Realllllllly pains me to do this but...

...don't think I'm coming now Not even as a passanger unless someone other than -G- from up here is going as don't know if he is going now

3 reasons I wanted to go was to check car was okay after the spark plug incident, make sure the 238bhp was not a fluke, and also to collect Grahams tent for the lakes Not to mention the social aspect

But after my holiday in OZ, I don't have the spare £100 for the fuel to get there and back So its not that I don't want to or can't be arsed but just can't risk having no money at end of month

However I'm going to try get it RR'd up here at some point. So anyone from the NW want a passenger Saturday?

(Off to go and sulk )

I cant wait for this, will be interesting if my new exhaust and de-cat has added any power!

Just as a prediction from how the car feels to drive, i think torque has been lost a little lower down but maybe a bit more power top end! Saturday will tell.

Hey Sillycar, any chance of getting my faff on there mate? I'm happy to wait til the end or go first if the dyno is got to be set up differently, just want to see how its running with the Blitz ECU and FMIC.

How many runs do you get? Want to check the AFR to see if its safe to run 1.3 bar of boost!

If the answers are all "yes" then count me in mate!

Sweet, nice one mate! Would be good to meet up at last!

So will I be able to do a low boost (1.1bar) and high boost (1.3bar) run do you think? Don't want to get in the way of what you guys are doing!

Sorry can't make this after all the PM bleating I did last week for x2 places, as wifeo could'n't make this tmr - we went last week and her car got good results mine was having some trouble at the top end, so after a few calls to BMW they agreed to check it over (out of warranty period) as I had complained last year that i thought it was a bit muted at low revs.

Hence the car is not back for service yet, so can't come along to recheck it.
Intrested to hear all results though.

Thanks and sorry!

hi guys & girls just to remind you all,this event is this saturday coming 31st of may.
it all kicks off at 10am and will more then likely take us into the afternoon.
if you need contact details they can be found here at the surrey rolling road website Surrey Rolling Road
a map can also be found here Worldwide map search, routing and travel directions from Multimap
by entering the post code kt16 0ee
upon arrival you can see a massive car park just to your right could we all park up their first,
as the first cars will be needed in the compound at 10am.
4 cars are only aloud on site at a time,
this will be done on a first come first serve basis,
you will need to come see me first and i will put you down on my list/board of run order.
once your car has had it's turn could you please drive out of the compound and the next person can come in and wait for their turn,
this will speed up the process ten fold,and save us waiting around.
it will be your responsibility to check the board and see when it is your turn,so please be ready and stay awake lol
i will be updating the board with each cars results and it will be easy for all to see whos turn is next,and all the other results of the day.
the costs are as follows £40 inc vat for each car if only ten turn up and £35 inc vat for each car if we have 11 +
can we all please bring £40 just in case 11 + dont turn up,shoudn't happen as your all confirmed before hand
money will be payed to charlie at the end of your run so if you could pass your dough on to him,cash only please.

Thank you to Lee for going to the trouble of organising the rolling road day yesterday, cheers .

There were some very good results on the day , especially considering the high air temperature yesterday .
