Hi All

Who is interested in a group rolling road/power figure day in Hawarden? I have a date of Sat August 22nd pencilled in and I want to confirm some definite figures with the place next week, he can take approx 15 cars between 9am and 2pm, but a lot of the time scale depends on how easy the cars are to secure down.

They are a good couple of blokes on the manor industrial estate running A + B garage (post code CH5 3QX, a long established garage with an excellent reputation for working on real cars.

I was there a few weeks ago and the guy was saying that rally boys are bringing cars from mid wales to have their cars set up on their rolling road. He told me they set up a 1300 bdh engine there that rattled everything off the shelves!

The place doesnt look very modern but the rolling road is apparently accurate, but more importantly the guys know all about old Fords. He will be able to do power runs for £25, its got to be worth that to know your car is running safe and I'm sure they could give some advice about mods, improvements etc. You can tell the guys how far you want the car revving and your car wont be put through something you dont want doing. I will put up a list of do's and donts and a list of pre start checks.

Let me know what you think. I've no connection with the place or any vested interests, the mini addicts forum have had rolling road days there in the past, maybe I can get classic ford or retro ford to come along? A £10 (non refundable but transferable)deposit by pay pal will secure a place.

I will put a list of confirmed names on here for the date. Its 2wd only Im afraid.

Cheers

Wayne

Why???? you would be proud of nearly 600ft-lb from a stage 3 saff. Get that fueling sorted & its over 700ft-lb I guess. All that effort on mine to get Torque & this stage 3 had it years ago .

Although this is a rather old thread the torques figures do seem a little high
