Sunday 5th August
R-Tech Performance
Hinckley
Leics
£30 for 3 power runs. Ideally we would like to book cars in advance so would ask for a £5 deposit. (get your names down fast as were already getting loads of interest)
Cars are welcome to come on the day and pay but space cannot be guaranteed. Will be able to get 30 cars on the rollers during the day.
All the takings will be donated to charity. The chosen charity this year is http://www.action.org.uk/ (http://www.action.org.uk/).
Most of you will know Bobbarley and this is a charity that is close to him and his friend. Read more details here - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=222702.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=222702.0)
Join the facebook group for this event and show your support for a great charity https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/273520649403833/ (https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/273520649403833/)
Any cars that have been lowered more the 35mm-40mm will need suspension raising to get on the rollers (This is based on a mk4 golf for a guide.)
All VAG 2wd models are welcome and mk4 R32's can also get on the rollers by disconnecting the haldex to put it in fwd.
A van selling food & drink will be there on the day and also going to see if some companies will donate some prizes for a raffle

Rolling road list now updated.

dynodaze next door will be open on the day also so would suggest getting there early to be able to park up :wink:

Anyone who has any worthwhile car parts laying around in there garage and is willing to donate them as a raffle prize then please bring along on the day to help raise more money from the raffle. It would be very much appreciated.
-
On the day R-Tech will be blowing up a Vauxhall Corsa on the rollers and we will be running a wagers board for people to guess how much NOS is needed to blow the engine. The nearest guess will get a cut of the pot and the rest will go to charity. Should be fun
-

-
Ooooh, just realised I may well be able to get to this......At least it won't be under 3" of snow and ice like last time :laugh:

Sounds good what time you looking at getting to the hotel ?
-
well im heading down to get to r-tech for just after dinner on saturday and then probs head to the hotel around 5ish
-
Im not sure what time i will get there now as the weather is looking better tomorrow so may go to the party in Reading during the day then cut across & head up the m40 :cool:
-
I'm sorry guys I'm going to have to drop out.
My bonnet is screwed on my car and wont close at all. So i cant drive it at all, let alone for 2 hours on the motorway :sad:
So gutted as I was really looking forward to this.
-
is it not clipping into the latch? If so adjust the bonnet rubbers on each side or take the grille and bumper off and adjust the bonnet latch on the screws.
-
Will try that now mate :smiley:
-
well its time for me to head down south for the event tomorrow. Anyone coming on the day, cars will be arriving from 8am onwards.
Whether you want to go on the rollers or come down to chat with fellow VAG enthusiasts then your more then welcome. We are hoping it will be the biggest RR event this year and maybe ever in the UK and its all in aid of charity.
-
Not sure what time I will be up to the hotel but will send you a message later when I know :)
-
would come for a drink tonight but i'm skint as always :rolleyes:
camera batteries are charged ready
