U WOT - potentially they could be finished by 2pm, so it might be a bit late...fatman on this thread is the North Hants Organiser though, so he might be able to let you know of any events coming up?

<sigh> ...I remember when I got my first scoob - you won't stop grinning for years!

POC I was going to ask what car you have got to bring to the meet, but you would probably sold it and bought a new car by tomorrow morning so well wait and see what you arrive in

Len what are you implying about my Scooby that I require other people to bring spare parts along to keep my Scooby running. If anyone going from the Southampton area thats able to bring a car trailer along it might be appreciated after my run

See you in the morning Colin.

I'll join the Pompey crew - which way are you planning to go? I'm picking Peanuts up in Gosport first so if you're going towards the M3 it would be nice to join you on the M27 to save me coming back on myself, but if you're planning to go up the A3(M) then that's just hunky dory and we'll meet u at the Optimax stn.

Adam - I'll try to fill your place with anyone that turns up, I'll let you know after the day if we've managed to recover your deposit. I hope that's ok

Anyway, sadly my scoob is f**ked So to spot me tomorrow look out for a sexy Land Rover Discovery - covered in mud with cool wheels and tyres I think the problems just a throw over from the accident, but I don't think it's safe to drive really, so he's having a rest in the garage until we can afford some professional help...

Oo, they've been unable to get a burger van, but are getting supplies in for about 10:30/11ish so that sounds good to me

See you all tomorrow

So, here we go - Flame time.

So, what was going on with the torque readings ?

Mine was down 72lbs from what it should be, and 63lbs down from my last RR day at PE in the hot weather....

And everyone elses was wrong too...

Was there equipment faulty ? did someone press the wrong button ?

mmmmmmmm,...

Anyway, my new Dump Valve is bloody great :-)

Nice to see everyone again, and new faces....

A Good day out....

From memory this is a MAHA rolling road the same as Star Performance in Fife......not known for giving an easy result

What method of rpm pick up did they use ?

Rolling speed, drive test at 3k RPM.. Couple of the RPM readings looked a bit suspect though, think one car made peak power at 5200?? looked like 6500 to me..

Sorry Len your going to have to put your hand in your pocket again I'm affraid

I was only 64 lbft down on my PE result

Andy ( ADP ) you have got to remember were not hardened convertible drivers like yourself, that reminds me I'm due for my annual hair cut

Good to meet some of you guy's that I haven't met before, Frank sorry you wasn't closer to 400 bhp but I know your time will come to join the 400+ club.

Cheers again Chris and Jen for organising the RR day.

Colin ( purple Scooby 257.5 at the wheels )

Andy F get back in your Scotland section this is for ***** Southerners with LOW BHP Scoobys only

Thanks again to Jen for organising the day.

Here's my sorry tale, Nathan.

I'm still confused as to how I have lost 11BHP since fitting a full decat and upgrading from Tek1 to Tek 2.5! Oh, and losing 16lb-ft of torque too. Further, air temp was 11 degrees C lower today than last time I ran at Tuning Japanese too!

On the way home car pulled like a train with the usual 16.9psi of boost, so I'm wondering..............

lol mine pulls well as well. Pulls much more than 296lbs of torque (well thats what i thought).

Have to say i was disappointed with my results, but will try and get down to P.E and see what they say.

Went to Tuning Jap in feb and their results were pretty accurate, but everyone lost torque today. So many people!

Thanks for organising it though Jen, was still good to meet everyone

Colin,

Dont think I'll bother just for 1 bhp,I'll wait until you catch up on torque first!

Sounds like complete **** to me [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I know how much more difficult it is to keep up with you now

Sounds like a good day out, shame the results were off for everyone.

Was a good day apart from the cold.Good to put names to faces.

Some of the figures were a bit 'strange' i must admit but i was quite happy with my 255 bhp at the flywheel and 245 ft lb's torque.

Perhaps it was a curse of the 'landies' that caused the problems

A big thanks to Jen and Chris.

steve.
