Mate, that's the same date as Volksfest, you might want to think about changing it? :undecided:
http://www.bristolvolksfest.co.uk/
-
I'll be there, providing I FINALLY have a personally insured car.
Mum's just recovering from cancer so know what it's like. :cool:
-
Volkfest is July next year mate.. well thats what Rich's thread shows..
Just read theres more than one Volkfest.. I think it will stay 12 June for the moment unless we state other wise..
-
Volkfest is July next year mate.. well thats what Rich's thread shows..
Hmmmmmmm, that'd be cool then :tongue:
-
read above bud.. theres not gona be many dates in the Summer that wont clash with another show and be good for people.. e.g. not bank holidays etc..
-
I was just checking, as Volksfest is normally the most popular one.

It doesn't - you've read the wrong Volksfest :tongue:
-
As normal its hard to find a date that doesnt clash with another event, so i think rather than chopping and changing dates we will stick with the date we have. already got alot of interest over on ukmkivs and on here too.
As with the previous events we ask people who have mk4s lowered more than 40mm to raise there suspension before the day if they want to go on the rollers. not sure on the limitations on other marks but we ask you to use this as a guide.
Anyone putting there car on the rollers will be asked to sign a disclaimer before it goes on and it will be the owners responsibilty to check there oil and coolant levels before. R-Tech wont be held accountable if anything goes wrong. But dont let this put you off, the guys know what they are doing and no car has had problems on the rollers at the last 2 charity events
-
p.s - could one of the admin or mods please sticky this post
-
if i have the funds i may be there, doubt ill get on the rollerls like but will be good to meet some of you guys again
-
sounds great, not sure if im gonna put my name down
for the rr, cos im not sure i can get the motor running well enough to make it worth while. buit if there is a show n shine then im certainly putting the date down for popping along!!
sounds a good cause and hopefully should be a good day!
also have a feeling the car is too low to get on and it aint adjustable lol
-
I will definitely be in attendance this year!!
Do many people with mk3 8v's bother going on the rollers cos I would certainly be curious! Be pretty embarrassing though if its gone down to about 105BHP. :grin: :grin:
-
Count me in for a run on the rollers again. Trust me this is a great day for meeting other forum members and a good blast. Mine is lowered 60mm on non adjustable springs/shocks however, I do believe that if I remove the front splitter I will get on. My last one was 40mm and flew on.
Snifferdog....come along Mate, I took my old 8v on and it reached 115bhp and no one was taking the piss or anything, everyone is there for the same reason Mate to enjoy the day and raise some dosh for a good cause. Here's mine:

-
Deano is right, its not about how much power your car puts out, people are interested to see all marks on the rollers as our interest is dubs.
-
Sounds good to me boys! Count me in! Fire up the rollers! :grin:
-
Same day as Volksfest :(
-
Same day as Volksfest :(
:sad:
-
unfortunatley it was going to clash with something.
-
Same day as Volksfest :(
:sad:
:cry:
Not good
-
gonna speak with nick and see if we can do it a week later.
-
Can these rollers do Haldex 4WD?
May bring down the RS3 as it should be stage 2 by then. :evil:
-
I dont think they can hurdy, only FWD rollers unless you can put your car in FWD, like we had to do with the mk4 R32's last time.
Either way still come along hurdy, be good to see your new project
-
Cheers Hulmie.
I'll let you know once the date is set and I can get a look at my shift rota :smiley:
-
Quick update
We have been able to move the date forward 1 week to Sunday 19th June, so that the event doesnt clash with volksfest :grin:
-
:D Ill be there then :cool:
-
Count me in.
-
Hi Guys Looking forward to the charity day hopefully get on the rollers again. enjoyed it last year. we are selling the v8 coffee table that we won last year if anybody interested then make me an offer.
-
would be nice if some of the money you get for the coffee table would be donated to charity :wink:
-
Yes guys the date has been moved along a week to the 19th to make it more access able to to people that were going to Volkfest..
If there are people that want to have their names down to go on the rollers on the day can they please PM me or Hulmie so we can get some details form you and a deposit..
If you have any questions feel free to ask
Dan
-
im down for this!! when i actually buy the car il send the monies, ill make a weekend of it and stay with relatives... :sick:
-
Just let me or hulmie know when you have the money and car buddy..
-

-
Bit of a stupid question but is this the r-tech in st Albans ?

-
I'll be there :nerd:
-
DodoJuice have confirmed they will be helping out with a raffle prize again. Top Blokes
-
Would love to come, but can't make two events in one month, too expensive :sad:
-
Forge have been kind enough to donate a voucher for a Diverter Valve/Re-circ valve depending on car.
Update
Waxamomo have said they would kindly donate some prizes. Top Blokes
-
if anyone needs a lift from hinckley train station either on the day or the day before for the night out, i'll happily do it :smiley:
-
I dont think they can hurdy, only FWD rollers unless you can put your car in FWD, like we had to do with the mk4 R32's last time.
Either way still come along hurdy, be good to see your new project
There website says they are 4wd?
-
There's is definatley a FWD rolling road, been there many times. They do have access to a 4wd RR but it is at there mates premises
-
How do we put our deposits down guys? I've a friend with a mk4 who'd love to come too :evil:
-
Drop me a PM with Full name and vehicle details/Reg and i will send you a PM back with the paypal addy to send the gift deposit payment too.
-
keep deposits coming guys.. will update first post with names down soon
-
Only 1 person down for the rolling road so far. Target is 30+ cars. Come on peeps
-
i should be able to come mate, but it fulls on my birthday, i may have a sore head lol :P
-
sore head or not your more than welcome :smiley:
-
Is there a rule saying is dub only on the rollers? Or can someone bring some friendly vtec banter?
-
There is no reason why there cant be non vag there but wana try and make the RR for vag only unless we cant fill all the slots then we will gladly ask non vag cars to come on the rollers :smiley:
-
Scared for the highest BHP figure to be non dub :P I see how it is.
Just joking ;)
-
There is no reason why there cant be non vag there but wana try and make the RR for vag only unless we cant fill all the slots then we will gladly ask non vag cars to come on the rollers :smiley:
it's a golf (vag forum) so therefore should only be vag cars, don't really want people coming down in non vag cars and putting them on the rollers i.e me, but will still be attending but i'll just park outside :grin:
-
The meet is open to everyone, but rollers just for vag cars. As we hope to have golf+ reporting and taking pictures, so no room for rice munchers in a Vag Mag.
-
I might pop along to see some peeps and chuck some money in the charity etc! But il park the ricer mobile out the way :grin:
-
Right theres no need to give us a deposit as it seems to be putting a lot of people off... So if you want to get your car on the rollers just pm me or Hulmie with what car you have.. And job done we look forward to seeing you ! :smiley:
-
I think I will come down, my car went on R-Tech rollers on Wednesday lol so no need run it again unless I change stuff drastically I guess, but would be good to come down for the day and meet some of you guys :)
-
my car has been on the rollers loads Dave, its good to show others on the day what power your running and also doing your bit for charity.
-
shame this fulls on my bday!! i will be blottoed!
i will have my new golf then :D
-
I might pop along to see some peeps and chuck some money in the charity etc! But il park the ricer mobile out the way :grin:
We can park together.

-
Only 2 and a half months to go now. would like to see some more people interested in going on the rollers. Its all for a good cause remember
-
Hulmie, where is the list of cars going on the rollers?
-
Theres a locked sticked thread alan V V V down a bit
-
As the chuff man said, seperate thread stickied
-
yer come on guys need to raise some more for Cancer Research its a very worthy cause !!
-
Anyone else for the dyno ??
-
I probably will be, just need to double check some bits first.
-
will you go on the roller Alan ??
-
Its for charity so of course, just waiting to hear back from some people if I can make that weekend first :undecided:
-
Ok mate let me know :smiley:
-
as said last time, as i probably live closest to r-tech, i can help out or if anybody isn't driving but getting a train or anything like that, i can pick them up? just a though :smiley:
-
Thats kind of you Luke :smiley:
-
come on peeps, need more people putting there cars on the rollers. its all for charity. We want to aim for 30+ cars on the dyno on the day and it will be featured in Golf+
-
Yep, I'll stick my rolling wreck on the dyno - am only a few miles down the road, had to wait to see if I could definitely make the date - sending a PM now

-
Add me then in the Passat!
-
Add me then in the Passat!
go on len. u love the rolling roads dont ya.
-
Name added Len
-
Pretty sure my names already down on the list, but how easy is it to get lowered cars on? Don't fancy cracking my sump
-
depends how low it is mate. A mk4 for instance lowered more than 40mm will struggle.
If your on coilovers its best to adjust and make the car higher before the day.
-
Address added to first post as i forgot :embarassed:
-
I would except my coilovers seem to be kinda stuck :laugh:
I don't know if it helps but here's a picture of it, i just hope it will fit on ok, can always take the front splitter off
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/neil_1821/P1000542.jpg)
-
pop the chin spoiler off and i reckon you'll be okay, will be tight though
-
Dont look any lower than mine!
-
Sweet, i'll be looking forward to see what other 16v's get on their run
Is it worth doing an oil change, new plugs etc before the day or save it for after the day because it is due a service June time
-
Would be worth making sure its all ok before the day mate.
As for how low your car is i would say you will have to remove the lower splitter to have a chance of getting on the rollers
-
I'm going to try and make this. Not a definite but we will see. :afro:
-
Dont need excuses shady get your arse down there !!
-
to stinger or not to stinger?
-
huh ??

Hope to see more people put there name down for the RR in the upcoming weeks. Not long left now.
-
not being an arse but you're saying only vag cars allowed, then you're putting a mini on, does this mean i can put my metro gta on?
-
not being an arse but you're saying only vag cars allowed, then you're putting a mini on, does this mean i can put my metro gta on?
Nah mate, the only reason the Mini is going on is cos Tech had a VAG at the time of getting names down and paying a deposit. At the moment we dont have our 30 car target and if on the day we still dont have more cars then your more then welcome to put in on the rollers after all the others have been on.
-
Its a shame to see a lack of support from the original crew on here for this event which they have all enjoyed in the past and help promote. Mmmmm wonder what whats changed :laugh: :lipsrsealed: :evil:

Still costs £70 to fill it up mind :sad:
-
yes. and when I put over £330 on fuel last month just to get to work it becomes f**king expensive and thats diesel
plus am going to goodwood at the end of the month which has cost alot of money, and volksfest as well = expensive month

Realised the error of your ways :tongue: :grin: :grin:
-
I may have made a stupid side step.. but now i wana get back on track lol.. you know what im looking for and im closer to getting it :nerd:
-
The Cooper S is stupid? :shocked:
-
I didn't mean stupid in that way.. For me it's just not practical as an everyday car.. Would love to keep as a weekend toy but just can't afford to at my age and cost of insurance.. Plus I want to tour some of europe next year so it's definitely not practical :grin:
-
I did say it wasnt practical!! :grin: :grin: :grin:
But soooooooo much fun! :wink:
So what you bringing on the day?
-
We will see there is still just over 2 weeks till the RR day anything could change :laugh: :laugh:
-
just have to hope that my new car is mot'd in time and it may go on the rollers if there's room :wink:
-
What you got Luke ??
-
What you got Luke ??
now own the rover 114 gta i was going to buy previous, but around £200 cheaper, according to the father, it won't be ready until the end of the month so it will be having a 16v head put on to up it to a whole 100bhp (hoping), i'll just park my 1.1 outside with the rust :grin:
-
A reminder for everyone who's putting there cars on the rollers and coming down for the meet to try get them nicely polished for the day. Want the cars looking there best for when the pictures will be taken for the mag feature

Just received this email from Spax Suspension
Good afternoon Paul,
I hope you are well.
The Rolling road day should be a good event. Hopefully not too many people will have over estimated beforehand!
We are willing to work with you to help make this event as popular as possible. We are prepared to offer a money off voucher for a Golf/Bora kit for one lucky winner!
Our current special offer is £100 off the RRP on our RSX coilover kits.
As a prize we are willing to extend this with a further £100 off the already discounted price.
i.e. RRP = £799.99, Normal offer price £699.99, competition winner prize £599.99!
There is no cash alternative on this prize and it must be claimed within 3 months of the event.
This offer is only applicable to the RSX range of kits.
This offer can only be used once, on a single kit from our catalogue.
This offer has no monetary value and the kit is to be fitted to the winners vehicle at their expense.
I have attached a product sheet for the RSX range so people know what they are winning. To view our current catalogue please visit www.SPAXperformance.com -> Modern ->Info and then the catalogue is on the right hand side.
Alternatively you can use this link, but some browsers are not too keen on it: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1psm8/SPAXCatalogueModern/
I hope that this helps to drum up some interest in the event. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend due to the distance and a poorly turbo, but I will keep an eye open for the event pictures.
I have also attached a couple of logos so that you can mention this prize in the forum post.
Hope it all goes well!
Kind Regards
Ash Wade
Business Development Manager

If anyone attending on the day would like to donate a prize to raffle off it would be appreciated, something say car parts or a money off voucher. Its up to you and just something others have done in the past.

Cleaned mine this afternoon, at which point it chucked it down with rain and removed most of the wax. Ah well .... still, it's my 80-miles-a-day daily driver, it's meant to be dirty :)

Don't worry, you wont be the only one, not had chance to wash mine, it's a daily and is filthy
-
sorry guys, overslept, didn't finish work til 5am :shocked:
-
What times this going on til then? I was gonna come down at 5!
-
153.3bhp from my standard valver :) Well impressed!
-
mine hit 210bhp but needs a decat as Nick says the oem cat is too retrictive. Will look at 100cell cats...
dont know if anyone will be there at 5, wasnt that many that turned up, about 20 cars max for the rollers.
Thanks to the crew at R-Tech, Nick, Len, Ben, Dan and Hulmie for organising this (apologies if i missed anyone out).
Highlight of the day for me was the turbocharged R32 :laugh:
-
So, its finished? Its only 2 o clock! :huh:
-
I went down for 5 minutes but not much was going on so carried on welding..
-
had a wicked day :cool:
big thanks to the organisers.
how much was raised?
:smiley:
-
i'm surprised that there isnt a thread going on with pics of the day and graphs too :angry:
C'mon Dan/Hulmie sort it out.
Jimbo, which one was your car?
-
Day?!! I was told that it was all over at 2 -3 oclock! :tongue: Gutted, as I was busy til then! :sick:
-
Went on till around 5pm with the last car an M3 running 344bhp.
Thank you to everyone how helped and turned up to day, the good heart of the vag owners community managed to raise £802 for cancer research :-)
The highlight of the day for me was having a beer at 6pm after 9 hour non stop on the dyno, just kidding the R32 turbo which munched at my dyno with 445bhp gave be a buzz, and my car having it's first power run with the full combination of tuning mods working together punching out a huge 346bhp, at what could have been over 430lbft but only to be limited by the oem clutch slipping at 2300rpm at 290lbft..
Thank again to everyone
-
Thanks for everyone that turned up was a good atmosphere all day.. We raised in my eyes a lot of money for doing what we love.. standing around looking and talking about cars :smiley:
Sorry i was hungover this morning but i did brighten up as the day went on..
Sal would love to start a thread but dont have any info here with me :sad: good to meet you to pal !
-
great day as always, thanks to everyone that turned up and as Tech said a good amount of money raised for a good cause.
Thanks to nick, Lenny and the rest of the lads getting the cars on and off the rollers. Thanks to Kenji for coming down and taking the pictures for the mag review. Dan good to meet you mate, was a great day.
-
And before people ask the Mini did go on and made 195bhp :lipsrsealed: turns out i didnt realise it has a stage 1 pulley and a remap not just the induction kit much to Nicks annoyance :evil: :evil:
-
Sorry I missed that then Dan!
Oh and thanks for the "interesting" night out! :grin:
