Rolling Road day

[Maxxed Ross]

Would anyone on here be interested in a Rolling Road day at Dastek Performance Centre? :D

A few of us on the MG ZR and ZS sites are trying to get the numbers together to run a rolling road day at a discounted price.

Dastek is based in Dalgetty Bay, Fife... and is regarded by many as the top RR centre in the country.

Dates will likely be between the 2nd-4th of November or the 10th-12th of November, price has not been decided yet. Last time round it was £30 for two power runs with a laminated print out of the results.

if any one is interested p.m me as the more the merrier :cool:

[stoney]

any news on this ?

[Big Gordy]

He's away on holiday this week Stoney;) Should be back at the weekend...infact he's coming with me to Knockhill on Sunday so you can ask him then:D

[Maxxed Ross]

sorry for the lack of info guys

The guy that was putting this together seems to have vanished. I'll go put some pressure on him... if needed I'll take the baton and phone them myself!

[ELFMAN]

Ross - could you put me down as a 'possible' for this? Don't know if I'll def. be free on those dates, but like Stoney, I'd be interested to see if all my bits are working OK! If not, I can go to the dealer and ask for a refund........

[T23 GMG]

I'd be interested too. Would like to see what figures my R56 Cooper S JCW comes up with :D

Gillian

[G19RNT]

yea i would b interested to see what bhp my cooper is putting out

[Maxxed Ross]

List updated

The dates aren't set in stone yet so I'll keep you posted

[Maxxed Ross]

Right...

Just off the phone with Mike at Dastek in Dalgety Bay.

I have provisionally booked the date of Saturday 27th October

The terms and conditions of the day are:

Dastek need Minimum 15 Cars Maximum 35 Cars

In Order for us to make the day ours we have to put down a deposit of £150, 3 weeks prior to our date, so that means folk pay £35 on the day, and the deposit is refunded to the payee.

What you get for your £35 is:

2 Power Runs
Laminated Printout
Expert advice if you want to get your car chipped etc.

if the guys on the list from here are still interested can you confirm and I'll update the list

Cheers!

[stoney]

yep thats fine with me i realy want 2 see what it kicks out

my dad my be insrested if he can come along in his vxr monaro if thats ok ?

[Maxxed Ross]

yeah sure, but only if i can have a sit in it! I loooooove them so much!

[stoney]

cool will let u know if he is going 2 come

[Maxxed Ross]

no worries

right what about everyone else on that list???

[Maxxed Ross]

ok sorry to put such a push on this but I need a £10 deposit from everyone going by Friday... PM me and I'll give you the paypal details

After the deposit it'll be £35 on the day... if anyone drops out the cost won't go up which is a bonus

[stoney]

pm sent looking forward 2 this

[Maxxed Ross]

There's a bit of debate about the price so hang fire for now... apparently the £10 won't be returned now making the full price £45

I for one don't want to be putting out nearly £50 for a bit of paper telling me what I roughly knew already.

I'll keep you posted as events unfold!

[MINI William]

im still interested but feel the same as you to be honest

[Maxxed Ross]

right it looks like this will be a no go, we needed 15 deposits by Wed this week and so far there are only 7 confirmed as going, and 3 of them arn't very happy about the price.

I've ha d a tip off of a local place that does it quite cheap so I'll try that next... stay tuned!

[Gorbash12346]

would be interested in this as my car should be sporting a remap with torque limiters removed by then any spaces?

[Maxxed Ross]

loads, that's the problem

We need 15 cars and at the moment have possibly 8

[ELFMAN]

Sorry I've not kept up with this Ross - got v. busy with work & stuff. I'd still be intersested, but I've missed your 'deposit' date. Anyway, it looks like it's on hold at the moment........

For MINIS, maybe we can get an NMS Rolling Road Day in the new year?

[Maxxed Ross]

Well the deadline was extended until tomorrow, but even with you the numbers are still too low for Dastec to even consider us.

I'm rapidly going off this place. Price hikes, numbers hikes and general bad attitude.

Apparently Ecosse the Puggy tuners in BoNess are much cheaper. I recon if you were going to do a RR this would be the place to do it... buy you really need to get the numbers and deposits well in advance - that's what's killed this... it was all too little too late.

[Gismo]

Even though it's a bit of a trek, Minimaster in Penrith would probably give you a good deal :)

[Gorbash12346]

after the service i recieved when they installed a unichip to my zs i'd never use them again just imo

Who you talking about??

[stoney]

thats a shame no prob if u get some where elce let me know as i will be up for going on the RR happy 2 py deposit as well

[Craig]

Who you talking about??


as said before BS, Dastek are the only people in Scotland who deal in the unichip, so I take it he means them... :(

[Maxxed Ross]

Well final word from the guy orginising it, he pulled the plug

Even worse thing is that another club was wanting to run that day so we could have combined the two clubs and had the numbers needed. This has been a mess from start to finish.

I'll be attempting to run one myself but I doubt it'll be at Dastek with those prices

Sorry guys, but I'll keep you all in mind for next time!

[vintageb3]

I believe the only people in the UK Craig...Dastek ARE Unichip I've been told.

[T23 GMG]

Sorry Ross, I've been on holiday for the past 2 weeks and am just logging back on today.

Dastek's attitude sounds rotten anyway, glad their not getting our money now.

OK...keep me informed about a RR day...not my scene really...but would like to know what my car putting out as it sits.

If it's anything like your gob, it's just waste gasses.:eek: :D

A.:D

[vintageb3]

How dare you speak to me in that manner!!!!:mad:

When have I ever....errr...mm.....oh..:confused:

OK...go at it...will hod ma weesht:rolleyes:

[Maxxed Ross]

I thought something very similar myself :mad:

Got myself a new car so a bit of incentive to start again, but it'll probably be next year now when the weather start so get better :cool:

[MINI William]

what about star performance in fife??:D

[Maxxed Ross]

I've heard a few funny stories about dyno results from them. Dastek are by far the most accurate so I suppose they can afford to pick and choose who comes for a run and the numbers

I'll do some investigating and get back to you all though

[MINI William]

all RR days ive been at star have been fine.obv diffrent days you will get diffrent figures due to the surounding temp and when the road was last calabrated.

[vintageb3]

I thik Star Performance is a great idea!!!!

Its only about 3 miles from my door;)

mark

[Maxxed Ross]

all RR days ive been at star have been fine.obv diffrent days you will get diffrent figures due to the surounding temp and when the road was last calabrated.

yeah true, it's more to do with stories about how they run the days and the stress put on the car.

I can only go by what I've been told, and so far it's not been good.

An alleged incident with a scooby, the owner, a wall and the statement "you will be paying for this or else" springs to mind :eek:

[MINI William]

I can only go by what ive seen when ive been there only takes the car up to where its makin power and no more also not running cars if they have been pinking etc.also Sam the dentist (evo) uses them and for us who he doesent know who he is ,is a big name in mapping all over the world for Evos

Well Guys, went or RR day through a friend and would like to recommend Dastek, the guys couldnt have been any more accomodating, and thats not only due to my baby exceeding my expectation! :D

Cost was £35 for 2 runs and results on a laminated printout.

hmm think even if you are younger and have your own teeth they don't treat you very well must be that not female thing....

can honestly say if it ends up being dastek i won't be going. i was not impressed in the slightest with the attitude of their then head honcho paul...
however i hear he has left and started up his own company concept tuning or sumthing... personally i wouldn't relieve myself on him if he was on fire....

[MINI William]

any word of whats happenin yet or is it still in limbo ??:D
