Rolling Road Day

[sikelsh]

EVENT NOW FULL

I have a new date, new price and a new location!

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ.

There are a couple of rules

Rule 1) Only the Owner can be in the garage with the car when the run is taking place.
Rule 2) A Maximum of 10 Cars, so this event is now limited, so anyone holding off, get your name in.

Location is:
Autotronix Developments
School Road,

Price:
£20.00 + VAT

We need a minimum of 5 cars but can have a max of 10

Please please only confirm if you are coming, I am aware it clashes with the classic car show, but its the cheapest available date I can find.

Clive will do the runs, and provide a print out and analyse exhaust gases and provide advice.

Thanks

Simon

EVENT DISCLAIMER

Please be aware this is not an official 75 & ZT Owners Club meet and as such is not covered by the Club’s public liability insurance. Also the Owners Club take no responsibility for the meet in any way.

[Hodgy]

I could be tempted if enough interest:D

[Canonite]

Yep, i'd be up for that. I'd be interested to what my ZT is throwing out after the 177 upgrade, Longlife SS and induction. Plus what it's lost over the last 10yrs ;)

It could be worth a phonecall to see what sort of price they do it for, how many cars can be done in the day etc to work out individual prices etc.
It might be worth organising a social meet there as it might get boring waiting all day for your slot on the dyno. There are two car parks next to the garage but not sure who owns them so someone would have to make a few phonecalls, liase with M-Tec and seek permission from the landowner for use of the car parks.

[Raynor]

I could be interested - depending on when it is and how much :)

[sikelsh]

Sounds like a volunteer to me :D

I am truely rubbish at organising :o :getmecoat:

[McLaren]

I would be up for it:}

[YIM YAM]

Count me in, price depending,:drool4::drool4:

[v-man]

I know it might be a bit of a drive for some, but there is a place in Hinckley that specialise in dyno runs.

£30 per car for two runs, regardless of how many turn up on the day and they will open on Sundays too.

http://www.dynodaze.com/

[James.uk]

Barnsley not far.. :}

I'm up for it.. They can test my car as well.. :D
...

[sikelsh]

I have asked the Barnsley place what the availability is for the 6th or 7th of October.

September is out for me, too much going on, Family Spanner, Kids going to Uni and Caravans to move.

Will see if they come back.

Simon

[andy willi]

put me up for this please

andy

[Tatts]

Reight. If tha all cummin oo'er t'Tarn fer one of them dynamo runs, ahl be there.

Although Wonbwell isn't strictly Barnsley, so I can stop talking like that.

[pab]

Sounds interesting,count me in. ;)

[sikelsh]

Ok, not doing so great with the company listed on page one, so here's an alternative.

Saturday 6th October
www.g-rperformance.co.uk
Location: Mexborough/Swinton
Postcode: S64 8BH (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=S64+0BH&ie=UTF-8&hl=en)

Normal Price is £55.00, our price is £35.00 for 2 back to back runs of your car, he does Flywheel and Wheel HP testing

Or we can pay £40 per car including a BBQ and Drinks

The price is based on 10 cars he can do a maximum of 15 cars in a day.

I need a firm commitment to this, anyone who says they cannot come, even after committing, will still have to pay.

There will be some waiting around I would think, so suggest that we draw straws for who goes first etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Simon

[Unclefista]

Edit: never mind,I eventually read the post properly :)

[James.uk]

Hmmm. I think I will try to find somewhere nearer.. but thank you for your efforts.. :)

[McLaren]

Sorry can not make as am out of the uk.

Seems expensive as per this (http://www.rsownersclub.co.uk/rsocbb/showpost.php?p=2731411508&postcount=2) thread in March. Not saying it's not worth it, just wonder why such a large difference in rates.
Do the Two Sixties boys do these?

[sikelsh]

Ill send the link through to him, will see what he says :}

[Tatts]

If the date is 6/7 Oct, then I'm on shift & won't be able to attend.

Shame, as I'd like to have got both cars tested.

I'll be ok with this

[sikelsh]

Post updated Jonathan, thanks :)

[Canonite]

Yep, as originally planned i'll make one in. £20 is a bargain
Wonder if there's any warranty in place if while they're taking your V6 to the redline a belt snaps?
Better get them done then. Where's Andy...

Cant imagine there is a warranty Alan, I think we take our chances I am afraid.

I'll pop you on the list with the rest of the gamblers :D

Simon

[vitesse-chris]

You know, I am tempted with this! A lot of our local rollers have a bad name and I’ve heard some horror stories!

I have family in Doncaster so could perhaps visit them and then go on to the rolling road! I’ll have to see what cash I have left over when I get paid! :D

[Hodgy]

Add me to the list please

[sikelsh]

I can't personally vouch for this chap, but I was talking to an MX5 owner who visited them, that's how I found them :shrug:

More than welcome to join us, and you don't have to go first :D


Add me to the list please

Will do :)

[Raynor]

I don't mind braving the first run. With my current track record ill be saying bye bye to my belts.

Better look at getting a spare set.

Andy. Hope u will be on hand :)

[Frank Incensed]

Hi Simon

It's only 4 gallons of diesel to me (gulp!:o)
I've not travelled the A626 for years and I'd be interested to know what's available for the huge flow rate of diesel through my injectors. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I was getting nowhere near 130 bhp for my V6-like fuel consumption?:D So put me down, please, Simon. Curiosity is killing me. There are too many unknowns in my universe.

Robert

[sikelsh]

We shall find out Robert, I am tempted to bring my diesel 75 if I have still have it by then, your added to the list.

Should make for an interesting day, and a few videos no doubt, and if anything goes wrong, we should get £250 from you've been framed :D

Simon

[James.uk]

I would like to attend this meeting. be nice to see Robert again, and to see what my car records on the test bed.. innit... :shrug:

Dunno what time you plan to start, but I hate mornings. So anytime after noon would suit me please. :}

Thank you for the post code... I should be able to find Sheffield now.. :D
...

[sikelsh]

I think it will depend on how many attend as to the start time, but you can go last if it helps :}

Provisional then?

Simon

[James.uk]

Nah make me a definite, I can work out what time I need to leave here nearer the time innit.. :}
...

[sikelsh]

Excellent :) will the dog be staying in the car while its put through its paces? :D

[sikelsh]

Just a bump and to say start time added of 10:00.

Simon

[Raynor]

Sorry guys but I'm afraid that I won't be able to make this now. :(

[Frank Incensed]

Oooops! Back down to the minimum of 5 cars. Anyone else in Manchester interested?

[sikelsh]

Aye, fingers crossed the 5 make it

I thought this would have been more popular given the price, hey ho

Simon

[pab]

I was going to mention this after the Thorpe Arch meet,anyway with the amended date,stick me on the list.

[sikelsh]

Cheers Pab :} list amended

[sikelsh]

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ.

I had a call with Clive the owner and he has been having some neighbour trouble with regards to noise.

There are a couple of rules that have been enforced on him and he wanted to check with us to make sure everything is still ok.

Rule 1) Only the Owner can be in the garage with the car when the run is taking place.
Rule 2) A Maximum of 10 Cars, so this event is now limited, so anyone holding off, get your name in.

I said I would ask those attending and get back to him.

For me, all I really want to know is "what BHP is my car running" so the above isn't an issue.

Any thoughts from others?

Simon

I'm in the same frame of mind. I have a 160 V6 with a 177 upgrade and Longlife cat-back. So logic would suggest about 180bhp but the car is now 10yrs old now with 61k and would have lost some of that power with age. It will be interesting to find out.

[Hodgy]

I'm still in mate

[Frank Incensed]

whether whatever is causing Eliza's drink problem is also affecting her work rate. I'll not suffer a quaffer who's also a slacker! Want a mistress who costs less and performs better.:D

If it's on, I'll be there Simon.

Cheers
Robert

[sikelsh]

Thanks guys :)

I'll confirm back its still on to Clive.

Lets hope Eliza bucks her ideas up, else by the sound of it, shes out..... :D

[taxi mad]

add me to the list please :smilie_re:taxi

[Canonite]

We need a booby prize for the owner of the car that's lost the most of it's original output. Lol

[sikelsh]

add me to the list please :smilie_re:taxi

Added :D

Like that idea.... Thinking cap on....

[James.uk]

>>>will the dog be staying in the car while its put through its paces? :D<<<

Can't bring him, he might savage anyone who tries to drive coz he thinks it's his job.. lol

New rules are fine by me, I will bring a flask and chat to people waiting. :}

Should be nice following Robert (Frank Incensed) through the Snake pass, not been through to Sheffield for years.. :}
...

[Frank Incensed]

................. Should be nice following Robert (Frank Incensed) through the Snake pass, not been through to Sheffield for years.....

............it won't be me, Bob.:D

My route planner tells me the A628 is the way to go. I'm pretty sure that's the Woodhead Pass. Quite appropriate for me really.:}

However, if you'd like to go via the Cat & Fiddle and past the Derwent Valley, where the Dambusters did some practice, let me know. Last time I wanted to go that way, the road was closed.:(

Robert

[sikelsh]

Well pride is now at stake, we have an invader.... My step lad with his Seat Ibiza FR that has 150bhp... He needs to come last :D

[rich17865]

Space for one more?

[sikelsh]

Added to the list, welcome aboard the good ship mythbusters :D

I hope we can all handle the truth!

Simon

[rich17865]

Following marinabrians 160 auto beta remap it will certainly be interesting to see the results on my otherwise stock cdti.

[lightningmark]

Add me please

[sikelsh]

Added to the list.

Technically its now full, but I can squeeze one more 75 or ZT in.

Simon

[Frank Incensed]

Just looked at this place on Google Street View. No wonder he has complaints. Residential village location - almost "suburban" feel.

Any opinions on the 2 local hostelries, The Hatfield Arms and The St Leger Arms, please?

I might need to install Mrs Incensed in an environment where she can be amused, get something to eat and be bought a glass or two of distilled water.:D

[James.uk]

Woodhead sounds good, I like going over Woodhead Robert, loverly views on that road innit.. :}

If Rich is coming, is he going to join us? Meet us at McDonalds?? (end of the M67) :}
...

[Frank Incensed]

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,If Rich is coming, is he going to join us? Meet us at McDonalds?? (end of the M67)............
...

You know, I never asked Rich the other night, because I assumed it would be a lot further for him to come north then go east.:shrug:
However, I've just checked out the routes and (because he would otherwise have to go east, almost to Mansfield then north) there's only a difference of about 10 miles and 5 minutes journey time in it, innit.:o
I thought we could meet about 8.30 / 8.45 to be there not too much after 10.00.
That would mean Rich setting off from Crewe about 07.40.
How about it Rich? Fancy a 3 diesel convoy over the Pennines?:}

[James.uk]

>>>>I thought we could meet about 8.30 / 8.45<<<

??? is that a morning time?? *goes for a lie down* blimmen eck!! I haven't seen that time of day since I retired innit!!

But.. OK... *sobs* But you better be out front coz i will be sleepwalkin innit.. :o

I don't think there's a better route for Rich from Crewe, But I may be wrong, (I do "wrong" quite often really, seems to be becoming a habit) .... lol.. :D

Is there a Norf West meet on 18th? next day? I have to collect something from Jimbo when I get the chance.. :o Can't at the moment coz I have a bad tummy that I can't seem to shake off *deep gloom innit*........ :o:o
...

[rich17865]

Looks like we got us a convoy!

Even though it would be easier for me to go along the a50.....

[Frank Incensed]

Big 10-4, buddy.
Good to have you along.:D I’ll PM you my channel 25.
Your first sargent along for the ride?
I think I should be the front door ‘cos I’m the only one with a clean cat.
You and Bob can decide who’s easy chair.
If it’s clear as a spring day and we keep doin’ the five-five then we won’t be feedin’ the bears. ;)
No more invitations or Christmas cards. Do you copy?

As I said (if you are located close to the centre of Crewe) AA Route Planner shows there’s really not that much in it – either in distance or time. As well as Woodhead Pass, we get to use the M1, too. I suppose that makes up for the bendy bits?:shrug:

Seventy-thirds

[rich17865]

It is quicker going the other way as it is all fast dual carriageway, but granted the woodhead pass is a much prettier journey.

Nobody in tow, just me myself and I.

See you there!

I'll take your two five big buddy, you'll have to give me a copy on your six, c'mon

[Frank Incensed]

...

Have to have an early night for a change, Bob.:D
Yes there is a meeting on 18th
Hope your tum gets better soon. Don't delay seeing the the doc if normal remedies have failed.
I used to get a bit of IBS but some milk and those acidophilous capsules (the ones with more bugs in than there are people in the world:shrug:) sorts things out for me if I feel it coming on.

[J1MBO]

...

Sorry to hear you're not too well at the moment, hope you start feeling better soon :grouphug:.

When you are feeling better either drop me a pm or give me a ring and I'll pop over to see you, bring "it" with me :D.

Sorry but I'll not be available to attend the meeting at the Hollow Tree on the 18th - I'll be elsewhere :cool:.

[Frank Incensed]

................................................An y opinions on the 2 local hostelries, The Hatfield Arms and The St Leger Arms, please?.........................

The Hatfeild Arms (I previously spelt it incorrectly:shrug:) is just around the corner and has had good reviews for food on Tripadvisor and in the Worksop Guardian (August and September this year).
I think that's where I'll be boosting the local economy when I'm not checking on the car's boost and economy.:D:getmecoat:

[sikelsh]

I can't help Robert with the hostelries, as I don't know the area, you always drop your young lady at Meadowhell on the way, plenty to see eat and spend.

Simon

[Frank Incensed]

........ you always drop your young lady at Meadowhell on the way, plenty to see eat and spend.

Simon

:eek::eek: Loose lips sink ships, Simon.
Mrs Incensed didn't even Know I had a young lady, let alone where I take her!:rant::twonk: She'll be going through my credit card statements with a fine toothcomb.:poke: :fight: :flushed:

:D:D:D

[James.uk]

All that cbeeziz chat tired me out, I never had one. :p: so don't speak the jargon, but I can walk with a squint innit.. :D

Startin early means a long day innit, that's why I start in the middle every day. :} I used to start at the end but I found that puttin two ends together usually results in a loud BANG and blown fuses innit.. :o

Dr booked for tomorrow, I was fine till they gave me a flu jab two weeks ago, been rough ever since :shrug:.. :mad::mad::mad:

Thanks for the offer Jimbo, but I have to get down to Handforth B&Q asap so I will PM you for a phone number and maybe meet you there. :)

Ha, just seen this sorry for the delay, loose lips are now sealed :D

[sikelsh]

Event now full :}

Looking forward to it, and nervous all at the same :confused:

I would suggest folks bring flasks and some snacks as there doesn't look much in the village.

Simon

[Frank Incensed]

Simon

Well, I'll be in the Hatfeild Arms, just round the corner, at lunchtime. But a flask of soup for mid-morning sounds a good idea.

[James.uk]

Would it not be a good idea to stagger arrival times? If we all get there at the same time, (10 am) some people will have a very lonnggg wait innit.. :shrug: ? ??
...

[pab]

[sikelsh]

Pick a number from the Hat, argument sorted. ;)

Thats what I was thinking :shrug:

Arrive when you want though chaps, I am guessing, but reckon if he said he could do 30/day then I would think its only 15/20 mins per run so suspect its a 3/4 hour meet tops ... it is a guess though.

Simon

[James.uk]

I wasn't expecting anyone to argue about anything? just thought it might be better if Robert, Chris and I aim to arrive at noon rather than 10 am. ???

Meet at McDonald's at 10 am? It would suit me better.. :D
...

[Frank Incensed]

.................. just thought it might be better if Robert, Chris and I aim to arrive at noon rather than 10 am. ???
.....


I'm open to that. The only problem I can see is if some of the others arrive later too. That could result in our host hanging around, waiting for people to arrive and a later than envisaged finish to the proceedings?:shrug:

What do you think, Simon?

[sikelsh]

Noon should be fine, not a minute more though :D

As long as I am off for 3:00 then all is good, Skyfall to go watch :}

Simon

[Frank Incensed]

OK Simon. Thanks. Looks like Bob has got his lie-in.:D

Don't yet know if this suits Rich, though:shrug:

[James.uk]

No doubt he will let us know when he gets up Robert... lol...:D:D:D

Not much over an hour from McDonald's, so easily be there by 11-30 I rekon.. :)
...

[whitegold]

Hi All, Called at Autotronix this afternoon and to a check Hatfield Arms,
-closed- today but guy at Autotronix tells me they are usually open at
weekends, he also says that he usually provides tea/coffee but can't
promise much else this weekend, not to worry though there is The Gallows
& The Monks Bridge Farm within about a mile of the garage, used them both in the past but not within the last 6 months, seem ok.

If it's ok with you Simon I'll pay you for the fleece on Saturday, I
intend coming over I'm only about 10 mins away. Give the machine a
miss though, not sure my blood pressure or my wallet could take it.

Cheers!!

[sikelsh]

Not a problem, hope to see you there :)

Good news on the Tea and Coffee, might bring my own mug, these grease monkeys are no good for my OCD :D

[pab]

Without trawling back over the pages, What's the prize for First Place? :}

[sikelsh]

There didn't seem much point me getting one for myself :D :getmecoat:

[pab]

There didn't seem much point me getting one for myself :D :getmecoat:Yeah Right.. ;)

[Frank Incensed]

Well here are the categories nobody else stands a chance in:

Most Fuel Used in Shortest Time

Most Fuel Used for Every BHP / lb/ft of Torque

Most Fuel Used on Journey to Meeting

Greatest Quantity of Soot / Smoke Generated

and possibly

Smallest Power / Torque Output :o

Is there a booby prize? :D

[rich17865]

Evening chaps!

I have to be honest, an early start for me would be good, I could do with getting back home before the end of the day. I have been to arranged Rover meets or visits for the last few weekends on the trot. This weekend I am doing Saturday and Sunday (and hoping she doesn't lop me knackers off on Monday!)

I have got to replace faulty bits in my boiler so we can have proper hot water again.

I shall still plan to be there for about 10am to be honest.

If you North Westers are wimping out and getting out of bed at dinner time, I shall take the A50 and whizz over that way.

At present I would like to take the prize for most smog ejected please.

[James.uk]

As it's a draw for oder of testing, getting there earlier wont help will it... :shrug: 10 cars go in hat no matter what time you get there.. If, your name comes up before you arrive, presumably you're next when you do arrive.. innit.... :}
...

[pab]

Oh and Simon, I forgot to mention, I have the VIS tester from stocktake for you. :)

[rich17865]

...

if your name is drawn first and you aren't there someone else has to go anyway, seems a bit daft to draw names out of a hat if we were not all there at the same time. Surely it would be better as it is a meet to have a chat about rovers and just take turns.

[Frank Incensed]

Just typed a fairly lengthy post here and ................ it's gorn!:(
Can't be bothered to type it all again.
What it boiled down to Rich, is this. Although I'm not from the NW and I usually get up at 5am and early is best for me too, my daughter has now dumped the grandkids on us until about 10am, so you're going solo on the A50.
Hope to see you there.
Safe journey.
Robert

Well grandkids are much better than Rover's anyway!

Maybe the trio can drive 'over the top' together on the way home?

[James.uk]

Robert, I will wait for you. Give me a ring when you are free and I will meet you at McDonalds.. I think you have my phone numbers. :}

Rich, we can certainly all drive back together. :D fingers crossed it's not foggy on top innit...

Thats great :) Many thanks

[Canonite]

I suggested some kind of Donkey Award for the car which has lost most of its original power and a Stallion Award for the one thats retained the most.

I also think we should have a Putty Award and a Golden Mallet Award for the Spanner meets. Lol

[sikelsh]

I haven't had time to sort any prizes out in all seriousness :o I did try for about 1 hour one day, but my imagination wasn't working so gave up :getmecoat:

I think, and it is a think, our lass is looking at stuffed toys in Ikea today, but no guarantee she will come up trumps.

I think it's worth putting a lot of effort into this sort of thing. It enriches the memories people take away with them.
So Bob and I will see what toys they're giving away with the Happy Meals in the McDonalds at the end of the M57:D:D

Apparently cuddly toys sorted... Rat and Bulldog, best ikea could offer.

So Rat for the car that's lost the most BHP from standard, or if no one has lost, the one that has gained the least from standard.

Bull Dog for the most gained from Standard.

And Free Happy Meals all round from Robert :D

I wouldn't wish one of those on anybody, no matter how much they'd neglected their 75 / ZT !:D

SK14 3AU is the post code for McDonalds at the end of the M67... :}

The results of the car tests could prove most interesting innit.. More on standard cars though really. I doubt the remaps will tell us much, and will only be of interest to their owners.

We should set off at 10ish Bob. I'll send you a text when we leave the house and we should be at McDs about 20 minutes later.

I would like to say a big thank you to Simon for organizing the Rolling road day and what a day it was, a day full of surprises.

[sikelsh]

Thanks for a full turn, great to see old n new faces, I have loads of video but am at meadowhell at the moment, so will upload later.

Simon

[stocktake]

How about a league table of the day then :)

[sikelsh]

I have one Dave just out and about.

PS I need to more motors :(

[MrDoodles]

So did the "200 bhp" diesel turn-up then? :shrug:

[Frank Incensed]

Many thanks to Simon and everyone else.
Interesting day, enjoyable journey and great food at a very reasonable price in the Hatfeild Arms.
If I hadn't gone today, who knows when I might have discovered my split turbo / egr hose?:shrug: What a mess that could have made.:( A quick and free temporary repair was provided by our host:}
Well I now know (with the hose repaired) power is about right. Torque is better than normal, but can't explain my high fuel consumption. So it looks like I'll be off to get the injectors checked very soon.

[MrDoodles]

All of the days figures will be revealed, on a new thread. ;)

Cool! :)

I hear that a re-mapped 160, was most powerful V6...............

I hear that a re-mapped 160, was most powerful V6............... Let's not spoil the later Thread that Simon is creating. All I can say is that it wouldn't have won if the Balance VIS was not changed and if yours truly didn't have a spare in his boot and a VIS tester.

Can't wait to see the results - would love to see a power graph from a remapped diesel too (not just the headline figures)

[pob06]

Ok, spill the beans, I'm all intrigued :-)

If it clears things up, no timing belts or chains were harmed in the making of the new thread. :D

Do we have a link to the follow up thread anywhere chaps??
