I haven't done this before, what happens on the rolling road?

Basically your car is strapped to the rollers and then you get to hear from the outside what your car sounds like as it go's all the way up the rev range, you wince a lot, cross your fingers, wince again and then relax when it survives and returns to it's idle

Rich,
With lots of fuel and smoke and if it rains G@ndy will stay at home

Total so far = 1590 and a half BHP - Looks like it will be a good day :luxhello

Not sure if this will work

Come on Fenland Flat Fours, where are you .

EOEUMC. I guess they will tweak if need and if they have got the time. It does depend on how many cars turn up on the day.

Not at this price, approx £35
All we are having is a power run to see the HP of our cars, this seems a cracking price as I was charged over £70 at Scoobyclinic for 3 runs that also did not include any tweaking.
They will let you know if they see any issues / problems but you will be looking at handing a little more money over (if the time is available) for these to be resolved.

Can't really say, depends what it needs but a rough figure for tuning would be around £60-70 per hour.
You would be best give Allan McKee or Chris Davies a call on 08709911798 to find out the true cost.

I'm not sure of the max number of cars that could run and the clubs members will take priority for these.
You are more than welcome to join us if there is a spare slot available
