was a very good turnout and some dead nice cars and people there, got a quite a few pics that ill add to the sticky at some point, dont want to put them up with peoples plates on, big thanks to tango delta for arranging the whole thing, just gutted i couldnt stay longer to see some of the older stuff going through, here a pic of mine and the graph, 148 was a surprise !!!

 

Who was the chap in the light blue mk3 escort combi van?

I wasn't at the session, but as I ame out of tesco, he followed my all the way to the Osset duel carriageway (Mad Mile) - I need to know if he smelt the chipshop?

 

smelt the chipshop ?

 

......diesel running on cooking oil

 

Veggie burning diesel

Bri.

 

brilliant day plenty of big power cossies



couldnt help but notice the lack of jap technology

cheers craig

 

i should of ben there today.


did everyone do ok.

 

the fiesta derv??? as soon as we got to the lights behind you in batly we knew and yep we could smell it big time

 

everyone home safe and sound then now?hope so

 

And after checking my data log, I found out why I only got 230bhp, He never held it flat out, I have no idea why

 

So it was you then following me

 

wot did the guy in the anglia van get ?

 

he revved it to 5500

 

101 bhp

 

101 ? that must have been a sickner, must just need setting up

 

He did but not at full throttle

 

me and mates were wondering why he only revved it that far?you got a graph to post up mate?sounded awesome tho pal

 

I will scan it in a bit, I still dont understand it, a 2.0 turbo running 18psi and only 230bhp, Also what got me was the nova had to have 3 lads sat on the front to stop it spinning and only 2 on mine, The last time I went on a RR 3 big lads sat on the front and it still wouldnt stop spinning, I was only running 14psi then too, If I had the money I would go to another RR for a second opinion

By the way, The tapping sound my car started to make is some thing that runs from the AUX drive belt, When we got back we took the belt off and the noise went, The idle pulley and tensioner pulley feel pretty fooked

 

well my brothers t5 showed 260 bhp which was about right bit then others seemed a little off

 

my M3 'vert was more or less bang on std power at 331BHP (338 std) even though the engine management wasnt enjoying the experience and I had to sit on the boot with fat Pete Mcrash!! Who's car made 420 bhp, well done matey

 

cheers skinny scott

 

yep,never mind the saff i want that fezzy,would have followed you a bit further but the 14 cvh got a good tailwind so we managed to overtake,just

 

I was 4 up with all of 40ish bhp

 

why on earth was you in that and in tesco and not there today!!! i could have ate humble pie in person

 

Was in tesco getting hangover cure food and drink - didn't crawl home from a night out untill 4am, so listening to big bore pipes thrashing on the rollers would of been a no-no


And why the humble pies? :P

 

well i think my old saph should go for a second opinion at another rollers

 

had a good day
top job tango
managed a poor 160 mph at 7000 rpm on the way home
the poor old girl loves it

 

Does anyone know how they got a reading of what revs the cars were doing??


lee

 

so do i....then i would have got even more....

 

do u mean, how do the rollers know,when ur not plugged in?????

 

yes... if bhp is a calculation of torque x revs... where did the revs pick up from


By my reconing he was calibrating each run from the cars rev counter

Would explain why Biscuitin got peak torque at around 6500rpm with a T34

 

Yea was a good day - nice to put faces to names/cars etc - i think we should have more meets over the winter weekends even if it's just for a chin wag

 

sounds good to me i'm up for a meet in a pub for some grub and a pint

 

really divn't na how it works....but it does seem strange.... now u'll get the well lane haters... at least u didn't go on and ruin my top score.....

 

cant have been that powerful, didnt see you lose YOUR sunroof did we

Sarah

 

Well i dunno how they do it - but i'm sure if you book in for a proper setup it would be a more advanced procedure than today - after all we had 26 cars to get through & although i'm sure well Lane made a tidy profit today it's only thanks to Ian & Barry who work there days off to allow the RR days to happen.

 

way tooo fast for u....if i was behind ya i'd ov caught the fucker for ya....

 

cheers to the well lane boys....but i bet they got their pockets lined

 

well you will have to try and resist the urge to drive like youve nicked it if we go anywhere else with you

 

sorry...i've got a heavy fuuuuuuttttt
