If you live oop North and like me have been wondering how much power your car is putting down then this might be a good opportunity...

A club called 'Kroozin North West' are low on numbers for a shootout at Awesome GTI in Irlam (just west of Manchester M44 5AH).
Give Awesome a call on 0161 776 0777 to book your details and dont forget to mention 'kroozin north west'.
Its £35 for 3 power runs on the rollers with graphs provided.

I will be there and it would be good to see some more TVRs

Hi dbv8

I'm keen but need an early getaway (before 1230) as I'm working at 2pm. Just been on to Awesome who asked me to speak to one of the kroozin north west organisers. You know any of them - can you give me a number?

I'm guessing most of the cars running will be FWD but need an idea of how many will be there to see if it's a goer for me...

Cheers!

I will ask the organisor to check but it shouldnt be a problem.
Im busy too and have been told im on the rollers 1st at 9am.
Everyone else is there for the day (only 9 or 10 in total) so it shouldnt be a problem to get you on 2nd.

what is the value in doing three runs? Ok, two for benchmark or if you want to do different things like DB?

Cheers Nicola - will do. Spoke to Awesome yesterday and one of the guys on your site. They were both helpful and it looks I'll be able to get an early run, just after Derek. Gonna book up later - see you there!

Just rung them and booked up.

Thanks to you and Conrad for letting me go on first. I wouldn't have been able to make it happen otherwise. Will be bringing a mate along too - look forward to seeing everyone!

Ran the car on the rollers this morning after the 4.5 Cerbera which ran a healthy 360 bhp.

Mine produced 230 at the wheels then 294 whith the nitrous activated.
Im getting Eann Whalley to fit the torqueflow induction to find maybe 30 bhp and im dissapointed with the nitrous as the jets i was running should have given 125bhp but i only got 64.
This needs to be sorted asap!

Watch this space for video clips of mine and the Cerbera
