Rolling Road

Afternoon Chaps,

Right Im getting the car mapped soon with a Bluefin via Superchips and before I go installing any software etc I would like to get the power figures before and after. Yes I know I can pretty much guaranty they will be pretty spot on but its always nice to know your running healthy power before and after, no?

So Ive had a quote from Dyno Drive in Warrington and they said a run is £100+vat which i thought was bloody dear considering on a RR day its £30 go figure.

So whats a ball park figure and most importantly where else could I go.

Oh and if anybody fancies a BMW RR day hahahahaha.

Awesome GTi in Irlam. Not far from Warrington. I'm pretty sure they are nowhere near that price.
I took my ed30 on a RR day years ago and was about £30

Well I went to another place local and they said £99 but thats two runs without the car leaving the Dyno, also he seemed very sceptical of the figures Superchips quote.

Anyway I could try and organise a day if you like?

Maybe somewhere central in the country so then more people can attend?
Maybe one of the members in the midlands knows a good RR?

When I said a run I meant however many it takes to get a proper reading - so normally 2 or 3.

Well having been two reputable places already and they want 90+ makes me think good accurate rollers. Maybe Im going over it too much.

Sounds like there is quite a bit of interest in this. And if we can persuade Makkan to come I might have to use his services for an Alpina Flash

Most places with rr's do in house tuning don't they? So it really wouldn't surprise me to hear them poo pooing other companies claimed figures. I mean tell people what % power increase you can gain from a simple jb4 and set of dp's. For very little money per bhp on a 335 and most will call bullshit on it if they don't know the platform. Having said that I know nothing of the bluefin.
To add to that there's a rr local to me it's a bit shitty but u can hire it for half a day for 120 and do as many pulls as u want

Kev id agree but they are a Jap outfit so don't think they'd be to bothered about figures from Superchips. it was just a sea of Toyota Glanza's outside the place hahahaha.

Luton is just a ridiculous distance to travel for what Im after, lets not forget I already had the Bluefin so its not like Im paying £400+, Im only paying £232 + what ever to send it back to me.

Thor racing offer a rolling road and also do the hub read outs to so they will give you, your bhp at the fly wheel and at the hub.

I took my BMW cooper S works there when there was an organised mini meet there and very friendly.

I will enquire there tomorrow when I'm back in work and get the costs for a group discount.
