just found a place literally 4 miles from me mini specialists they got a 500 hp hofman dynatest rolling road. said they got a big fan and can do a power run of my car as long as theres a couple of people to sit on the boot

 

wheres that mate ive never known and i live in st neots????

 

gt staughton. is that ben h ???????????

my mate tommy b works there

 

is he the one who does the rollers ?

 

not sure aint really seen him since the r/r was put in

just pop down and ask

 

how long they had the rollers there mate ?

 

i would say about a year

a few of my mates have had power runs done seem to find it fine

r/r seem's to be spot on

 

If you need to have people sitting in the boot i wouldnt bother......

 

bloody ell, i drive through there everyday, never knew they had a rolling road, what a unusual place

 

na ben a !!! got a series 1 cabriolet in white?? so you got burners old cos then ??

 

Burners Saph lives on !

What happened to the last engine ? or was it sold with Burners well known curse !

 

still about everything was brand new minus the box and thats why he got rid of it still about billings has got it last time i heard or see him

 

Yeh I did see it up Glyns earlier this year, think it was having a new turbo iirc.

Which Saph has Scooby Slayer got then ?

 

i put new box on, springs, glyn done headgasket, and i put a to4e on it. she broke her back shes scrapped now traded it in for my new toy. check the posts in general discussion and the pictures of new car will be in there

 

it was burners scrapped that now and got a new one.

 

Your new one isn't white is it ?

 

she is. post is in general discussion now with pics if ya wana see it. you from st neots way aswell ?

 

I ran a business from there a few years ago, I know a lot of the locals and use Glyn for engines and shell fabrication.

I had a orange mk2 if you remember it

Will check out your pics now

 

people in the boot will compress the suspension - on a sierra this means LESS contact patch on the rollers. not ideal

 

im not sure mate. just he said sometimes big power 2wd cossies spin on the rollers and need a bit of weight in the back.

 

have any of ur mates ran cossies on his rollers ?

 

might find out what they are like wouldnt mind getting the st on there see what its like ?? where are they ?????

 

moor road, great staughton i will go as long as i know there not gona destroy my car with a crappy fan or something

i would also like to know if there cooling is adequate for a cosworth

 

Wow....

First thing guys we have 3 fans in house a real large one and two smaller fans,normally used on the lotus intercoolers that we map with the 1.8T vw engine.

The guy in charge has mapped cars for years and has actully worked at COSWORTH on the F1 engine they once had.

If you have loads of questions, just pop down and have a look for your self,if its not for you, so be it.

We did have a cossie powered mk2 escort on the rollers last year, that made 350 @ the fly.That bad part was he rolled it on the way home due to the new found power.

We are also in the stages of parts collecting for a turbo new mini which we are hoping to make close on 500 hp .

Any questions call 01234 376089

 

you got my pm then mate
