MIG Rolling Road Days ?

Has there ever been a MIG Rolling Road Day ?

I quite fancy sticking my Nova on the Rollers to see how many of the horses she's lost or gained in these past 15 years lol

I'm not the type to organise things like that by phoning etc but would anyone be interested in one ?

I have been told AVA is a good place ?

Suggestions ?

Re: MIG Rolling Road Days ?

dont bother with AVA is my first suggestion lol

Not a fan of theirs, but even that aside their rolling road set up and method is different from anywhere elses and IMO poor. They measure your car at 500rpm intervals under steady state conditions, ie putting a brake on the roller until your engine can't push it any faster, a stalemate between the rollers and the car, at each interval, with the foot flat to the floor. This A - is not representative of how a car goes through its power band on the road, B - puts the engine under max load, C - means the run takes a lot longer than it would on an inertia run (like every other dyno does) so your getting everything hotter and under more strain than it needs to be.

And then you get a power @ wheels figure, no estimated flywheel figure, no torque figure unless you ask for it, and they'll slate everyone else thats ever worked on your car while your at it.

Have had my old car and my missus car on at various intervals years ago and wouldn't go back, not been for years but that was my opinion then and from what I hear nothing has changed.

Always used Dastek for RR days, get a decent service, 2 runs, plenty of info on the car when you get the printout back, wheel bhp, fly bhp, fly torque, Air Fuel ration, boost (if applicable) etc, they cover all the bases I'd want covered on a power run.

Nice one Dastek was also suggested

How much would it be to put a car on the Rollers ?

Surely for a club we could get a discount ?

Re: MIG Rolling Road Days ?

This was the last one - http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/scotl...26th-july.html

there is never usually enough attendees to justify a purley MIG RR day so its usually a joint venture with another forum. I have plans in place along with a regional co-ord from another site to possibly have something again in October but I was awaiting full details from him before posting up.

Regards
Martin

Edit - cant remember the cost last time but we got a tenner off each for more than 15 cars iirc. All the details are in the link above

Re: MIG Rolling Road Days ?

I'd be up for it - I could also post it up on PNG

Is there a limited number of cars allowed ?

i'm not too sure on the details bud but once I have them I will start a thread. looks like there is interest in about 10 people from the other site and im sure we could get the same from here. Any more and it might be a bit of a long dragged out day but I will get details of Max numbers too.

You could just get them all to join on here
