Ireland has only 1 4wd rolling road and that is near you in Cookstown. If you join the ISDC. Irish Subaru Driver's Club we will be going there next month and instead of the usual £50 fee we will be getting a club deal of about £20 depending on the numbers interested.

There's a very interesting article on rolling roads in this months Car and car conversions. One interesting point is that the results of the RR the bhp and torque should be the same at 5252Rpm because
bhp= torque*revs/5252 .
So if you ever see a RR result and the bhp and torque don't match at 5252rpm then the result is inaccurate.
A few tips....
Run the car on the fuel you normally use(i.e. if you use super then stick to super or if you use unleaded with octane booster then stick to this).Make sure the car has plenty of fuel..
Make sure your tyres have plenty of air because the rolling road has two contact patches with the tyre so they will heat up quickly.
Check oil,water and all the fluid levels..
If the car has a modified ecu make sure the guy knows how to program it.
If you do go to one would you post the results as it would be interesting to see..
