Rolling road day.

Hi,

anyone interested in a rolling road day?

http://www.rt2468abcd.r8technology.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=58655

We where impressed with the apparent accuracy (both mine and Andy's cars where within a couple of bhp of factory figures and a couple of runs backed up the repeatability of the figures) and the owner is a real nice genuine & knowledgeable guy.

I'll even offer to buy a drink for all who manage to beat my torque figure on the day

Cheers

Neil

You have to be there to beat me

but I don't mind buying a few drinks for those of you who can beat the ickle old Golf

G, you seem very confident, you want to buy me a drink if I beat you?

Cheers

a single drink yes.....an all you can drink, god no, i'd be bankrupt.

I know your's is chipped, but i also know factory figures on the v8. If your'e chip hit's that high, i'll be very impressed with the chipping on the diesel

and i'll be there more than likely, need my new exhausts on though. Just got to find some dodgy backstreet company to sort them out for me

Well if I take my coupe then he'll have to drive his golf, so he'll only be allowed 1 beer

I meant he'd be busy buying everyone else beers when his german thing produces less than 300lb/ft torque

Ross9 · Post by **Ross9** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:24 pm

hehe, whats the standard torque on his golf then? before chipping.

and do I really want to drive that far just to see if I can get a free beer or not lol

Ross

GeraintUk · Post by **GeraintUk** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:27 pm

184 lb/ft standard i think which is pretty damn good

Ross9 · Post by **Ross9** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:30 pm

Not to shabby at all

probably 250ish with chipping? Not giving anything away is he lol.

Just get Rob to take an HGV along

even the gutless scania 260 I drive has nearly 1000lb/ft

G,

184 lb/ft standard i think which is pretty damn good

As you're so nice to me G

I will tell you dad's got 262lbft with a 2.5" exhaust & downpipe but standard map.

Cookie

in which case.........mine's a pint of diet coke

262 is a very good figure,,,,is that without a chip ? just downpipe and zorst ?

cookie · Post by **cookie** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 8:39 pm

G,

yep, it's without a map, just a downpipe and 'zorst'

It's got a map which I'm not telling you about

, but it's going to be pushed a bit further with a 'development' one, then there's the possibility of a touch of Laughing gas

, hmm maybe I should tell dad to fit a hybrid turbo and bigger front mount too?

your'e dad is going to be too busy to do all that with paying customers awaiting several pieces of work before this shootout

if where talking about a mk4 tdi golf with chippicng id say tourque will be around 320ish depending on what map and other mods, i know theres a lad in notts with this figure with bassic breathing mods and chipthink its around 212 bhp aswell

Steve · Post by **Steve** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 9:47 pm

Ooh...Neil...Do tell...Missus is about to order an A3 2.0 140

Neil F · Post by **Neil F** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 10:11 pm

Hi Steve,

it's simple enough, they're pretty good engines, they do suffer from tickover till boost as standard but once they get going they're pretty good.

Loosing the restrictive and unnecessary (for MOT anyway) emissions stuff in the downpipe works wonders, then you can start playing with maps, etc. The clutch is the initial limiting factor, but once sorted there's a whole new ball game to be played

Don't get me wrong, they're still low revving plodders but they return suprisingly good performance and excellent economy.

Just ask Andy about our trip down 'souf' with a 'Bling' car in front of us, he thought he'd show us a clean pair of heals through the twisties towards Hastings, I had other ideas and kept with him... we had a big ol car trailer on tow at the time as well

Cheers

Neil

Posted here because not all of you read the Wales events

Hi peeps,

There is a guy over on the MG ZR forum who will be attending and wanted to know if there were other people that were planning on staying over night and if so where they are staying.

Are any of you planning to stay over? If you are but don't want to let everyone know where can you please PM me so I can advise this guy on possible hotels.

Cheers
Clare

Guys

I need to do 3 runs to prove a few things, don't mind paying extra - will this be a problem?

Only need seconds between runs to throw a few switches.

Clare · Post by **Clare** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 11:28 am

Hi Rich,

It shouldn't be a problem tbh. I will speak to the guy on the day. He was really helpful when we took the golf there and let us play about with settings.

On another note.

Can you all please check the other thread and update if you want to come to the bowling so I can start of book some lanes.

Cheers
Clare
