I bought Autotrader at the weekend and saw an advert in by Well Lane Turbo centre in Batley, West Yorkshire. It said Granada Men & Motors were going to be there and if you fancied it to bring your own car along if you have something interesting.

I just wondered if anyone was going to go and put there scoob on the rollers?

Did you see the program on Friday at 10pm?

It's on every week now for 13 weeks and I should be on in about 3 weeks.

My car is also in the end titles (well, the wheels are - on the rollers)

There was another white scoob on on Friday doing 1/4 miles, anyone know who it was?

I'd love to go this weekend and see what difference my HKS headers have given but I'm away unfortunately

Never mind. Might see if my Bro is up for it though!

Rich

 

I don't have it on my T.V. so I won't be able to see it.

I might pop along and have a nosey on the Sunday though.

Damian.

 

How much do they charge for one run??

Rich

 

Rich,

The ad does not state prices. I presume it will be the same price as when Rich Wild went on so maybe he can enlighten us?

Damian.

 

What time do we need to be there for?

if i do get on rollers, what should my estimated bhp be?

226bhp standard, - tommorrow - TSL dp / full Blitz! (260ish???)

 

Hi,

For the TV shoot it was FREE!

Normally when we do RR days it is £20 per car.

If you go on your own privately, it is £75 + VAT, or it was last time I went.

Cheers

Rich

 

Never seen it... is it popular??

Dont have time to watch TV, let alone Sky (is that whats its called these days?)

RW's should get about 10bhp less with the HKS headers - i.e. about 8bhp (yes 18bhp-10bhp)........

 

Hey, Steve,

I'm telling you there is definately a gain. I can feel it.

There's also a great change in the noise. Car sounds more like a Kawasaki now than a Subaru. Very quiet cruising, no burble, just raucous noise on full throttle.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say I'm knocking on the door of 340bhp now!!

We'll see in a couple of weeks!

Rich

 

340bhp - yahhh think so... hmmmmmmm... If I didnt know that you could possibly speak to Well Lane I'd have money on that claim.. Then again you'd probably be running at 1.7 bar of boost to ensure it happended - so I wont....

The only way to know is to do a swap on cars for a while - then you'll know what a fast car feels like...... (and you'll get the proper tuning bug - i.e. buy yerself a proper ECU replacment..)

thats if you can be bothered waiting for the turbo to spool up... you might have to wait some time... by which point Grandma with a Zimma frame has got ahead of you on the pavement....

 

Do you need to pre book to go on the rollers, and will there be anything going on for an enthusiastic newbie?

 

ahh, i thought it was a case of anyone could just turn up and jump on the rollers for a set fee.Looks like i was wrong

Last one was pretty boring t.b.h. unless you was called Rich Wild

Rich.

 

what time are men and motors getting there on sunday???
