North East Rolling Road Day

[DaveB]

ROLL UP.........ROLL UP........ROLL UP.........

We want to organise a Rolling Road day lads.

We will be holding it at a new place in Halifax called "The Racing Line". Taken from their website:
Welcome to the Racing line, Yorkshires Premier modification & tuning shop. Where modification madness is just an everyday occurrence. We can do everything from race engines to lambo door kits, you will not be dissapointed. We have performance stage kits for the popular models and these are currently being expanded to cover more & more models later in the year.



Myself and Wazpaz visited The Racing Line today and Wazpaz had a powerun, and mild adjustment of Apexi controller done to his car. The chap that owns it, Matthew, is very knowledgeable and is not a ****er unlike some car tuning place people.

He gave us this letter in regards to a future RR:
The racing line Uk LTd can offer a shoot out days @ £30+VAT per vehicle.

Our dyno operator and assisting staff will talk to the vehicle owners so that we understand their aspirations and if their are any problems with the vehicle.

We hook the car up to the computera and record aquisition data every 2mph interval during acceleration.

At the end of the power run the vehicle owner will receive 2 power graphs. 1 showing wheel to road bhp and torque, and 1 showing flywheel bhp and torque. the owner will also receive acquisition data print out showing: mph, rpm, tractive effort, manifold pressure/vacumm, inlet air temp, air fule ration and lmabda.

After the run we will talk again to the vehicle owner to let them know if there are any problems detected and suggest further modifications to help reach their aspirations.

As opposed to Well Lane Turbo Centre in Batley where we went last year, Racing Line do things properly. They put various sensors on your car showing various pieces of information, as listed in the letter above. Furthermore if they see any problems; running lean etc the run will be halted immediatly before any problems occur. As a FURTHER plus they also use DETcans on the run, something which I've not really seen before at a RR shootout.

Because of the extra information that is received, prices are slightly increased but you are receiving a better service than normal. Prices will be £35 per car.

The printouts you receive are:



You are allowed to use nitrous. The rolling road IS 4wd.

We're hoping to do this towards the end of March. If you interested please put your names down, we will be taking deposits nearer the time. If people fancy April instead, please let us know.

[muppetsport]

place your bets on me

[gatecrasher3]

If mine is rebuilt by then I will stick it on the rollers. Mate of mine wants to put his Subaru on the rollers if we have any places free.

[DaveB]

Any non-vauxhalls are welcome, but must go to the end of queue
