Default ESC Rolling Road Day Saturday 19th March

As promised, we have finally set the date for the ESC rolling road day at Torque Devlopments.

http://www.tdi-plc.com/index.php?pge=C_news

We have booked on for the 19th march, the first run will start at approximately 9am. Each run will take approximately 40 minutes per car. For this to work we will need a minimum of 10 cars and a maximum of 12. This is due to the time needed to change the cars over.

Dyno cell http://www.tdi-plc.com/index.php?pge=C_gallery

As part of the run the car will be run in a purpose built dyno cell with two fully trained technicians. At the end you will recieve two print outs one showing your BHP/Torque at the wheels only. And one showing what your car was doing at set points throughout the rev range.

TDI have said they will provide tea/coffee and doughnuts on the day they also are not charging us for the day and all they ask is that each car make a £50 donation to the Great Ormond Street Hospital. This will be done via a just giving page (details to follow)

Now the boring bits : Myself and TDI will not take any responsibilty for your veichle, they can only say that your car will be in the best hands and whilst on the dyno is something dosen't seem right, they will end the run there and then.

You will need to fill in a disclaimer, on this form will also ask for existing modification and anything else you think they should know.

If there are any questions at all please contact myself or Jenkins (aka shaun at TDI) and we will try and answer any questions you might have.

Mike

Nicely done mikef04.
This should be a good day.

Its also worth pointing out that anyone who doesnt want to run is also more than welcome to come down and get involved.
Usually, we have about twice as many spectators as we do dyno runners.
Feel free to use the opportunity as a meet.

Yes AFR is measured so any suspicion of issues and runs will be aborted if deemed terminal. Be aware though this is a rolling road day not a 'fix my car day' .
