Surrey Rolling Road take 2 - gauging interest - toxo - 21-10-2017
Hi!
Over on IMOC Dave and myself are discussing a second trip to Surrey Rolling Road at the start of next year (probably late Feb at this rate). I know we had a few guys from OJC come along last year and now we have even more members so I thought I'd extend the invitation again! Hopefully Steve's IS200 can make an appearance too
I think after Wozza's efforts last time we will have to say no auto boxes unless they can be locked in gear though :crying:
What do people think, anyone interested?

Yeah, put my name down, especially since it's just down the road from me ! Maybe I'll have done something else to my car since I've had it back, e.g. change the exhaust ?
There are plenty of nice pubs around the area, if anyone doesn't want to hang around the rolling road all day :biggrin:

Not quite
The problem is that you can't lock the IS200 auto box in a particular gear. So just when you start getting near peak power it changes, and if you kickdown you get a very weird dyno reading. They tried several kickdown attempts with Wozza's car but to no avail. I think it reported 3bhp more than Steve's N/A IS200 in the end, or something similar.

Or you can just show off your shiny new engine
To be honest it took us a long time to get through everyone's cars last time, and we had a few people getting work done by Ryan from 2bar as well so there wasn't an easy period of the day where we could all nip to the pub for lunch. However I know Gord especially travelled a long way for the last trip, and having a rest break to sit down and chill might be a good idea for a smaller group of us at least.

Yeah I don't mind bringing my car just to show it off, hopefully I'll have something to show off by then ! Won't be a new engine though :wink:
You could always try and schedule the runs in a couple of groups, so people could pop along to a nearby pub or cafe (there's a cafe where Gord had breakfast not far away) rather than hang around all day and be deafened. Of course, if peeps want to be deafened ...

OK OK new engine build
Pedant!They were in groups on the last trip, but some people messed it up by turning up late (whoopsie! :blushing
and us not being aware of who was doing power runs and who was mapping - that'll be sorted out this time so that we can leave Ryan to do his thing.If Ant's red MK2 turbo goes again then I'm quite happy to be deafened with a big grin on my face while it makes 450+ bhp
I will update this thread once I have some more definite information on dates, numbers and costs.
