E30 Zone

now then guys. is anyone interested in having a meet and rolling road session at motoscope (DL62XE). if there is a few interested i'll try and sort it out. the more the merrier as the more cars on the rolling road the cheaper it'll be hopefully. let me know if you would be interested in going on the rolling road and i'll try and organise something for january.

Nice one Andy, keep me posted and I will work with you on this one in my new role as an organiser.

I'd be up for that.

yes mate i will. if we can get 15 - 20 of us then i will see what deal i can get as i know the owner so we'll see what we can sort out. is january too far forward?

No, January is probably about right in my view. Most people have little on their agenda's after the hassles of Christmas.

Also, your mate might have a quiet period straight after Chrimbo (most businesses do) and probably give you a good rate.

Pinched my Idea andy

i would be up for it

Oh yes, me too

i know alex you said at teeside about a rolling road day so i thought i'd get the ball rolling and get something sorted.

you said you know them anywho so if you can get a better deal then that would be fab

would like to know how much horses the e30 is pushing out

i'd be up for that, not too far at all for me

have you contacted them yet andy

Can we organised this on either a Sat morning or sunday. Or 9th of jan

only sat ive got off work till next march

if it can only be a sat afternoon i may have to pass

Well it will be a Sunday morning. So you should be able to make it and so should most people as I'm sure most people are off on a Sunday. No I've not spoke to them yet. I will try and get down tomorrow and see him to sort them out.

I will be in sunny Spain on the 9th Jan

When do you get back?

woo a sunday

A bit more likely that I'll be able to attend then.

One thing that may exclude me is my car has an oil leak from the rear main seal. I can't be ar53d to pull the gearbox, clutch and flywheel just so I can find out what power my engine's making. Power figures aren't that important to me. Anyone know what Motorscope's policy is on dyno-ing leaky cars?

What sort of figures does Motorscope's dyno produce? High? Low? Average?

.... Unless it's the 24th.

On the 13th Andy

Right then. We'll make the date Sunday 17th January. I have spoke to them and they say to open on a Saturday we need at least 15 cars so let's get more people involved. If we can't make up the numbers then we'll have to offer it to friends with inferior cars lol. It's £35 each and we need a deposit for them to open. £10 each deposit and £25 on the day. If people want to pay me through paypal and I will pay Motoscope. We need to get numbers up and confirmed asap so we can book it.

It's Sunday 17th January. I've just read what I've wrote and I've put Saturday. I meant Sunday.

Assuming they will allow my leaky car, I'll be wanting 2 runs. Does that mean we'd only need 13 cars + mine??

yes it does which also means it'll cost you £70. Why 2 runs? When you pay £35 they put your car on the rollers and do 3 power runs and give you the average too plus a print out with everything on.

How bad is your leak? Y

I realise that.

Petrol and LPG

Bad enough to stain my garage floor. The gearbox undertray gets caked with it.

Think might have to give mine a good service before then so I'm not as shocked at my readout

Good idea Chris, but it's due an inspection 2 soon and I'd not like to take the risk.

Don't be soft Mick, you know it makes sense
