Title: Charity Rolling Road @ Carbon Chip tuning - The Story.
Post by: JC on 16 April 2011, 19:43

Firstly a BIG thanks to Craig ( The Doc ) and the staff at Carbon chip tuning also Dom for doing a LOT to help craig out with the organising :afro:

so after a stupidly early start and collecting the guest RR driver  :undecided: we arrived and the place was deserted  :shocked:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4183.jpg)

still the sun was out and we got a good parking slot  :smiley: next to a VERY smart looking van :afro:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4182.jpg)


so after starting off with a Mk5 with some missing ponies  :grin: :laugh: the bar was set for the day.

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4184.jpg)

Next up was a leaking honda  :huh:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4185.jpg)

then back to a Mk4 , which everone thought was a tad poorly, til the Doc changed a setting and the 1.8t returned to a good output  :grin:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4187.jpg)

which was followed by a Pug which decided to mark its territory with some oil when on the rollers  :shocked: :lipsrsealed:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4189.jpg)

Next up was the first of 2 lowered Mk2's this one went on easily

to be continued . . . . . . . .

next up was the first of 3 red mk3's, all which performed well  :cool:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4193.jpg)

then as a few people werent there, i slung the old wagon on, but as I was a long way from home and she is clocking the miles on craig let topher spin her up  :shocked: :laugh: but she is running very well apparently :afro:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4194.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4195.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4196.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4197.jpg)

next up was a mk5 with only a few missing ponies

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4200.jpg)

followed by a standard looking but ABF'd Mk2

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4201.jpg)

then the fun and games began . . . . . . . ..

This was the moment that craig had been dreading, and with VERY good reason  :lipsrsealed: but he was encouraged to crark on and finally we had success

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4202.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4203.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4204.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4205.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4206.jpg)

but it was a TEAM effort to get it back off the rollers  :laugh: :grin:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4207.jpg)

then back to a easily loaded Mk2 - a mate of craigs i think

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4208.jpg)

followed up by Mr Lens of Blue himself

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4209.jpg)

Then another Mk5, this time with only a couple of ponies having bolted

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4210.jpg)

then it was time for the newest car of the day to grace the rollers

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4211.jpg)

follwed up by Doms Mk3 which was a VERY successful run and one very happy owner

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4212.jpg)

Then it was time for a bit of RWD action and it put ALL the mk5s to shame and had lost a whole PADDOCK full of ponies  :lipsrsealed:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4213.jpg)

and then the last car of the day to finish off the trio of red mk3 8 valves

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4214.jpg)

and some randoms of the ever changing car park

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4191.jpg)

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4199.jpg)

Again, great day, thanks to all who made the effort in attending and organising. :afro:

Got the right size airbox now then? :grin:

Post by: lemski on 18 April 2011, 09:00

No the airbox situation seems to be its smaller than a 16valve airbox but bigger than an 8valve airbox. So blocked of the hot air supply, gutted the rest of the airbox and drilled some holes wing side. Just need a ram air feed now len.
