Rolling Road Day 23rd June....
....... organised by The Volvo 480 UK Facebook page a rolling road day open to all Volvo's and spectators is happening on the 23rd June at Performance Tuning & Remaps in Nuneaton. Should be interesting to see the difference between any modded 480's and also see what the standard NA's are putting out! Please come a long if you can, the more the merrier!
Let me know here if you'd like to attend and I'll pass it on to the FB page (if you are not members)

Re: Rolling Road Day 23rd June....
Rachel, We will be coming and probably bringing both turbos. Al's Paris Blue has a robou mod which is easily turned off so we'd like to get a printout with and without. My white one is (we think) unmoded but performs a lot better than Al's did without the mod. Should be interesting. Do you need reg nos ?
thanks
thanks

Re: Rolling Road Day 23rd June....
Hi Sylvia,
Glad you can both make it, yes it will be very interesting comparing all the engines and mods! No need for reg.

Re: Rolling Road Day 23rd June....
Not sure if I will be able to make this unfortunately, I will have to check; it does sound like a very fun day indeed though!!
I am very curious for the gains on some of the modded turbos; might be a case of sourcing an ECU for our white Turbo, me thinks

Re: Rolling Road Day 23rd June....
Just back from the Rolling Road Day - thanks to Ashley from the FB group who organised it, and Rachel for being the 'middleman', as well as correcting my brain which was convinced it was on Sunday - so glad we didn't drive all that way only to find them closed !
Ade was there with his hardware modded car, sadly his clutch started slipping on the test but he was very happy with the shape of the curve - almost vertical, then quite wide before it went over the cliff.
We were keen to see how Rachel's performed as she also has a Richmod but her car is de-catted. Disappointingly, her clutch slipped even sooner than Ade's.
In the end we only took one turbo, but both mods and the original ecu so we could have 3 runs for straight comparison on the same car. I'll put the details on Lily's Transformation thread.
