South West r/r day. Anybody interested?

[Marc]

After talking with a few people on the board, it has become apparent that a r/r day, similar to the one in December would be a good idea.

I think everyone was happy with the organisation and result which came from Janspeed in Sailsbury, aswell as its location. Of course, other location reccomendations are welcome.

Janspeed is located in Sailsbury, wilts.


This thread really is just to get an idea of numbers so that i can let Janspeed know, and get a price

[Jez]

Try not to blow your intake welds this time :wack:

I'll try not to - they've been together longer than they ever have in the past :)

I was down at Janspeed on Saturday - was going to run it then but my CDI ignition failled while it was idling in the queue... bloody thing - I hate intermittent faults - its all fine again now and I've not changed anything...

[h0us3y]

would also like to get my car on the rollers. thats if it ever works properly again

[Hallsy67]

mines pretty stock but wouldnt mind a run :nod:

[Ramps]

If they can do auto's (and I've got a gearbox in one of the S13's) I'll be up for it :thumbs:

[barryjdart]

I'm tempted. (If they can do as Ramps said - auto)

[rowey]

Count me in :thumbs:

[Nicely]

[Mikesx13]

[MaLicE]

gooowaaan then i will have a go too :D

[Marc]

When would this be?
i cant promise a date as yet, but i was aiming for april time, that way it gives everybody a bit of time to "tweak" a bit.

[winty]

would also be up for this
engine will of been run in by then so it'd be nice to c what its making
count me in:thumbs:

[steve 1200]

As long as mine is all run in and ok i would like to know what its pushing out so put me down

[slider200]

i'll be up for a trip out but i'll leave the rollers for a while, be good to meet some local owners!

[justbutts]

i will be up for another one, i have added loads more goddies since i did my run there in december with only a cat back system air filter got 193.7 bhp at the wheels. and it was a really good day out:thumbs:

[Sinbad]

Yes Please matey! Put me down!:D

[BigD]

me mate, oh an get a less shakey pic, an il make you a sig :thumbs:

[Marc]

Ok ive just spoken to Janspeed, and they cant it us in until the 5th of August

So we have 3 options

1 – find another r/r that may book us in earlier
2 – take the 5th of August and wait for that
3 – they can fit us in any day in the week with about 2 weeks notice, so if we choose to all have a day off of work we can get in a lot sooner.

Its up to you guys.

marc

[slider200]

i ain't really fused i work weekends anyway day in the week would be better! but yeah i just need some notice so i can put a request in

[Sinbad]

The other option is that the garage where I take my S13 is having their rolling road installed in May! They said they will be looking for groups such as us to hire it out for such days!

In Bournemouth!

I am up for either, I will enquire if anyone wants to do this?
Sorry to jump in, might just be a good alternative to get it in earlier?
Let me know!:thumbs:

Will happily do it in the week if everyone would still prefer the Janspeed day!

[Tom16v]

Try interpro i reckon!:D

[topbuzzuk]

i know a place, i dont know if they are booked up or not. they hire the RR out for half day or full day and they do club shoot outs(£25 a car i think) heres the link http://www.slarkraceengineering.co.uk/rollingroad.htm its about 10-15 miles from salisbury, London road direction. good chance they arnt booked up

[Sinbad]

Well I am up for it anywhere :D (within reason!) just put my name down whoever organises it and if anyone wants me to speak to my place let me know:thumbs:

[SteveB]

i spoke to interpro this morning and they can do any sunday in july. its £30 a run on the day, and they need £450 to cover the day. if you go for this one, speak to chris and say you spoke to me.

steve

[Nicely]

I won't be going to Interpro. :)

[Pete C]

I won't be going to Interpro. :)

Do you mind if ask why out of interest Christian? I know there are a couple of staff there who have questionable knowledge, but I've always been quite impressed with Dave, the guy who actually does the runs, he seems to know his stuff :)

[Nicely]

Just personal preference. Bit of a trek for me (as Salisbury would be for others). Also, I find their figures to be a bit wayward.

I know every RR has its pro and cons, baving found a very good company locally (Janspeed), with consistent @ wheel figures and believable graphs, I'm inclined to stick with them. :) The £20 per run also plays a factor...

[Jez]

but I've always been quite impressed with Dave, the guy who actually does the runs, he seems to know his stuff :)

Same here, also RR result should only really be compared on the same set of rollers. Theres too many variables to make meaningful comparisions between results from different rollers.

Having said that - they are more expensive and further away from me...

[barryjdart]

I, for one, would be quite happy to wait until August for Janspeed.

[Marc]

just a thought then, we could book the aug date as the main r/r day for SXOC at janspeed, and if we can get 8 people to do a day in the week as a midpoint they can do it for £25 per person.

[Moonhead]

i'm off on my hols on the 5th aug, but the week day may be a go-er depending on work

[Richy_Boy]

I'd be interested, although salisbury is quite a trek from Reading :wack:

There's a company in Reading that have a rolling road, I'm sure they'd be happy to test our cars and hand out print outs (Clifford Cox Engineering).

I'd also be interested in a run on petrol and on LPG to see what differences there are throughout the rev range...

Rich

[dragon dude]

im interested let me know when and where

[JimbobS]

I heard there's a Nissan specialist in Bournemouth getting a rolling road in the next few weeks :)

[FIGJAM]

Didnt even knw there was a Nissan specialist in Bournemouth sounds very interesting do you know who it is???

[babe]

i will come say hi when u go as not far from me

[JimbobS]

I don't know if they're listed as specialists but it's Triton out near the airport, my mate goes to college with their apprentice, seems pretty sound!

[SMITTY]

My s14a is fairly standard but would be good to get some numbers before anymore work. dependant on date and price.

[justbutts]

i would be intrested in rr day cant wait to see what my new mods have got me :thumbs:

[JRhys]

Im defintly up for it !!

[AndyS14200SX]

Ill be up for that, count me in matey :D

[mammoth]

is anyone gonna organise a venue/date then?
ill sort the guys out from down this way once a date and venue are fixed :)

[Channie]

hmmmm... me come play :nod:

[Marc]

guys, ill get phoning around for a day at whatever place will take all of us at shortish notice as soon as i get back from holiday in 2 weeks.:thumbs:

if anybody wants to ask thier local place on my behalf before then, feel free.

just let me know the outcome, and i will update this thread as soon as i get back :thumbs:

[mammoth]

one of the plymouth rollers should be easy to organise but its not very central to the area.
channie dont you know andy at a.p. pretty well?

[Channie]

me know him... He said £25 a shoot. Jus need definate numbers and a day peeps can attend... :thumbs:

[Garysx]

i'll go dont know about rr as i have no car:mad: .......yet;)

[ben200sx]

ill pop down but might not put o r/r might blow up

[mammoth]

wont blow up :no:
you sound like steve now :p

[ben200sx]

its running not so good

[VoodooRhythm]

Aug at Janspeed would be good for me, would wake it a weekend trip back to the misses' rents. Aug would also give me time to sort the dodgy clutch and get a proper exhaust fitted.

[dj_C]

August at Janspeed sounds good. Will have run in the new engine by then, and also have a few of the new bits properly sorted... Would be good to compare to my last readout there, which was pretty disappointing.

[dragon dude]

hi il be interested just let me know when and where

[winty]

i'll definatly be up for this as car will be run in by then
have done 150 miles so far so good:D
put me down for this as a definate:thumbs:
in aug at janspeed that is:)
