New Rolling Road in the North West

[RussellT]

A member of the Renault tuning scene has opened a new RR at Warrington and is holding a come and try it day if any one fancies checking out their car prior to the start of the new season.

Chris has quite a reputation as he has manged to develop a R5 with a turbocharged clio 172 engine that can do a standing 1/4 mile in just 10.14 seconds with a terminal speed of 146mph another 4mph and he has to have a parachute

Here is some details:

Available on the day, in a first-come-first-served fashion will be 2WD power runs with basic diagnostics - IE boost and AFR plotting. The dyno is a modern SuperFlow AutoDyno capable of holding 600hp+ (1100hp theoretical). Both FWD and RWD are welcome. In keeping with a typical Club rolling road day the running will cost £30 per car and typically consist of 3 back to back power runs. Minor (read "fast!!") adjustments are allowed between runs and printouts provided at the end.

On request I can monitor for knock or charge temperate, etc, depending on how much free time exists on the day.

Especially low cars should bring the tools required to remove their front bumper to aid strapping. High powered FWD cars should remove the front bumper so that we can strap the car even tighter to avoid slip.

Hello Mr T

Does that include us little under powered Clios, if your going across it would be good to see what your car makes ? ie a wall of torque.

Regards Russ.......

Doris wont be there sadly she is in the pits and as soon as the pit crew manage to get an Aston Martin V12 running (destined for a TVR Speed 12) on a Motech ECU they can get on with the main event with Doris.

Can it cope with racers with semi-legal ground clearance? Had that trouble elsewhere when I couldn't jack the suspension up enough to drive the rollers

BTW £30 is a real snip - much cheaper than finding out the engine doesn't really work at the 1st event. If I'd done any work on my engine over the winter, or even changed the oil come to that , I'd be there.
