Aberdeen Rolling Road day, Sat 15th Sept

[8bit]

Wee bit short notice but there's a seatcupra.net rolling road day at Wallace Performance in Aberdeen on Saturday 15th. Start time is 0900. Maximum number of cars is 30 and there are about 14 cars on the list on SCN just now, although there'll no doubt be the odd drop-out nearer the time.

Prices:

1-10 cars - £50 a car
11-20 cars - £40 a car
21-30 cars - £30 a car

Anyone interested, start a list and I'll update it on SCN.

BUMP - no takers at all?

[Ian974]

Would have been interested now the car is running well, but heading to the Leuchars airshow that day unfortunately.

[Lefty]

4wd dyno?

Yes it is

[istoo]

you thinking of taking the chavmachine Lefty?
If you do i will take mine, reckon we "should" be pretty close.

8bit, i will be on RWD duty this time!

[Lefty]

Sorry, would have loved to come but got the kids all weekend.

[Hollowpockets]

I may turn up, just want to make sure the car isn't running lean more than anything though.

[8bit]

OK so so far thats:

1) istoo - something RWD (guessing M3 based on your profile)
2) Hollowpockets - Sagaris

I'll get these on the list on SCN later today.

[Hollowpockets]

This is for the Sagaris. Should be a healthy noise if not quite the same power as the Noble.

[8bit]

You have a Sagaris as well? I hate you, you're not allowed to come any more

OK updated the list and put you guys down on the SCN list. It's up to 21 cars there now including the PHers.

[Hollowpockets]

Lol, it's seems acceptable to have one or the other but I'm surprised by a few individuals (not here) who think its not to have both. See you Saturday.

[istoo]

sorry 8bit i am out this time.

I just mean as in you jammy bd, two of my favourite cars in one garage and it isn't mine Cool, see you there. Did you get boost leak on the Noble sorted, btw, intercooler was split wasn't it?

No worries bud, I'll take you off the list.

[Hollowpockets]

Yeah the intercooler had a split up one of the welds, got it fixed no problem, went over to the nurburgring and after 5 laps and a 8:07 lap I was getting excited about breaking the 8 minute barrier. Next lap out the main crank bearings let go and the crank bent. It's getting rebuilt just now. think the oil pump failed.

Holy crap, nightmare! Heard of bent valves, rods etc. but never a bent crank, that takes some effort. Hope that gets sorted soon, looking forward to seeing/hearing the Sagaris in the meantime.

[Ian974]

Might look at heading along to this now, need to check the weather for leuchars I think!
Not a definite yes yet, but you might get one more on the list.

[Ian974]

I'm a yes now, can't make it down the road for the day now anyway, still space for mine?
Cant remember what order they generally run it in, 4wd-fwd-rwd?

Re. running order, not sure but usually they end up just doing the cars as they turn up. I'll be surprised if as many as above show up, I'll be there pretty sharp anyway and likely to be there most of the day.

[8bit]

Not a bad day out, nice to see the other PHers that came along. Think everyone was pretty happy with their results?

Forgot my decent camera but got a couple of amateur snaps with the phone:











Hopefully see yous at a run or something again soon.
