipWizards dyno oop north. Incidentally, the car hit 380hp when the hose blew...arse.

[Mikey Jay]

Haven't tried either personally, so don't have a preference

[JAG]

Sounds like fun

My cars gna get destroyed by the levinator aswell as everyone else who goes

but never the less im up for it

[Mikey Jay]

Levinator, that's genious

Would be interesting to see an n/a Starlet rolling roaded though, as not many guys seem to get theirs done

Right, that's potentially 5 or 6 people interested

Keep the interest coming, and then I'll get it properly organised

[NightSpirit]

I'll take on the Levinator

[riko666]

I'll take on Night's Spirit (giggedy)

I prefer the Dynapacks, not that I've used them, but they are reputed to be more accurate in their measurements

[Mikey Jay]

I'll take on the Levinator

You'll completely pwn me

[Bourkey]

Hmmm. I could be interested i this if my 4EFTE is sorted in time for this. Would be good to check it is running sweet after it's rebuild.

I don't want to say definatley because i don't want to let you down but i am interested. I'll give you a more accurate answer nearer the time.

P.S. Would be cool as i've never been to a RR before ever.

[paul w]

I'll take on the Levinator

Me too

Bring it on mikey boy

[Sparky]

Im up for going Mikey but I dont think my car will budge the rollers

I will just stand and watch

[Rich]

I could come to this, see what the old rolla mani does for the engine, I'm also thinking about going to the bluewater meet this time, should have it lowered and some wheels on it by then so will be worth coming to the meet and not having to park at say the M&S car park and walking over

[Joey]

Wow, interest from far afield

Think it's logical now to do it on the same day as the Bluewater meet (9th Feb) then the guys from further away get the RR sessions and then a meal and a meet in the evening

Do people agree?

EDIT: Forgot to sign out of Jo's account, tis actually Mikey Jay here

[Mikey Jay]

Sorry, that was me ^^^

[Sparky]

Thats a plan mate

Meal sounds good
