Exclamation New 4 wheel drive Rolling Road in Warrington

I am told that a new 4 wheel drive rolling road is opening up in Warrington in the next 2 - 3 weeks. Give them a little time to get sorted and we can have a local power run session perhaps, hire it for some tuning / setting up work, etc.

Costs seem likely to be around £35 a run for a power run, possibly £30 a go for over 10 cars on an organised day...


My contact can keep us informed as and when it gets going and any offers!

ciao for now

System r

21/22 Aston Court, Kingsland Grange, Warrington
01925 289100

Opening around 1 April ( no, don't laugh or point! )


I'd suggest our contacts suggest a free or £10 run for the opening event to get them some publicity and / or credibility ... we know most of our cars powers ( ) so can see if they are any where near!

Absolutely Paul old bean, I suggest a trip to Cheltenham to Power Station for bump steer mod and any other stuff you wish - uprated anti-roll bars and polyurethane bushes all round, anti lift kit, springs and of course a good 4 wheel alignment set up.

I used them for the bump steer and alignment ( having done the roll bars & drop links, anti-lift kit, springs/dampers myself ) and was well impressed.

Not a bad town to visit for shops etc. too!

Default Auto on rolling road ?

Does anyone know if it's possible to check the power/torque on a WRX with auto transmission, on a rolling road?

I'd like to see what I'm running at before starting any mods.

is it not possible just to put it in in one of the "numbered" "gears" instead of drive to measure it?

will have to post about it and do some research for you.
