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

Put my name down for that

to start us off

I'll come, no doubt Julian and John WRX would like to see what they are pushing out too... better ask them!

My clutch has started slipping so might as well destroy it on the rollers:D

Anyone thought to ask what power these rollers will take?

Hopefuly well over 400 bhp / 400 lbft or we may brake them!!! ;)

Where about in Warrington?

cheers

yes where ? :)

on woolston grange, near where i work at the big safeway depot.

going to do some investergating work on behalf of neil and mines "contact"!

Put me down too! And possibly Hanley and BarryL. I reckon Ive only got about 230 though :cry: Decat downpipe might help ;)

21/22 Aston Court, Kingsland Grange, Warrington

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!

I'd come down to watch, but I dont need to spend £30 to tell me my standard WRX's figures - I just need to spend £3.90 on a copy of What Car :D

As Yoza may say --- Ya Hom!

Get some mods done and get down to support the posse,

You never know you may get some good figures!

All in good time Mr Neil sir... Need to recover from the dent in wallet from buyin the chuffer first - then its springs and brakes getting uprated to begin with... Performance mods to follow :D But I'll still come down to watch your car blow the rolling road up :D
P

its much better watching Neil cover the entire M1 with Oil a la James Bond style:D

Oi *Sonic*, get yer sub 300 horses there !!! Ya dirtehh monkehhh! ;)

___ a quick slippy getaway!
Still over 360 bhp and over 325 lbft! :p


.... sonic' ??? New name ??

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!

i'll pop along and see how he's getting on next week!

may have "Banzi" magazine coming to cover the RR day as well.

and also may have a low mileage 3 door "standard as the day she was born" cossie, and a skyline coming to boost the numbers!

READ THE THREAD PROPERLY BONEHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Don't you ever sleep !!!

thanks Julian.

P.S. I will make it to M'head one day, too many commitments at home at the mo..

Just become a Granddad, wife's gone to Scotland to be with my daughter, left me with my 4 boys and my Great Dane.!!!!
