Rolling Road Day, Dastek Dalgetty Bay

[Maxxed Ross]

Hi guys

I've managed to get a good discount on rolling road and mini rolling road days at Dastek over in Fife.

For those who don't know Dastek they are thought to be the best and most reliable in the business. Any time I've been you always get fantastic advice once you've been on the rollers

Numbers, I need more than 10 names for a mini day and they have dropped the numbers needed for al full day to just 15! This will be a joint day between a few local and national owners club, so far Road and Track Scotland, theMGZS, SIDC, RB320oc and NMS are all involved - so this one is definately looking good!

The reason for this thread is to work out rough numbers. Dates will be arranged after the new year but expect to be around lete Feb.

I'll find out some prices too, but I think it's around the £45 mark for 2 power runs... and you even get fed at lunchtime :thumbs up:

[Big Gordy]

OK guys/gals Ross wants to know what dates are the best for the folks wanting to go to this. He has a choice of March 8th, 14th, 15th and 21st:thumbs up: I'll update the first post with the dates as you decide:clap:

[stoney]

21st would be best for me

[ELFMAN]

Hi Ross, is it too late to put my name down for this? Couldn't have made it in February. Depending on the date in March, I think I could make it now, and if Stoney'll lead the way, I won't get lost. Be interested to see how much the wee motor's putting out. Probably about 48bhp.... but it'll sound good doing it! (but not as loud as Stoney's).

[Big Gordy]

I think its OK Elfman:thumbs up:
I was talking to him tonight and I think he's aiming for Saturday the 21st of March.......but don't quote me on that just yet:moonie:

[ELFMAN]

Cheers!

[rosssp]

i think i'll come along if its cool. not gonna take part but would like to watch.
:popcorn:

[Big Gordy]

Should be OK rosssp:thumbs up:
You better not eat my sandwich at lunchtime tho:knife::smilewinkgrin:

[MINI William]

Might pop along aswell

[rosssp]

I'm sure i can resist eating your sandwich. Just wanting to see how the cars get put through there paces, booking mine in soon at Dastek for some work and a remapping session on the rollers. :D

[Maxxed Ross]

Sorry about the delay in getting more info on this... turns out the guy I was talking to about it didn't get any of the messages I sent while offshore... but I got him on the phone today

right, that's us booked on for the 21st of March

Prices are as follows and include a print out and refreshments while we're there

10 cars = £45

15+ cars = £35

25+ cars = £30

Since we should have at least 15 cars it looks like £35. I'll be setting up a paypal account soon to take deposits. I just need to clarift how much of a deposit they need... as I'm sure the last time I was there it was a fair chunk of the final price


That ok with everyone?

[ELFMAN]

I thought I was on the list (see posts on page 2...) seems not. Anyway my car might well now be down at Lohen on the 21st, so you don't have to add me. Have a Rockin' Rollin' day! And don't forget the earplugs when it's Stoney's turn. C'mon the MINIS!!!

[rosssp]

what time is all the fun and games happening, just so i don't miss any of it?
:lol:

[Big Gordy]

Don't know Ross:blush:
I'll need to get him to pull his finger out regarding this.........its only 2 weeks away:eek:

[Craig]

I'll be along to see the fun unfold. :thumbs up:

[rosssp]

Still no starting times? Not far away to the event! :eek:

[Big Gordy]

I know:eek: Kids today seem to have no sense of urgency about them:frown: I've raised the subject twice now:ragin:

[Big Gordy]

OK can I get confirmation of who, on NMS, are DEFINATELY going to partisipate in this rolling road day:thumbs up:
So far as I can see from the posts on here its only me,V11kae and Stoney who are going on the rollers....is this correct:confused:
We've to be there at 8.30am:eek: with the first car on the rollers at 9am:thumbs up:
To be on the safe side I would suggest bringing 45 quid just incase only 10 cars turn up:frown:

[Maxxed Ross]

I'll update the first post, but everyone please note:

We need to be there and ready to fill out the paperwork at 8.30am sharp

This is to allow time to make up a running list, get payment sorted and have the first car on the rollers at 9am.

FWD will be going on first

There are a few house rules, which I will explain on the day. The only one you need to worry about before you arive is to remember and drive carefully and quietly to the garage. It's in an industrial estate and if people start being silly on the roads around it can cause all sorts of hassle

A few of us will be meeting at Falkirk stadium at 8am to convoy through

[AndyP & Lenore]

Guys, I'm not saying she won't be there, but V11KAE hasn't been on the site since 23rd December last year.:sad:

A.

[japper]

Ross,

I'm just checking (her) plans for Sat.:smilewinkgrin:

Seriously though is there anyway of knowing if i can run in the morning so that i can get away around 1.00pm.:thumbs up:

I'll confirm by Monday if i'm a definate or not.

Thanks,

[Big Gordy]

The plan is all front wheel drive cars on first followed by rear wheel drive then the big boys ie four wheel drive on last:thumbs up: So most mini's could be away by lunchtime if they so desire:smilewinkgrin:

[stoney]

i take it this is on sat then ???? if so i should be there just depends on work !!!!!

[Big Gordy]

Ehhh yeah:confused: Its on Saturday to suit you:eek: so don't gimmie that work nonsense laddie:ragin:

[stoney]

well a big thanx to ross for doing this to day :thumbs up::thumbs up:


had a good time


a wee vid of my mini geting dyno'd

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g251/s700ony/th_100_2680.jpg (http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g251/s700ony/?action=view&current=100_2680.flv)

have to say tho i was a bit dissapointed as it only made 209.9 bhp and it is said the the jcw kit i have is 200 bhp i can not see this being right i think it must be less more like 195 bhp at the most !!!! for the jcw kit :shut up:

[MINI William]

What sort torque you get stoney??

[Big Gordy]

Well Mutley was victorius today:thumbs up: Most improved over standard award:cool:
Max.power at wheels......94bhp@5768rpm
Max.power at engine......127.6bhp@6333rpm
Max.Torque..................115.8lbft@4937rpm
Thought the hype with the MTH chip would have given me a bit more but I'm happy with those results:yes nod: Sounds sweet at full chat as well:shut up:

[Maxxed Ross]

I have to admit I was expecting over 130 from the MTH chip with the filter and cat-back - considering they claim over 140!

Just shows how accurate manufacturers figures can be some times

Thanks to all from the mini squad that turned up... even if by accident!

pics are uploading as we speak

[stoney]

What sort torque you get stoney??


169.7 lbft so not to bad :thumbs up: am more happy now looked on line and most says my jcw kit comes in at about 195/7 ish on the rolling road :D

[MINI William]

169.7 lbft so not to bad :thumbs up: am more happy now looked on line and most says my jcw kit comes in at about 195/7 ish on the rolling road :D

[antihero3000]
