Rolling Road Meet @ JKM - Oct 16th - Provisional....

[Oli]

I cant make the 16th, as I'm in Egypt - Not a tough choice though- Egypt or Portsmouth!  Have fun, and take lots of pics

List updated.

Still provisional at the moment but I'll revise to be final in next few weeks.   

cheers robin . still not got the car back yet tho  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

be good to catch up

[WhiteGTI]

Robin, would it be possible to run the M3 at this meet? I know it's FWD preferred but could you ask the question just to see anyway? Kate should remember me as WhiteGTI from the previous meets at JKM also, and she is normally quite accomodating about things!

Thank you!

P.S. You all surely want to hear that glorious straight-six sing don't you??!

@ Chris:

I just had a chat with Kate... No problemo... You'd have to go on the dyno last because JKM would spin the rollers round.

Also I'll have time, as Kate said, to put on my ear-defenders and go off and hide and sulk. I used to have a straight-six Beemer 

Yes, she knows who you are - A valued customer. 

[WhiteGTI]

Brilliant! Thanks Robin, no problem about going on the dyno last, I'd stay to see you all on the rollers anyway so it doesn't make a difference 

Hahaha it's a shame I won't have an exhaust on by then, because that would sound pretty special! But at a cost of £3500, its looking like being a long way off!

Thanks for checking that out Robin, looking forward to it!

Oh man.....super angry.  Don't want to fill this thread with non relevant posts but i will now not be able to make this day.   

While i was away from my car some absolute tonk drove into the rear, passenger side of my bumper and caved it in.  To make things worse they just drove off and left no note.  Left with an excess payment of £250 and now a claim on my policy.  Around £1700+ worth of damage and car in for 3 weeks.  Goes in Sept 28th so with regret i am going to have to pull out of this.

Apologies.....

I'm really sorry to hear this, mackit 

Fecking scum who walked away! 

[stealthwolf]

mate, that's just sickening.  Hope you get it sorted.

[mackit]

Thanks guys.

its a 2WD set up they have unfortunately.

you could run it in that mode of course with fuse pulled.

[chrishalfpenny]

yeah thats what i meant i was under the impression that the best way to run them was in 2wd anyway as the haldex messes with the results

I know where you read that and its a load of tosh 

By all means run on JKM's Dyno in 2WD but I bet you get the same results at Surrey Rolling Road.

Be good to see you their Chris. They will run your R32, normally after they have finished running the front wheel drive cars 1st.

Run it normally? Don't think so.
To run at JKM you need to pull the Haldex fuse but the results will be the same as from SRR or any other reliable 4WD dyno.
