Ive voted Yes, ill be up for it... checked the dates and the only events i can go to are santa pod and gaydon - so i voted for both of them! Not bothered which one!

 

[gaz.d]

i will ask for the poll to be closed on march 17th, so keep on voting

 

[Oldschool]

Out ot 14,469 members we have only 12 that are interested?

Where are all the people who wanted to know what power they have got?

All the people who were claiming power figures have gone quite silent. Come on guys you can proove it now!

 

[dave]

some have only clicked where they forgot to also click Yes - Interested

 

[serin]

how much will it cost (ball park) to have a go?

 

[gaz.d]

the hire of the rolling road is expensive, it needs 30 cars to cover the cost of that, hiring of the space from auto-italia costs too

whilst speaking to peter the cost would be around the £36 mark, even then it will be running at a loss - no-one wants to make money from this, just thought it would be a great chance to see what each car is running, bringing it to an event that attracts alot of interest in the forum would be a bonus. Shame it doesnt look like this is going to happen without the interest

Is it worth organising a RR day at another place??

 

[dave]

lets open it up to others as well then? put a post on clubcento?

 

[1.8Stilo]

i thin santa pod would be a good un as there would be loads otha cars there that would have i ago! Well imagion anyway! Santa pod is all about power, 0-60 times,etc....

Does the mobile rolling road have a sodding great big fan with it to blow into the front of the car?

dunno but mot places dont either and they are indoors, heard of a few headgaskets going during mots from cars being left running too long

 

[HP]

For me, no fan = feck right off.

edit: MOT places are totally different. On a rolling road you're looking at putting the engine to maximum power and maximum revs on possibly several occasions for an appreciable amount of time, on an MOT they let it tick over and give it a quick blip for testing.

My cinq turbo (with previous owner) was run on the rollers at Stanford Hall with no fan, it got bloody hot.

 

[dave]

if its at stanford or gaydon and weather is like last year, wont need no fan

 

[HP]

You need air flowing across the radiator when it's on a rolling road, whether it's hot or not.

You mustn't run it up when the engine isn't at operating temps or you risk damage, and when you're pushing 100bhp (more for most other owners) into the rollers you need to have the heat going somewhere.

 

[dave]

we sit gaz in front an tell him to blow

 

[serin]

or feed him beans and point him backwards :chin:

should provide more than adequate airflow

just make sure the car has its air on recirculate

No, it has got 2 fans.

 

[HP]

Good news indeed then
