Show: south west rr meet at ray west! 2nd feb

[ozonehostile]

if people could be bothered to travel to herefordshire, theres a place called saxon motorsport with a proper dyno and tuning services, best thing is they are a diesel specialist, they run a team of diesel bmw touring cars. might get in touch with them to see if they could do a club discount for a future rr day

[David]

Yeah they can have alook at my head of shite then

[Just Sean]

That would be best bet I think mate. I'd travel to that one!

[sam]

Ill keep an eye out chaps and ozone thatll be a good shout

[ozonehostile]

http://www.saxon-motorsport.co.uk/rollingroad.html

this is there site, they say £60 per hour for tuning, but that is just one car, so il enquire about how much a club shootout would be including some tuning services for people who want it.

ive been down there a couple of times and their very professional about it

[Mrs puglove]

The thing that was a bit off was some got more runs than others as well when it should of been 4 each really

[ozonehostile]

Yeah that was a bit weird. Not very happy that they took my car straight off the rollers and turned it off, I always let It
Cool down for a few minutes after a run, especially after one like that. Not very proffesional atall

[puglove]

I also know of a RR in chipping sodbury thats supposed to be pretty good sam

[sam]

Ill have a look guys, ray west is deffinetly a no no

[Ricky]

Yeah that annoyed me, barely even let it reach idle before turning it off, and turning the fan off. Cutting all airflow to a car that's just been maxed out is not good, especially for the XUD's which can't cope with overheating. Mine was over 90 when I got in it.

[ozonehostile]

Yeah I certainly gave mine a nice gentle drive home. Il get it up on stands 2moz and check all my hoses as I now have a small oil leak :/
Pleased with the fact that it didn't pop anything off though, the engine rebuild seems to have been a success haha

[Ricky]

Just glad mine survived the ordeal haha

[ozonehostile]

Yeah thats a bonus. My rev counter also stopped working earlier today, it works until the engine warms up then just cuts out. Reckon I've got a dodgy sensor? thats my reckoning since the down pipe passes so close to it

[MIKE-FORD]

mans had email back from long life to ring them monday to arrange sortin somethin out for me so will keep all posted if anythin does

[Just Sean]

A refund and then listen to what everyone ehas said about speaking to mrwhippy/tb/pro Steve or someone on the forum!

[David]

I think they said the re map he had will be 120bhp and it was like 92

[David]

Oh ok

[MIKE-FORD]

yeah matey said map should take it to 112 to 120 and as i had full system and decat done by them aswell spending that much i was pissed off so sent email and got a number to ring monday to arrange gettin this sorted as only hit 92bhp :/

[rocker8742]

Will get my pictures up on Monday probably lads

[Dum-Dum]

Novatec in slough do club shoot out days and have a 2wd dyno dynamics rolling road. IIRC last time I asked they said £25pp and they'd put on some pizza too.

[Kwik]

dum thats's a winner so much closer was a 240 mile round trip only got 2 runs and it seemed like they just wanted to take our money and get us out not help if that makes sense.

Still a good day though just need to find a better location with same peeps

[k3ogh]

who has the video of davids car spitting flames? need to see that

me il upload once I've stopped being hungover :/

If there's food involved I will travel but most likley turn up

[Poodle]

Yeah big thanks for setting this up Sam, pity the dyno guys were a bit shit.

Ozone, that sounds pretty spot on, be nice to go somewhere competent.

[k3ogh]

they could of put a bit more effort in they seemed a bit miserable really! but i was happy

[sam]

No worries chap well go to a better one next timw though dude

Yeah true they should off tbh, I no you were after all 5 hp over standered haha

[Pipps]

I was fortunate enough to be second on the rollers. Here's the vid:



And here's the print-out:


I was disappointed with the result; I thought I was running over 160bhp.

Then on the way home I heard a pop and a whoosh, and lost all turbo - the boost pipe had come off!

I dropped into Kris B's and he sorted it promptly. Now firmly reconnected and tested with a drive to Scotland and back.

Hoping the 149bhp reading was just due to the boost pipe leaking (before coming off) during the rolling road run.

So I'm looking for another rolling road session as soon as possible.

Either Hereford, Chipping Sodbury, or Slough are great.
