Awesome Rolling Road Day
« on: 05 April 2008, 17:56 »
I really enjoyed today it was really good to meet up in person with some of you, I was extremely happy with my standard edition 30's figures to. Well when I say standard the only addition is a carbonio. My car gave 255bhp at the flywheel and 230bhp at the wheels!! I was extremely impressed with the figures with Gaz and Hurdy's cars to, both giving over 300 bhp at the flywheel  :evil:. Most of us got a ride in Awesomes Mk5 demo car which is stage 3 giving 370 bhp, all I can say is I was lost for words it is an absolute jet. I also got a free 6 hour APR trial map from Awesome while I was there which has transformed my car completely, the power now is just unbelievable, I could not be more happy. Anyways my car is going in to Awesome a week friday to have a full Milltek and remap, it will be interesting to see what difference the exhaust makes, I will also have it rolling roaded to see what the difference in bhp is than that of the standard map and exhaust. I cannot recommend awesome enough, their service is excellent and they ensured we had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Anyways good to meet you all and hopefully i'll see you soon  :smiley:

Yup, I enjoyed it thoroughly too. Finally cracked 300bhp :evil:

Decent turn out, especially from the MKV GTI contingent, seems that the R32 boys didn't want to join in :rolleyes: - I wonder why? :wink:

Only one word to describe the Awesome GTI demo car and that is AWESOME!
The guys working there couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.

Here are some pics of the day :smiley:

Had a great day at Awesome too! My car seemed a little down on power for a stage 1 remap (236bhp/252ftlbs), but suspect a faulty maf so more to come when repaired!

Nice to put faces to some of the names on here. Although only a few members showed up today all were very friendly.

Thanks to Awesome for having us around. They done a great job with the cars and the turn around between runs was really quick, so quick in fact I missed most of them by turning up late!

That Demo car is a bloody Rocket - I was still giggling from it on the way home. I am still in disbelief that a fwd car can put that much power down as well as it did. What a Car.  :evil:

Thanks also to Gaz who kindly took me for a spin in his sorted Ed 30. My wife hates you already as I want one of those now! A bit more nagging and I reckon she'll crack!

Eventually got home after 3 1/2 hrs.  :huh:

Chris.

Did enjoy the day and was very happy with what my car scored, guessed it was about this-191.4 bhp which aint bad for a vr6. :cool:

Was nice to meet some of the rest of the gang, mk5 boys gave a good showing so well done for that.....

Although reading the rest of this thread it seems some of you got a ride in Awesome's 370 bhp, how did i miss out...? :cry:

Had a really good day myself, well pleased with the results, my car did 305bhp with just a APR remap and carbonio and standard exhaust :laugh:.
Credit goes to T30GUE making the effort of driving from Swansea and I was really liking NEGS mk5 it was just so right, as a few of the others have said Awesome's car is a rocket and thanks to Mark for taking us all out in it, think he quite likes showing it off, the mans a lunatic :grin:
Thanks again to Awesome for making everything run smoothly the service was top notch as per usual.
How was the drive home Tom, you seemed to be enjoying the extra power when I was with you on the dual carriageway and up onto the motorway, bet it made a sight 2 breathed on ED30's getting used to there full potential :evil:

Thanks to everyone for a good day
