View Full Version : Joint SXOC / MKIVSupra.net RR Day, Dastek, Dalgety Bay, Fife, Saturday 17th Feb 2007
Just out of interest guys who would be up for this?? See link
http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=465721
Can one of the Mods look into this??
why don't you ask them mate? lol
suppose it might depend on if they'll dyno autos or not

No harm in asking. Could be a fun day.
didn't mean to take the piss or anything, it's just our events mod (or closest one) is Tom who lives in Newcastle so we're probably better off organising anything ourselves i think and then if he wanted to help then he can.

Its cool mate, didnt think you were taking the piss anyway. Yea i might give them a buzz and see what they can do for us??
ive heard these guys are very good..
Thats about 15mins away from me and i've just bought my twin turbo so would be up for that i guess :d
Did you contact AVA, Geo?
right fellas. looks like Geo's not been online for a couple of days but i'd quite like to get a meet sorted out and i'm sure some of you would like a dyno run so if you're interested, stick your name on a list below.
looks like a power run is basically £25 which would be paid up front and non-refundable looking at the mr2 site linked from the top.
once we've got a list of at least ten either myself or someone else can contact AVA and see when is suitable.
cheers

Geo - would that have been Colin Gibson at AVA?
TBH I'm not a fan of AVA's method of RR'ing cars as it doesn't accurately reflect normal day to day boost level because of the way they really load the car up with the braking force of the rollers. This can show det but you would expect that when your J spec turbo's are doing 1.4bar boost (!!!), are well out of their efficiency range and in danger of exiting out the exhaust.
Getrag has personal experience of this.
There isn't any others that do auto's in Central Scotland though, as far as I know.

not interested then :D
so is this one to steer clear of completely then or are you just not partial yourself?

Yea what he said.
I'm not sure guys. As I've got an auto I'd like to go but the above makes me nervous. I think for the majority of us j-spec owners with just restrictor rings limiting boost in normal conditions rather than effectively controlling it means there's an inherent danger with this kind of rolling road because we have no way of lowering boost on the day.
I know other clubs such as SXOC have enjoyed RR days at AVA but they have turbo's with efficient wastegates and proper boost control....... not the slag of all mods the restrictor ring!
Geo - was it Colin Gibson you spoke with or another Colin?
AVA arent the best....really we dont have anyone thats realy good at RR in scotland.
Could always use Dastek but there are issues here to.
1) They are up north
2) They have a worse reputation than AVA. the chips they produce are just tat.
AVA is probably the best we have but still not brilliant.
Cheers

Never got his second name mate. Why dont you give them a bell and he can put your mind at rest as to what they will be doing. You can mention that your a little nervous about putting your car on it, and see what he says. You can post results and the let everyone know.

unfortunately i don't think he'll be able to put his mind at rest as he already knows the methods AVA use which is the source of the problem.
what was your experience with them Getrag?

They could never put my mind at rest as I don't use Garages and disagree with some of the established ones like AVA ;)
The reason I ask the name of the guy is Colin Gibson is like AVA's no.1 internet mouthpiece but claims not to work for them. Saying you spoke to Colin intrigued me! He'll probably pop up here at some point.
With that in mind please keep posts on this subject non inflammatory guys, for the sake of the forum.
Cheers,
Brian.
right guys. it's up to you whether you want to go with AVA or not (although i'm guessing it's going to be a 'no' now).
the only alternative would be to have a day at Dastek as although the chips they sell are indeed tat i've heard nothing bad said about the rolling road.
only problem is they only do manuals. i wasn't going to go on the RR anyway so i'm up for this.
what does everyone want then?
(a) RR day at AVA (autos and manuals can run)
(b) RR day at Dastek (manuals only)
(c) Meet somewhere for some grub then go for a drive
AVA OR DASTEK???
Need all of your thoughts on this guys??
thanks.

Well mines an auto so looks like it can only be AVA for me but have to confess been a little put off with some of the stuff i've heard about them now :(
Read here:
http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=31789&highlight=ava
I had generally poor experience with AVA. Im currently full BPU with RR to limit to about 1.1bar. On real road conditions I only ever reach about 1.1bar MAX.
As described above, they put great load on the rollers, effectively slowing down your tyres to very slow speeds while the gas is on the floor. As a result, lots of pounds of boost is built up and huge strains through the drivetrain. I think mine got up to 21psi before being shut off straight away with detonation sound reported.
As Brian describes, most folk at our level dont have the electronics to limit how high the boost creeps. The load put on the cars is far greater than the car will ever see on the road. ie 5 passengers, going up a vertical road. They also dont measure AFR or torque.
On the other hand, i did have pleasant experience with dastek. They use a more real-life model on the their rollers and I peaked at only 1 bar, running slightly rich and got 378 lb/ft. They were also much more generally helpful and keen to explain every aspect. Whereas, when I went to AVA, on my own, I didnt feel all that comfortable with them.
looks to me like AVA is out the window i'm afraid.
if there's enough interest from the manual guys then we could have a meet at Dastek?

Yea sounds good to me guys. Lets see who's up for DASTEK.
I will show and try to run at Dastek if that's the venue. I have an auto but with hi stall and lock up switch fitted so think they should be able to dyno my car.
Right. Dastek it is then!!
sorry all you auto owners without hi stall and lock up switch, you'll have to just spectate.
anyone who hasn't, go vote on the thread in supra chat.
Yea sounds good to me guys. Lets see who's up for DASTEK.
Where is DASTEK?, i'll come for a watch and banter :)

Hi Dek,
What you doing over on this forum then? Thinking about a Supra again huh? :D
All well with the car (and you!) since the accident?
Auto owners - I think we can all run OK if you fit a lock up switch. It's pretty easy to do, you just need to find pin 21 (from memory) on the ecu and it's corresponding wire on the loom, then run wire from this to a switch to send it to ground when you press the switch. You can also use a relay but that makes it more complicated to wire up. There are a number of posts on this subject if you do a search on here. What this means is you're locking the torque convertor at a 1:1 rate with the engine and drivetrain and the car now cannot jump down a gear until you turn the switch off again.
Oh and more on dastek at http://www.dastek.co.uk/
Cheers,
Brian.
Deffo out if it is Dastek anyway since they don't do autos but still turn up for the viewing.
Someone i know at work had issues with Dastek and an MR2 Turbo though, weeks of delays with the thing and poor running but i guess every place has a bad story to tell. Rolling road shouldn't cause issues though!

yeah, i don't think we'll see any poor running or delays coming from a rr power run lol :d
as you say, there's stories come from everywhere. i've never heard a bad thing said about the rolling road at Dastek though.
power runs seem to come in at £40 + VAT, will maybe give them a ring later and see what they can do ;)
On the other hand, a friend of mine had a white MR2 T (Im sure youll know it Dek) that gained the highest ever power from a unichip. Thing was like a rocket ship on the motorway.

precisely. i think the methods used by Dastek are certainly more sympathetic to the cars and give more of an accurate indication.
i'll start the list again below:

02. Geo.
03. AlanM (depending on date)
04. martin_a (no preference on date as would just be observer)
05. tdR (power run if possible)

i've removed jamesmark as i doubt he'd make the journey just for a meet, although he may prove me wrong and turn up anyway.
feel free to add yourself if you're okay with Dastek, Getrag.
Yeah, i'll probably pop along and watch. Had a power run with them not long ago and with no mods done there is no point. Be good to watch though.
Have we decided on a date?

looks like it's going to be the 2nd Dec mate (if Dastek can do it then). i put a poll up in Supra Chat but it looks like only about half a dozen have voted on it with the 2nd being the most popular.
Problem is they'll (and most RR places) want around 20 confirmed runners for the day to go ahead. We could get members from other clubs along too - SXOC are always a good bet :)
Cheers,
Brian.
off topic - anyone recommend a good paint shop edinburgh or falkirk areas. i want a quote for this door repair and has to be a free estimate, if someone wnats my business i ain't paying them for the pleasure.

Brian was spot on with this remark. Spoke to Paul, the sales manager at Dastek today who said he'd be more than happy to host a rolling road day for us but we'd need 20 cars running, minimum.
He also said that we'd have to wait until next year to do it, one person collect the cash and pay in full a week before.
Runs would be £30 for two runs back to back.
We interested in this then?
ps
Brian, he's very interested in being able to run Auto Supras on his rollers as until now he's not been able to. He's suggested possibly trying someones car on his rollers to see if it works or not and if it does then to copy the method of locking the gears onto other autos that want to have a go. Reckon the sxoc would be up for it then?
Hi Dek,

You've found me out then :d yeah im thinkin about going for a supra again, been driving my mate gav's a few times and really liking it, about 60/40 going for one or just keep with the 200 and take it to the next stage :rolleyes:
Yeah everythings fine with me after the accident, been to the doc's a few times about my back/neck, but the cars still at the bodyshop! been in there for about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks now :eyebrows:

I'm definitely interested but think paying up front is a load of rubbish. This has never been the case before when I've attended RR days at Dastek - always gather the money and pay on the day. Gerry is the owner so perhaps worth speaking to him directly and mention it's the mkiv Supra owners club also with sx owners club in attendance (who've had a few RR days there). We will more than likely manage 20 people but will only pay on the day.
I've got no probs with them trying my auto with lock up switch.
Dek - you gonna run at this RR day? What about Gav?
Cheers,
Brian.

apparently the 'pay up front' a week before is basically due to them having numbers of 25 or so and then the day comes and half a dozen turn up.
he made out like it was for our benefit so we'd have a better day and the people committed to it would turn up.
i'm calling BS and reckon it could well be worth speaking to Gerry.
said i'd put the feelers out and see what interest there was in it and get back to him.
so...list of those interested guys?
you want to contact them directly Brian? i think he was keen to get you down there beforehand to see how the auto runs on the rollers with the lockup switch.
Historically sxoc have been very good in terms of attendance numbers, and a few of our members have been to those days. I think there should be an element of trust between Dastek and clubs like these.
I'll drop Gerry an email about trying my auto on the rollers as soon as my car is back on the road from its latest modifications ;)

nice one mate, will look forward to the result. keep us posted :)
can someone post a proposal on the sxoc forum as well? Brian / Dek?
Already have done Ian! :)
Right. To get a better idea of numbers, this is what we have so far bearing in mind that we need 20 minimum.

The reason we now take the money up front for the minimum 20 cars, is that we’ve been let down badly in the past even with clubs we have always had a great relationship with, we believe it helps focus members minds, creates a commitiment, & avoids disappointment for both the orginisers & ourselves.
We only do Saturdays I’m afraid, but the 17th would be available I’m sure, but I would refer you to Paul Wilkins as he controls the diary.
Got this from Gerry on Thursday.
So, it looks like the date will be Saturday 17th February 2007 and we'll have to collect money to pay upfront. I can handle this via our club Paypal account which is mkivsupra.net@jdm-uk.com so will be looking for payments after they get back to me with final pricing.
Also will be trying my auto on their rollers before hand as soon as it's back together to see if my lock up switch does the trick. If it does, any other auto's looking to run will have to fit one also - this isn't a big deal, just a switch wired to pin 21 on the ECU that sends the signal to ground when you press the switch.
Cheers,
Brian.
OK have changed thread title to reflect location and date....
Lets get as many Supra's running at this as possible!
Cheers,
Brian.
my car should at least be running by feb...hopefully for the december meet but we'll see.
i'll need to do the lock up trick to enable me to use the RR but i'll pester tDr closer to the time for what to do. :d
G
Date for this has been confirmed - get your names down!
Cheers,
Brian.
ill come along to this but wont be running the supe on the rollers as its allready been on them not too long ago
ill see you all there tho!!;)

btt - can everyone confirm their attendance as we'll be paying Dastek shortly.
Cheers,
Brian.

Sorry guys...dont think i'll be up and running by then.
Might turn up in something though...will let you know at the weekend.

How's the car coming along mate?? You close to finishing it??
With my work commitments at the minute i havent done anything yet....all the parts are now here just need some free time and my mate and it'll be ready to go.
SO probably another 6 months!!:d
Cheers
G
Gonna see if i can get the day off and pop along and see some tidy cars in action, will bring the camera too, try and get some pics!
Can we get a YES or NO to who is still coming along please.
1. Geo - Yes.
Bump
im gonna pop down to this too so my wee boy can watch all the cool cars;)
will be in the van though as the supra is at the paint shop!;)
Can we get a YES or NO to who is still coming along please.
1. Geo - Yes.
So we know how many from here are running, just stick your name on the list if you're running - all welcome anyways though!

Would be good to have at least 5 Supras but attendance from us isnt looking very good so please invite your m8s etc if you know anyone that would like to run. We need 20 cars for this to go ahead (can do up to 30 in a day) and can probably fill most of it through sxoc but just in case...
I'm on hols in Goa just now (back Mon before RR) but will check this thread and one on sxoc every few days so please lets get some confirmed runners.
Cheers,
Brian.
Brian looks like it might just be our soops headiing down to this.
Yea like you said would be nice to get at least 5 supra's there.
Come on guys, who's coming down??
Might pop along with a cam for this meet as i need to talk with Gerry anyway.
Andy
If i get some time i'll pop along in the DC5..supe still off the road just now :(
working on it though...shouldnt be too long.

Hi Lloyd - pay me on the day. The two clubs are paying up front to cover it - I'm giving Dastek the money on Monday.
Our club has agreed to subsidise our members to the tune of 50%, so 15 quid to run if you're a paid up mkivsupra.net club member.
We have many folks running from SXOC so the day is definitely going ahead. We have capacity to run up to 30 cars on the day so feel free to bring any m8s with performance cars who fancy it, although it will be the normal discounted booking rate of 30 quid per car for them.
Cheers,
Brian.
what time is this kicking off at Brian .

Hi Andy,
We usually try to get to Dastek around 9AM and there's often a convoy leaving the Forth bridge McDonalds at 8.30AM if anyone wants to join it.

Yeah been using it for ages now, going round to Dastek in the morning to test my car on the rollers / drop off the cash for the day.

Just posted this on SXOC:
OK now I'm back from hols I'll try and summarise the current entry list from all the posts on each forum. SXOC:
1. Sideways Steve
2. kieran
3. 2 black lines
4. Stevie_R33
5. JonnySpeedbump
6. Carlos - the Jackal
7. Calo's pal Grant
8. Prozac
9. kkydd
Possible:
1. Sambo
2. 205turbo
3. RS Grant
MKIVSupra.net:
1. tDR
2. Geo
3. DekS14a's pal Gav
4. LLOYDMCC
5. bedlam
So that's 14 confirmed and 3 possible. Hmm..... I was going to go and pay them today but Paul's still to get back to me to say if that's OK as they were gonna try my auto on the rollers with my lock up switch fitted.
£600 into 14 confirmed runners = £43 each (£21.50 for Supra club members after subsidy)
Not really the numbers we had hoped for. How do you wanna play it?:
A - Go ahead as is and hope more come on the day
B - Cancel completely
C - Postpone the booking to a later date (meaning payment to Dastek a week before the new date) in the hope more people can make it then
Cheers,
Brian.
I say still go ahead with it. We can always get another day with more cars etc.
After checking with SXOC as well, I've emailed Dastek to ask if we can go ahead with a lower cost half day morning session. Other wise, I've asked for dates in April to postpone. Will post up when I know more.
List now:
1. Sideways Steve
2. kieran
3. 2 black lines
4. Stevie_R33
5. JonnySpeedbump
6. Carlos - the Jackal
7. Calo's pal Grant
8. Prozac

Correct! :)
Just to re-iterate, Dastek want the first car running on the rollers at 8.30AM so we need to be there sharp.
They have also said it's likely police will be around so watch your speed and as usual everyone needs to behave around their premises - no blatting up and down the roads outside! They've had numerous past complaints about this.
Paul at Dastek has said they've just taken delivery of new stock of whiteline anti-roll bars for both SX's and Supra's which he'll be doing a special on if anyone's interested and also on Millers oils which they always have in stock.
See you all there / McD's meeting point!

Brian.

No probs mate, i'll be there. Planning on leaving at 6.30, roads will be quiet so i'll make good time, within reason.
Brain can you PM your mobi number mate, just incase im running late. As i might need directions to Dastek if i miss the 7.30 meet.
Cheers.
Geo
See you lot at Dastek tomorrow then .
Andy
if i can get out my bed i'll shoot along for this.
cheers

Is that figure at the flywheel?
Yep. People do get up to 430bhp at the fly at BPU + FMIC level dependant on the rollers and the car.
Cheers,
Brian.

It was a good day mate, you missed yourself.

I didn't attend as my Supra isnt ready yet!:(
I've just had a RPS Sport street clutch and RPS flywheel fitted and I've still to fit my Walbro, decat pipes and 1.2 bar rr, Greddy FMIC kit, Thor FCD, colder plugs and full UK Spec brake upgrade.
Once this is all fitted its then getting a service, cambelt change and then will be used in anger at Crail and Knockhill at last!
