Hi All,
If anyone fancies getting their car on the rolling road for a power run, we (bunch of Westfield Owners) are having a club day on the 6th March at JKM
in Portsmouth...Anyone would be more than welcome....£35 gets you a power run, and tea and biscuits......Friendly bunch of people.....Give me a shout
if you fancy it...
Paul.
Count me in :-)
Is it best of 3 runs again?
Pay on the day?
Regards
Rob

May be able to make it.......will have to see. Can I just turn upo on the day and I assume they will cater for a BEC?

Bloody hell... can BEC owners not just have tea and biscuits like everyone else!?

i have never seen the point of putting a car on a rr unless it is to tune it, check its fuelling/running correctly.
just seems a bit silly to put a car on the rollers and then rag the hell out of it without checking its set-up properly.
i know so many people that have been to these kind of days and come home with broken engines its unreal.
JKM (the rolling road operators) are IMHO not the type that would just rag an engine that is not setup safely
They VERY carefully monitor what is going on before and during each run (not shown on my short video clip)
The dyno printout they produce shows AFRs which I would assume are a LOT more accurate than my wideband does and if they allow me to log on my laptop
again I will be interested to see how far out my JAW is compared to their VERY expensive wideband setup
I'm not having a go or anything, just standing up for JKM who are not only thoroughly approachable, nice and helpful chaps, but are completely
pro in their work and believe they are regarded quite highly amongst other tuning outfits/RR operators
I'm up for it and can completely see the point in it
a: because it will be relatively cheap fun informative day out with a bunch of like minded people
b: there's tea and biscuits
c: I NEED to know my cars fuelling is safe (now I have changed the engine and gone EFI) and would like to see if I can really rely on the wideband I
am using under load
d: I want to see how much power my car is putting out because I have very little else to brag about in the pub
e: put a number of extra horses that the new engine and setup have added
I know I can noticeably feel them, just don't know how many more it has gained
Did I mention the tea and biscuits?
Regards
Rob
