Rolling Road-Solihull-6th December

esta · Post by **esta** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 3:21 pm

For a laugh decided to go along with the lads at work to the rolling road in Solihull.

If you fancy tagging along let me know! The guy organising it says the more the merrier-and cheaper!

Price is currently sitting at Ã‚Â£35/car.

Would really love a richmodded 480 to come along and show all my mates how damn good the 480 is!!!

Also any ideas on adding even the tiniest amount of brake to a 2l NA would be SOOOOO useful!

Cant be loosing against stupid fiestas n 106s!!

Saxos shouldn't be a worry; even the VTS has 120bhp, so a standard 480 turbo would be alright.

Buy an eBay "SUPERCHIP" for the day

If only my 480 would start, currently I don't need a RR to tell me it makes 0bhp

LOL what a coincedence! on the same day my 440 with richmod is off to SPAMSPEED Motorsport and going on the dyno, if i had known you where doing this i would of come along, but paid and booked my time with "spam" now (used to work with him sometime ago, and has built many engines for me!)

Also if you want the best out of your 2l give a stage 0 - oil filters ect that should get it running it's best, maybe even consider putting some tesco 99ron super in for the run?

Cheers, Chris.

I could bring my Nissan and see if any three of you combined can match my est 400bhp.

Then you could have a whip round to pay for the return fuel!

Just awaiting the text from the organiser who will confirm times and location-anything else you wanna know?
As I said, Ã‚Â£35 a head, but the more that come the cheaper the deal!

Thansk very much! Can't wait to see you show 'em up!

Yes! Come along! Lets see if all 20 of use can even come close!

Show off!!

Seriously, the more the merrier!! And the faster the better! Someones gotta beat the 200 mark...surely!!!

Well if ill cut you a deal ill post my figures, With a pic of the readout, although tbh it wont be that impressive! turbos always under preform on the dyno, no 70+ mph wind on the intercooler.

Sounds like a plan!! Good luck with it! Cant wait to see results!! Really love the way your car looks btw!

Also, will have a look at oil filters etc, vac the old air filter, top up with old 99RON-or maybe the Optimax? (101 isnt it?

) Cant be getting the lowest score! I keep being told its NOT a race...they just dont understand!!!

And of course purchase a super chip

A decent dyno will have a fan capable of producing a 70+MPH wind.

Nope; just date, time & postcode.

My results are not going to be astonishing! been an auto doesnt help for the power (plus found out today my down pipe has a big hole in it! at least i know why it has a misfire now!)

but it would be nice to see if my new exhaust can convince a couple of ponys extra!

Cheers for the complements on the car, it's been hard work. but it's going to have a better stance soon, it's getting lowered and it also has a laguna front splitter fitted. just need to get a fog light to finish the front off.

hmm i might be wrong then. (seeing as the place im going to usualy play with big US V8's)

Yes, Martin, so all I can get is WHP, which in my view is what really matters.

Cheers, Chris.

I look forwards to knowing it's output!

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 4:51 pm

lol.

Martins quite right...fuel cost there and back would be silly. Full tank of 99.

I'll think about it. If the 480 was on the road i'd be tempted to bring that.

TIME: 9am onwards

LOCATION: B90 4NG

Hope to see some of you there!

I'll be there, Esta, probably about 10 or 11 am (I don't do early). Streetmap tells me that's Drayton Rd.: correct?

Cheers, Chris.
