Rolling road day Eurospec Guildford Saturday 16th June 2012

[Jussa]

@ Jussa:
I suggest you add the list to your first post and keep it updated there as well.

I see you have revised your thread title to show the date but I'd revise your text in your first post as well. Then folks can instantly see what's on offer 

Thanks Robin, all done now

You're right, not sure why people don't want to attend.  Still, we have 7 so far and more than a month to go

....One reason is that there is already a well attended rolling-road day only a couple of weeks later (down the road at JKM). Folks don't need or want to get their cars dyno'd quite so frequently. It also costs another ~£35 a session, wherever held. Another reason is possibly lack of faith in a host who is not already well established as reliable for VAG cars with DSG. All those reasons are certainly why I am not attending - Sorry but I'm just being honest with you.

Robin, point taken.  But without giving another host a chance we don't know how well they'll do, as well as them being a lot closer to some people to travel to for future RR days.
I've been assured that they are very experienced with all types of semi-auto setups, s-tronic and DSG included.  We need to respect the fact that a lot of the high performance Jap cars came out with this setup long before VAG did.

I suspect the reason for this is that Justin has an S3 and JKM don't/won't cater for Haldex cars.

....Yes I think you are probably right. I stand to be corrected but I think that JKM don't run Haldex cars on their dyno because they don't believe the results with a 'pulled' Haldex would be meaningful. Is Eurospec's Dyno-Dynamics actually a 4WD rolling road like Ray West's is?

Just for future info, I ran an S3 recently in FWD with the fuse pulled and in 4wd with traction control both on and off. There was a peak difference of 3.4bhp between the 3 different methods and the dyno graphs were virtually identical.

That doesn't surprise me.  Not sure why JKM don't offer that option??  Either way Eurospec is closer for me anyway!!
