With the up and coming trackdays ahead and a few of the Scottish members modifying their cars, now would be an ideal time to see what gains have been achieved.

Same as usual I need at least 8 to 10 provisional verbal bookings.

Same venue as the last time at Star Performance in Glenrothes.

This is open to anyone, who has a car to run. If anyone has contacts with the Elise club could they pass this offer on to them.

Dear john we just phoned star performance the other day there to see what price,was quoted £75 for the rolling road.
what price for a group??
we are intrested..

John Phillips

We are looking at £30 for two power runs. This is the price that we have paid the last twice we have been there.

I think, although do not quote me, the £75 is for more than just power runs??

...John

John Phillips

I have a healthy list for this now. Although there is not a max amount, let me know soon if you intend to come along, if you have not already done so.

Thanks...John

John, can't say yes or no, still waiting for Subaru to sus out my lack of power problem, however if they manage it before the end of the month I will be there.

DRMOTORSPORT

John,

I'll be there, but will probably bring an EVO6 to see what it does.

David

John Gorman

John, I will probably make it to the R/R day.

SEE YA

JOHN.

John Phillips

I've confirmed the booking with Jim at Star Performance. He will open up around 10am.

So far we have the following if all turn up

5 UK turbo's
6 Imports
2 Evo 6's

For anyone travelling from the south we can meet at the MacDonalds at around 09:15 to 09:30 so that we can get some breakfast or a coffee before heading up.

If anyone has any further queries, just drop me a line.

T-uk,
yep MY00, ran it at Star performance near the end of last year, and only produced 204.5 bhp and 209 torque, both well up the rev range compared to book figures. Have given the power graph to a dealer who is supposd to be speaking with Subaru about what to do (the worst thing is it appears if anything to be getting slower ). Will give them until the start of next week, then phone up and check.
I have been told of a few other people who appear to be having similar lack of power with their MY00s.
Will let you know if anything happens.

taz

Robertio,

What dealer are you dealing with?. Is it the one in Edinburgh as I have had a problem with them and my 97 sport is doing the same thing.

ps i will try andget to the rr day on the 25th.

T-uk

robertio,
think you should go to the r/r day so
we can see what these my00 are putting out, don't usually go by r/r figures,but with
same road,day and operator it gives a comparison between cars.is your car modified and do you know the figures of any my98/99
cars on stars r/r?
just out of interest what's your clutch like?

Rico

John

hopefully you're already expecting me and my mate Graeme at Star in our 2 UK cars ?

John, sorry for sort of hi-jacking your thread on this , everyone else: just keep on posting on the original topic; but in answer to the questions:

Taz - The dealer is S&S in Ayr.

T-uk - Engine is standard (run on SUL (except for £10 I had to put in last month, but kept below 3000rpm until it got some SUL), the car is now on 17" which will make a difference, I suppose I could always dig out the 16" and put them on for the run. In order to go up I have to get the day, or half of the day off of work, so I don't really want to do it if all I am going to get is bad news Don't know anyone who has run a std MY98/99 at Star, so if anyone has let us know what figures you got. The clutch has always made 1st gear a bit of a chore, until the car has warmed up, was very bad and juddering back in December, it went in for its 7,500 service, and was back to normal when I got it back. So am waiting to see what happens this time as the miles creep up.

John Phillips

No problems. Either meet at MacD's at about 09:15 or at Star from 10:00 onwards.

The last count showed 16 cars attending.
Hopefully all going well there should be a racing Land Rover attending, which has produced some figures the MY00's should look out for.

T-uk

rub salt into the wound why don't you!!!
it's one thing being beaten by scoobs n evos
but a land rover,no wonder robertio is not going.as the man said sorry for the hi-jack.

Gordon, if I am going you can follow me up, assuming you can find your way to Glasgow

Alternatively visit:

Gordon Shek

John

I would love to come but being a muppet I don't know where Glenrothes is. Is there still places? I don't mind if it's fully booked but can you let me know either way? Contact me through my e-mail address please. Either that I can follow someone up, I'm from Costa Del Ayr BTW.

Gordon Shek

Robertio

When/How will I know if you're going or not?

John Phillips

Gordon, there are places left so come along.

If you are unsure I could meet you at the BP petrol station at Livingston around 09:00. The one just off the M8 (Deer park services)


I feel bad about my comments on the MY00's with Land Rovers...I better not mention the montego

hi John

can you add me to the list please

sam

dougies549

sam have you been hidding recetly

Gordon Shek

John

I think I'm going up with Dougie. Can you reserve me a place. This will be the first Rolling Road that I've ever been on so don't expect huge BHPs. Anyway, I don't think anyone has ever seen me before so I think it's time to show face and reveal myself. You'll know it's me once you see the car. Trust me.

djd

if there are still some places i wouldnt mind coming along too.

Sam Elassar

hi dougie
i have not been hidding just very busy, trying to get the car ready for Donnington , it should be an awesome weekend

i will see you guys at star hopefully and i will show you what real subarus produce

Just to say, I will definately not be going, got a phone call from S&S, they have lost my powerchart, so will have to fax through another copy tomorrow am. Another one of his customers is getting their car rolling roaded during the next couple of weeks, MY00 I think, someone on here I assume? And as I understand it nothing is being done until after then . So all enjoy your day, esp. with the Landrover

dougie+dee-dee

Robertio,

We also bought our car from S & S. John probably means us when he was speaking to you about the rolling road as we were speaking to him at the weekend about it.

take it we wont see you there then?

dougie.
