JamesC Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Nice pics Jay - just uploading mine off the camera now. Guess I better get my routefinder maps out then eh James?? Yeah Steve has kindly volunteered to sort a run out somewhere, and take all the flak for any dodgy roads/people getting lost/ stone chips etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah Steve has kindly volunteered to sort a run out somewhere, and take all the flak for any dodgy roads/people getting lost/ stone chips etc haha My convoy route lasted until the end of the Angel Cafe exit. After being held up with some traffic at the cafe exit I lost sight of you guys instantly. I was told you were all heading down to Sunderland area, but had no idea of which route you were taking. So decided to head back home over the A69. It was a nice run out for me all the same, just can't beat driving a Supra on a nice sunny day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyro Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) a rolling road meet ? was thinking towards the end of may ? i've looked back through all the AREA thread's and not found anything to say there's been one, i've been to a few with other car clubs and they are how you say "fun" so i thought i'd see if anyone would be interested in putting there cars to the test and having a go ? there are 3 options for the RR facilities 1. PD tuning > 2WD rolling road (boldon - tyne & wear) POWER RUN = £40 these are accurate dyno dynamic rollers i have used multiple times and also used by GTR-OC etc etc. 2. XO performance > 4wd rolling road (gateshead -tyne & wear) POWER RUN = £35 - £40 there have been a few shady storie about XO's RR BUT i know they are currently in the process of fitting a BRAND new set of rollers and should be in and commisioned within about 2 weeks 3. motoscope (northallerton) POWER RUN = £45 dastek 1500BHP rolling road or 750bhp for the 2wd never had any dealings with them but i have friends that have and their RR seems to be very accurate and they are helpful people car club discounts are available for block booking's normally held on saturdays + sundays. im planning on contacting the 3 places and getting a rough guideline price from them and maybe a discounted rate, so if there is enough interest here we can decide on a location and i will book it for us. "and heres to the next meet" maybe Edited April 23, 2009 by spyro (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 sounds good Do you know if any of them are confident dyno'ing auto's? and if they have done auto TT supras before?

qwarrior Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wouldn't mind mate, have done a bit of work on mine and don't really know what good it's done, wouldn't mind getting it on a dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt have much confidence in the last place I had mine done (cant remember the name of the place) Chris that was PD tuning (or V-Sport as they were were known at the time) I too would like my car on the dyno, have you tried I&J Macdonald in Lanchester? I have twice organised RR meets there and both times they have been a great success, very proffessional! They also gave a dicount as it was a group meet!
