Was a good day, despite the weather. Sorry i had to disappear but I got an unexpected call that I had to take care of. Iddy are you at the meet on Tuesday?

suppose i can take a positive from 347/314 with the issues i had!!

Think only issue I had with mine was just the tmic being to hot that's it, wish I'd brought the co2 extinguisher out the works van, would have seen more smiles out of myself, hardy, and locky, think our cars were massively down on power due to this issue but know what to do for next time if tha cars hasn't got a front mount on by then lol

Heads battered with the results from mine Lost a shit load of lovely torque and a fair chunk of BHP from the last time it was on, even though a couple of changes and on-road map tweek saw a noticable gain a couple of months back. I have MI6 looking into it

Good to catch up and have a bit crack though - cheers everyone

Was a good meet up and good crack but yes I am licking my wounds big style and yes my car will be running a fmic and a bigger turbo nxt time......as arnie says (I'll be back).......but on the roads my car goes like f£&k!!!?

Sum People are happy sum sad but try and remember a dyno is a tuning tool theres loads of things that can make good & bad results, on RR days a lot of dynos are setup on a morning and then not changed the rest of the day (temp,humidity,dyno bed etc) due to just wanting cars on & off, next please, home time lol
As long as everyone came way with out issues its a good day

A big thank you to the people that organised todays rolling road session.

Also thanks for the friendly welcome . It was the first time I've met any of you apart from Phil 555 so I didn't know what to expect.

It was good to put faces to some of the names too.

Pleased with my torque figure of 383 lbft . Not bad for a 19 year old red shed ! Also good to know there's more power to be had once I sort out the collapsing intake duct . ( Thanks JonnyGav for the help diagnosing the problem )

John H

Well said drewsrer!!

Wish I came now !!! At work though

so finn getting pints in for macca lol and what drew says is right i read on andy f website about all the reasons that can make car make less power on rr days all sorts covered on his web site good thing to read before getting to disapointed lads hope all had good day and hope to get back in mine next couple of month

Yes it was an excellent day! Apart from it being sooooo cold!!!

Very pleased with my result, shame my back box was hanging off

Would have liked to put more faces to names (know you by username but not in person! lol) but didnt know who was who

Had some good crack with most people, nice to see some old faces and look forward to future meets/events etc to get to know everyone

Usually takes it easy hardy very unlike him

11. 555BAT 315BHP 376lb/ft

Well a least I now know what my new one is running at, as the garage I bought it from did not know what mods had been done to it, but we're trying to tell me is was 370bhp which I new after driving it it was not as high as that, so today for me was just to find out what it had, so I was not disappointed as did not know what to expect but I guessed before hand at about 310bhp so was not far out but am well happy with my torque figure of 376lb/ft which seems really high compared to my bhp figure and compared to some other cars

After 3 years of fairly genteel performance modding (compared to most people), i'm happy with my 323 bhp and 285 ft/lbs. The car goes well and stops well.......which is pretty much whats required after all.

I am however wondering what it would take to get into the 350/300 territory, whether I'd notice a lot of difference and whether it would last for very long on std internals/running gear or whether I should just go and buy the hatch STi Ive been mulling over for the last 12 months. Decisions, decisions.......

Aye was a canny day but fookin baltic. Nice to meet a few new faces and catch up with some old mates.

Diesels rule..............

gutted we missed it,would of been nice to catch up with everyone, some good results there
