Uk Rolling Road Interest=poll

[caishanvr4]

Alright guys, just gaging intrest on who would be up for a ROLLING ROAD SHOOTOUT @ silverstone at some point within the next couple of months. After my exhilarating time watching all the results take place im hankering for more to see if i can ring some more power out of my VR4.I have contacted WRC Tech and they have said they will get back to me in regards to a CLUBVR4 RR day including dates.As soon as i have this info you will all be made aware.If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to post. All in favour vote Yes
against should vote yes too :evilgrin:

Not sure how to start the yes no poll/Hmmm anyway heres my vote

caishanvr4 YES

[bradc]

I have to recommend this to anyone, I've been to 3 now and have thoroughly enjoyed them all, best of all you can't argue about driver differances or anything like that when you are comparing 1/4 mile times.

[Kieran]

Oh hell yes. I've been interested to see what kind of output I've got before I start tampering with my car.

Can this rolling road measure things like boost pressure and AFRs as it's running?

[richy rich]

yes if its not to expensive

[Nick Mann]

Paul - check that they can cope with auto transmissions. I contacted a few rolling roads last year to try and set this up, but they didn't like the 4WD and auto box combo.

I'm up for it if it works out!

[caishanvr4]

I Got a call this morning and the chap (cant remember his name /pan ) and first thing he's said is-
sorted out your boost leak yet?

Kieran i hope this answers your question :2thumbsup
its all about numbers as follows

30 cars= 30 quid
20-25 cars= 40 quid
under 20 cars= BIG MONEY

Come on lets get a show of hands on this event, maybe someone can contact a mag and we can get some GOOD publicity for clubvr4 and maybe then tuners may start to become intrested in sourcing/providing parts for our cars.Come on lets make a BIG noise about CLUBVR4. Dates would be may or june on a saturday, pls post preference

[bradc]

Nick - over here they hate auto's too, but they seem to be ok with Tiptronics. If someone could mention that the cars will be 4wd tiptronics and manuals they might be ok with it.

Here they drive it up to about 20kph, put the car into 3rd gear, then plant it

[Rally205]

[ariddell]

Yeah, go on then, i'd be up for it depending on dates.

[Wouter]

Yep as long as the engine doesn,t fall out :P

/Grrr /Grrr /Grrr

[Wouter]

Depending on when it is... and if we can remeber how to fit he engine and gearbox back into the Lancer... that may also come along.... (instead of the pathetically slow and underpowered Mazda.....)

[bernmc]

What's a mazda? Some sort of shopping chain? Sewing Machine? :evilgrin:

I'd be up for it if it was around 40 squid... need dates as far in advance as possible to arrange my working life though...

[SGHOM]

:2thumbsup :2thumbsup

I've set the benchmark at 333bhp. BEAT THAT !! :2thumbsup :pimp2: :pimp2:

[Spirit]

:2thumbsup :2thumbsup

I've set the benchmark at 333bhp. BEAT THAT !! :2thumbsup :pimp2: :pimp2:

318 was my best so far, but that was in quite high ambient temperatures.

Derek, don't shout too loud, I don't think you will hold that for much longer - in fact we could see a 50% increase on that very soon......./help

[Kieran]

:2thumbsup :2thumbsup

I've set the benchmark at 333bhp. BEAT THAT !! :2thumbsup :pimp2: :pimp2:

And what would your legnum CURRENTLY benchmark at then?! /Hmmm

[SGHOM]

And what would your legnum CURRENTLY benchmark at then?! /Hmmm

err ?? not as much as that !! :speechles /help

[colVR4]

Depends on the dates obviously, but I would be up for it.

[g6acb]

I don't mind being the laughing stock bringing up the rear if non VR-4s are allowed......... just interested to find out how many of Mitsubishi's 131 horses get lost between the engine and the road really

Would suggest avoiding June 11th if venue is any where near silverstone.....

[Spirit]

June 10th is also England vs Paraquay in the world cup

[Wodjno]

June 10th is also England vs Paraquay in the world cup

You and your Netball /pan

[Spirit]

You and your Netball /pan

It pays well sometimes though..... £303 on Tuesday night and £75 last night.....not bad for a week. :2thumbsup

Please note ALL CARS ARE WELCOME wether its front/rear or 4x4. Any manual vr4's entering the fold??? All the under 5sec gtec whiz kids :scholar: it would be good to see what figures your really are putting out /STP

[Kieran]

This sounds like a plan to me!:2thumbsup

Stevec205gti....... Do you think there's any chance you'll be able pop down with Hordak? I always wanted to know what he was putting out......

The first is 13th of may, 1 week before japfest :2thumbsup
Next date is 1st of july

Which of these dates is best, let me or nick know asap cheers

[Wodjno]

May 13th for Me :happy:

Also to make the numbers up, I keep seeing a Laborghini Diablo in and around the area that i work. I could always stop him and ask him if he's up for it..:thinking:
I've not yet heard the noise of the car over about 2500rpm, but even at that RPM it sounds better than mine at full tilt :evilgrin:

[Axeboy]

The later the better and I should be able to visit...

Whos got a spare bed? :p

[Nutter_John]

Hi There

If it is the May date then I'm up for it - have sellected yes in the poll as well .


Be interesting to see the results as I had a RR done last week and the figures were low :( but gave me the push to look at a boost controller and unichip


Cheers John

mmmm.... I find men with a good sense of humor very attractive :smitten: ... and that nic... 'Caishan'... sounds very strong and manly... Is it Celtic? Viking?

:D

I'm not working either of those days /JawDroppi . Think May would be better as I'm more sure of where I'll be.

[Rally205]

May will be best for me aswell.

Will lowered cars get on the rollers ok?

[caishanvr4]

Yep, lowered would be fine :2thumbsup

[Slimshady]

I am very interested – I know I only have a V6 and can only push half the power you chaps are generating but I think it would be fun to see the difference a couple of turbos make. Also a fantastic lower model bench mark. If accepted I might give my m8 a ring with a GLS and also my brother-in-law with his Lotus Carlton (please advise if any of this is acceptable)

I can not fully commit until I know the date and cost.

[g6acb]

Alltough a bit long in the tooth now and an even rarer sight than a VR-4 , the Lotus Carlton is still my fave car of all time.

My dad had one as a company car in 1991 - I used to drive the thing with 'L' plates on........

Kept it for 2 years and 60,000 miles and then got a SAAB Carlson.

Right now my Galant is the closest thing I can afford to a Carlton sustitute, even though a couple of turbos seem to have fallen off somewhere..........


GET IT DOWN THERE

I can also have my own little shootout with the GLS

No problem slim, get them to register and get there names down.I think that all of the club would agree-It would be a good thing to see a carlton on the rollers and just to hear what it sounds like on full tilt;) it looks like the 13th may is the prefered date atm, if we get 30 cars then its between £30 & £35 pounds, less than that £40-£45 pounds.I think it would be intresting to see who has the bragging rights of the most powerful V6:deal2:

I think most will all be sorry not to see the most viewed car on the rollers :sad3:


Sorry, but finances are a little more important this year, and I am lucky enough to have a rolling road less than 2 miles away from where I live :2thumbsup

[caishanvr4]

HI All
I have just spoke with WRC Technologies :2thumbsup
They will be posting up on the site soon so any queries you have can be answered by them directly. So is MAY the 13th ok for everyone on the list :inquisiti

[RED]

13th is fine for Marcus and me - I'll have to keep him off the JD the night before though cos it's his birthday and he needs to be sober in charge of my car/pan So definately confirmed:2thumbsup

[Axeboy]

As said before, ill be present if i can get my car ready, so provisional for me.

[WildCards]

yup, i'm good.

[soapy1978]

sorry to say but you going to have to count me and my dad and mates out of this one as be chatting and there is a localer one to us in liake side so we going to get over there and get them done and i will post the results once we been

[bernmc]

:2thumbsup

[g6acb]

May 13th fine :2thumbsup

[Nick Mann]

sorry to say but you going to have to count me and my dad and mates out of this one as be chatting and there is a localer one to us in liake side so we going to get over there and get them done and i will post the results once we been

But don't you think it would be good to have a direct comparison? And meet and see all the owners and cars?

I have put it on the calendar!

[Wodjno]

I also have closer 1's .. 3 that i know are within 20 mins drive.. But i see this as a Club meet so travelling isn't an problem.. And like you say
Nick ! A direct comparison using the same rolling road on the same day :2thumbsup

[Spirit]

Are they able to cope with auto's ok ? I know a lot of places struggle with them

[The Vee]

13th good for me.

[g6acb]

But don't you think it would be good to have a direct comparison? And meet and see all the owners and cars?[/quote]

My thoughts exactly.... I friend of a friend runs The Racing Line - who ran a dyno shootout day for the MLR - the garage can't be more than 4 miles from my door step.

But the chance to meet more Club VR-4 members and their cars means I am more than happy to travel 150 miles each way for the occasion......

And it's not as if I will be in the running for top spot in the BHP stakes..../help

[Kieran]

So it looks like we're doing the 13th then eh?

/I'd better get my car back together then!!!/help /help /help

[soapy1978]

o.k guys i see your point looks like the 13th is back on for me and my dad for shore past on the others tho

[caishanvr4]

AFAIK when i spoke to WRC they assured me that there roller's can cope fine with auto's.:scholar:

[imcarm]

I could well be interested in this, be nice to find out what my V6 is pushing out :happy:

Can I bring a friend..? he's not a Galant driver but he's interested in what his Mercedes 190e or Vectra SRi is currently pushing out?

So that would be 2 more (need to first check with the other half of course)

[stuartturbo]

Put me down a possible i will confirm later

[bernmc]

Just a thought, Big Boy... do you think you should get a few deposits? I'd hate to see you do all this work, and only a handful of us turn up on the day...? People are less likely to stay in bed if they're going to loose money. Or are you going to ask for full payment before the event?

Good thinking Robin :happy:

I believe a deposit of 20 pounds should do it, as Wrc would like the cash on arrival so i think a payment to nickmann either by paypal or cheque etc would be the way forward.I cant ask for full payment yet as i dont know how many people will be coming on the day.If we had 30 cars already i would ask for full payment between 30 & 35 pounds.With less than a month to go we really need to get things moving. If we had 30 cars then i would have got the ball rolling cash wise but im supprised we still dont have the numbers:inquisiti
What i may have to do is get another car member site involved just to get the numbers.I really wanted this event for the clubvr4 members so we can put names to faces and just enjoy the day :baby:
I will pm nick about the deposits :2thumbsup

[WildCards]

Cool

[soapy1978]

silly question but has this place got awebsite as i need to know where i am going to get here and my dad will be following me up

[soapy1978]

Put me down a possible i will confirm later

if you are coming let me know before hand and we can run up there togeather as it be good to get a bit of a vr-4 convoy going on the way up there but at legal speeds to save on fuel:afro:

Cool!

So, what's the crack then? Are we booked in and everything yet? Who do I send a deposit to?
We are defo booked for 13/05/06 and ive also pm'd nickmann about the deposits situation.Once we have nicks reply we can bombard him with our money :happy: then put cash to our names, the sooner the better.
I am really looking forward to this event and anyone who aint been to an event like this is really gonna be amazed at the thrill factor /Hyper

[WildCards]

I think Nicks away all week. Even so, might have to wait for Pete to sort the deposits out as he's the money man.

Soapy, it's Silverstyone for gods sake, only the home of motorsport /pan It should be the centre of your universe..unless your a gurl. :joker: :jester:

HELLLOOO

I just got a reply to a email i sent to JTuner magazine

I sent:

Hi All

I'd like to say thanks for producing a fantastic mag not Chav related. Ive been an avid reader since you were born (june issue) and it continues to go from strength to strength.Ive even had the pleasure of meeting you at Brunters Vr4 group thrash on the 5/07/05 were a great day was had by all.Anyhow the point of this email is that ive organised a Rolling Road day at Wrc Technologies/silverstone for the above date and was wondering if we could have your hospitality again to cover the event. I know time is short but i would just like to thank you in advance whether you can make it or not and keep up the good work. I would just like to add before i go my name is Paul and my vr4 was the reg no.S??? A?K and a few mods have been added.

Regards

Paul

There reply was:


Hi Paul,

Shouldn't be a problem mate. We've still got a soft spot for the VR4s!

Carlin our freelancer will most likely be doing it.

Cheers,

Steve

So it looks like we will have to give our cars a good shine and get good atw figures as well :2thumbsup
Still need five more Cars tho to get the best price /Hmmm

J Tuner were at the Ring over the Weekend.. I was talking to the Photographer who was there, he was the one who done the Brunters Pics.. They was there all weekend and mine was the First VR4 they had seen and that was on Monday :inquisiti Said he had been hanging around the Main car park and the Start Finish line, but hadn't spotted any of us.. :speechles Shows how fast we were :evilgrin:

[soapy1978]

well i had mine do at mitsubishi humphries & parks ltd on the a20 london road by west mailing
and oil + filter sump washer and ayc oil cost me £169 all in

yes we both coming to silverstone but dad not coming donny i think he not that much in the track racing old git you see having a mid life he he

[Nick Mann]

Good thinking Robin :happy:

I believe a deposit of 20 pounds should do it, as Wrc would like the cash on arrival so i think a payment to nickmann either by paypal or cheque etc would be the way forward.I cant ask for full payment yet as i dont know how many people will be coming on the day.If we had 30 cars already i would ask for full payment between 30 & 35 pounds.With less than a month to go we really need to get things moving. If we had 30 cars then i would have got the ball rolling cash wise but im supprised we still dont have the numbers:inquisiti
What i may have to do is get another car member site involved just to get the numbers.I really wanted this event for the clubvr4 members so we can put names to faces and just enjoy the day :baby:
I will pm nick about the deposits :2thumbsup


I think it may be a bit late to sort out a deposit from everyone. Paypal costs a bit of money, so I would have preferred it to go throught the club, but time is now short.

Can I say that a certain Essex Lad has put a lot of effort into organising this event and trust me when I say I know how hard it is getting everyone organised. Please don't let him down by not turning up on the day. If you said you will attend, then turn up! There is plenty of time between now and then to make your excuses.

I would also like to say that I am looking forward to this! It is something I have wanted to do for a while - so it is not only going to be interesting from what my car is doing point of view, but also very interesting to meet some new faces and members!

[soapy1978]

Do a search in google for silverstone or give wrc tech a call and they can let you know of the food stalls or cafes:inquisiti At least the toilet facilities are very good :2thumbsup

[SGHOM]

I'm outa this one Paul.. sorry. :thinking: too much ongoing at the moment.

[soapy1978]

hi all just spoke to wrc on the phone he has just told me that there is toilots but food maybe be a problem there has to be 25 cars or more and his mean man isn't going to be there on the 13th so he might not be able to run all of us on the day so could someone who knows more about the day give him a ring and see what happaning please

[weltmeister]

Just got round to joining. Allan from WRC Tech here. When I first spoke with the organiser we had not confirmed a date, as such Chris [my business partner and Dyno operator] is away mapping cars in Poland that weekend.

All is not lost however, as Jamie has run Dyno Days previously, the only potential issue being him running the Tiptronic versions. If someone who is close by Silverstone can come in for him to trial it ?

I have not read the complete thread but I assume its 13th May and we have over 20 cars ??

Allan
WRC Tech

[weltmeister]

Hi Guys
We can arrange for an independant catering van to be on site but need 25 cars / 40 people for them to come. Our toilets are available to use on the day.

Please note that non VR4's will run at the end of the running order to simplify and maintain speed.

Allan

[WildCards]

That's right Allan - 13th May with over 20 cars (closer to 30), I suppose it doesn't help that most cars have the tiptronic box /help.

I might be able to pop along at the weekend so you can do some setting up, but if anyone is nearer, feel free to volunteer.

[WildCards]

Anyone got a BBQ they could bring? /haz

[soapy1978]

well is every one coming with someone as at the last count there was 26 cars coming some there should be enough for allan to get the van in for some food but before he does should we do a double check on whos comind and whos not

i am and so is my dadand we both bringing partners along if there is food there

[bernmc]

I'm dragging my wife along...

[WildCards]

Me and Kate

[WildCards]

Sorry, Kate and I

[WildCards]

BRSCC (http://www.brscc.co.uk/calendar/eventdetails.asp?meetingref=ss13may) is on that weekend too, might pop and have a look while i'm waiting.

Have got some interest from some mates, no definates though. There cars are:

Porsche Boxster S (new one)
Porsche 944 ClubSport
Peugeot 306 GTi-6
Fiat Coupe 20vT
Renault Clio 182

Let me know now if they are not welcome, I don't want to waste their time.

Yep that is correct Darren. I also have a mate with a celica gt4 intrested. As of now an afirmative number of peeps who,s DEFINATELY going should say now or forever hold there piece.

caishan after speaking to Allan at WRC on Saturday I need to let you know what he has asked for to be arranged for the rolling road day.

He wants one person to organise everybody on the day and seeing as though you have arranged everything thus far what about you? or as you've got to come a way and I'm nearer I can always get there first thing and start things off:thinking:

We also need at least half of the people to be there by 9am on the day and as we are all paying on the day he has asked that everybody pay in cash only as this will speed things up and run smoother on the day.

Give me a call or PM me

Good job I'm not coming then or else I'd have no house keeping left/help after yesterday

[BraindG]

I might turn up, if i do, would it be possible without me commiting to it now?

[Spirit]

A few points I would say having attended a few RR days:

1: 20+ cars will take a long long time to get through - be prepared for a long day
2: £45-55 is very expensive for such numbers - AP charge £30-35 max !
3: Cash on the day.......not to speed things up, thats simply because it won't go through the books ! I would try and negotiate a lower price for cash.

20 x £45 = £900 cash - not bad for a days work - take off £100 to cover costs and the £800 gets split no doubt. But, if you guys are happy then fine, I'm sure you will have a fun day :2thumbsup

Give me a call or PM me

Thats fine marcus, you can take hold of the reins from wrc to get things rolling :2thumbsup but you cant take my rep points http://www.lancer-evo.net/community/images/smiles/gayfight.gif (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:emoticon%28%27:gayfight:%27%29)
:evilgrin:

[Rally205]

Ok Caishan. I will kick ass until you get there/pan .:2thumbsup

The only reason that Allan wants cash is because it takes too long on the day to run backwards and forwards to the card machine. He will not take cheques because the last time the MLR had a rolling road day there several people bounced cheques on him. As a business he wants things to run smoothly and get paid at the end of the day.

If mine is finished by then I may send it down with someone else for a test run, if there are places left.

Considering that their standard price for a dyno run is £55 + VAT, I wouldn't be prepared to pay £55 for a group dyno day - £45 is the most I'll go to. (Taking the p a bit I think). I think we need to get the price cleared up ASAP...

Full details of their dyno are available here (http://www.wrc-tech.co.uk/services-rolling-road.htm)for anyone who's interested.

Incidently, the dyno's computer records and remembers your run for all time - so if ever you tune or mod, and go back they'll be able to recall previous runs and compare. Up to a thousand runs per vehicle...

Bearing in mind what Spirit has said, I have to agree with Bern, £45 max for me. I can turn up for 9am, but i'll probably pi$$ off to the racing for a bit if things are going slow. Always happy to go to the pub for some lunch, might it be an idea to let the pub know were coming?

[richy rich]

im not going know but i have to agree with the last 2 statments that does seam to much for 20 odd cars coming and then to say we will have to wait around all day.

? how long does 1 run take

It takes all day with those sort of numbers mate. By the time you get a car on the rollers, anchor it, do a run or two, twiddle a few things here and there - I would say 15-20 mins per car

[richy rich]

as this dyno is only 1 of two in the world with 2400bhp atw capacity

is this not a lot more kit than we need (sorry caishanvr4)we only need 1000bhp ish.

will they be doing anything to the cars or purely running them on dyno there write up say they tell you where you can improve the car, but as someone is doing this who doesn't seem to know what he is doing with our cars????????

why should the price be so high???????

ok so its not a put it on the rollers run it get bhp then get off .

[bernmc]

According to the man, on the day it works like this: Cars lined up on the road outside. 2 cars in the lot in front of WRC. Another car on the ramp being prepped and checked - tyre pressures and fluids. One car on the rollers. I don't think there'll be any car tuning. They'll run the car until they get at least two consistent runs.

Four pages of different graphs (power/torque/boost/AFR etc), car off the rollers and into the lot - driver takes it from there and we all move forward a step.

[Nutter_John]

the place I use in Luton PTS charge £50 per power run , this normaly takes up 30 mins . This consists of 2 or 3 runs with a little time in between each one for the temp to cool down .

I will still be coming over but my clutch is is start to feel like an ICE rink :( so I'm not sure if a run would even register .

Lucky for me a I now know a really good place to get it changed for a fantastic price (WRD) .

Cheers John

o.k so what he quoted you and is it standard clutch going back in as thinking mine going to be needing a change soon

[Nutter_John]

I've been looking around on the web and can not see a heavy duty road clutch for our cars - I'm sure the OEM one can cope with the power once replaced but the car has done a lot of miles hence the slipping


I had a good chat with Wouter and Richy at the weekend and they sure know there stuff , also hell of a lot cheaper than a main garage . The replacement of the clutch take about 8 hrs (imagine that @ £60 per hour+ vat )

Maybe a long way to stoke but the savings make it worth while , also if it helps em get WRD up and running then I'm more than happy


Cheers John

[stuartturbo]

what about the evo one?
i am sure someone has done that

[WildCards]

/Hijack pack it in you lot /Grrr

Can we resolve this issue of cost before we move any further forward, alot of organising has gone into this, with a magazine, butty van and members all willing to turn up but at the minute this will turn out to be a big egg on the CVR4 face if we're not careful.

[soapy1978]

me and my dad still going what eve happans i booked time off work and everything now
so i going what ever the price

[Slimshady]

Ok guys, WTF is going on, this thread has become a bit too messy.

Could someone sensible start a new thread with the current players on the day – my co driver (one with Lotus Calton – not playing on this event) and I am up for it and I am unsure where I stand.

Could we have a current list of participants – current cost – detailed directions etc

This is my Birthday present to myself and the wife (very crusty about me attending this) may have to cancel a babysitter and night out in a top restaurant because I can not guarantee when I will return.

My perception of this event was to gauge your car & not your ego – I feel embarrassed to enter a V6 into this power rush event, I know I will not win, but I would like to gauge the range (would be nice to see a GLS as well).

Please could someone make sense of this and if possible help me keep peace with ma bitch – I would like to get away before 3 ish.

Slim

[Spirit]

An idea I have experienced before is people who need to get away early etc should shout and then the organiser can make a list of who goes in what order based on when they will turn up........easiest way and keeps everyone happy.

[Nick Mann]

Same a the other thread, Andy. This event took place a couple of months ago. Not far for you to go, though, if you want to run on the same rollers as we did.
