Charity RR day - Help for Heroes - Great guys, cars and results ;-)

[antogoof]

nice to see how much power my car was making, less than i exepcted but 117.3 bhp and 146/147ftlb of torque! going to stick standard exhaust on tomorrow and then get the timing sorted, ill be back!

enjoyed it though was good to meet people off the forum.

cheers again.

Ok, just totted up the total raised from the day! By my calculations (and these may be wrong as it is late and has been a very long day!) we raised in total £503.87 including Chuff's donation whenever that is made

So another big thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a good day, and helped to raise a decent amount of money for a very worthwhile cause

13hr and a bit day, 362 miles, great day and the old barge hasnt lost any ponies ( unlike mk5's  ) even at 177k 

was worth it just to see a VERY nervous scouser with a car balanced on 2 old mini wheels     

Will sort the piccies out when I have chill out a bit 

You on about the ponies I left at home??! It was only 1.3 of the buggers and .3 better than another mk5

If Carlsberg did rolling road days.
Thanks to Doc and gang 

Thank you, we were rolling road day virgins you know :embarassed:

In stark contrast were back to Fuel / Emmissions testing next week, starting with TX4 taxi's on Monday and progressing to Ford Transits by Thursday

fair play if that was your full on day craig    

But you need to learn to delegate more  biggest bloke there doing most of the under car stuff 

get the younger slim jims doing it 

Oh and i have now paid up too 

[Rhyso]

Great effort by everyone there

Looks like you had a cracking day

The shortest time we normally have cars on the rollers is around half a day and the longest around a week when we're doing EU drive cycle runs so one every 20 mins is a massive difference to us

I'll let the young 'uns do the strapping next time but this time round I needed to know the best way to strap each type onto the dyno as I've only had mk4, 5's and 6's to date.

Got to say we all enjoyed ourselves and I'm happy that we made over 500 squid for help for heroes 

Lets get your wagon mapped and have a rematch soon me thinks as we had some not running too well and some VERY low ones that I clearly need to KICK the crap out of more on the dyno 


and I'll go first next time

Looked a cracking day with some great power figures.

Cheers to Craig for the day and the vagcom check! 
Well done to Dom.
Good to see and meet some new faces.

Well done to my car for trouble free drives! That M62 is quite awesome!

Craig and team did us all proud.

My suggestion for next year is to install a weigh-bridge at Carbon so that we can all pretend to fall out about torque to weight ratios.

Mature or what?
