[JJ_]

Yeah its a good idea, I know Rich has something in the pipeline.

[JimTT]

Count me in:buffer: :buffer: :thumb: :thumb: :driver: :car: :driver: :driver:

[db_abz]

Excellent idea,
I think Rich has something coming but I can imagine it's been a busy time for him what with opening the shop and being sponsor for Fast and Modified.

I did but not anymore a few things have to come first just now so this is at the bottom of the list so to speak.

[david g]

I'll be up for this, might have to enquire about a bhp hike for the Leon also :driver: :D

[oldlaw]

Any updates on this?:car:

[WX51 TXR]

Still not heard from Jim - will phone him tomorrow. Looked on Mark IV's forum, their rolling road day thread petered out weeks ago, so I may just suggest we have our own day on the 18th. Will a few of you be prepared to go on the rollers for £20 a shot to make it worthwhile for Jim to host us? I will for sure, but we need about 10-15 to make him happy (going to ask folks on Seat Enthusiasts, ScoobyNet, Briskoda, etc, as well). :)

[JimTT]

Count me in for the rollers i think he can do 4 fwd...A lot of the TT people use star...

You might be OK for the BHP hike as they specialise in VW although I'd give him a call first to see if there is anything you need.

Also, they definately did 4 wheel drive when they were in Glenrothes so I'd expect they would keep that the same possibly even use the same kit that was in Glenrothes :thumb:

The 19th might be a problem for me though as you can see from the link: -

I'll only be enquiring about the re-map as i still dont know who i'll get to do it yet, but i know star are very good, i still have to get exhaust and stuff added first :D

Count me in for the rollers, be interesting to see if i've got more or less than factory claims (hopefully more lol)

[Mike172cup]

I've got a funny feeling I'm doing something on one of those weekends, but if not I'm there... and for on the RR as well :thumb: (I'm convinced my Cup doesn't have the power it should have)

[oldlaw]

Count me in Rich.:thumb:

[Dave KG]

Annoyingly I'm busy both these weekends, or I would have definitely been up for this! :wall: :(

Hopefully nex time...

[donnyboy]

What kind of time will this run on till?

I have to work till 1pm the 18th. Anyone know how long it takes to get from Glasgow to Fife? :(

[donnyboy]

Count me in Rich.:thumb:


Take it you won't have far to travel?? ;)

[Dave KG]

Actually, I think I may get out of my original plans for this... Sorry to ask a really stupid question, where exactly is this planning to be held?

I tell you what I'll do for you Mike I'll see if I can persuade my son (StusV6 on CS) to bring a real car along.................THE VEE eh :D ;)

Got this from the Star site.

Star Performance offer a "Rolling Road Shootout" service to clubs wishing to stage one of these popular events. This is a great chance for your club to get together for an event to see who really can "walk their talk" when it comes to how powerful their car is. We have also hosted inter-club shoot-outs where the friendly rivalry between clubs can be out ot the test.
The shoot-outs are typically hosted on a Sunday with preferably 12 to 16 cars to attend for the event to be worthwhile for your members. Cost varies according to the type of car (4x4's and turbo cars can be more expensive), and number of cars on the day but is usually around £20 each. Each vehicle will receive a colour plot to show Power, Torque and Boost (where applicable).


CLICK HERE TO BOOK A ROLLING ROAD SHOOTOUT AT STAR PERFORMANCE

Bookings will be confirmed by email or telephone - please allow 2- 3 days or telephone us on 01592 655595 for an immediate booking.

[oldlaw]
