Salisbury, usually travel about along the south coast as not a huge amount happens in Wiltshire. Where abouts are you based? There is a meet in Oxford tomorrow if you are interested?

Ah right more than I firsth thought.

How would you guys fancy a rolling road day in March? I have one lined up for another club but need more people if any ones interested?

It's £40 (maybe some pence) inc vat, 2 runs, a print out and what ever lunch they provide, sandwiches on a plate or something.

Send me a PM if interested :cool:

It's in Westbury. It's the people who're providing me with all my ECU and Loom for my project.

Got a few people coming with varying cars could be interesting

I am guessing its the one at M-Tech... its a Dyno Dynamics.

You are welcome to come to me again Jon anytime for a comparison run.

I've never had much luck with dyno days from the zone... don't know why, but we have had plenty from other clubs :)

I've sent a cam over to Aus for a regrind on Friday 8O , so I doubt i'll see it for a couple of weeks. And then it will probably take me about a month to get round to fitting it :roll:

But it will most certainly be coming back to you to check it all over(AFR's) and see what it does. Expecting about 180bhp, well hoping :D

Yep, there is someone who does a good regrind and a chip to suit for £100 in sterling, Thats pretty unbeatable. It will eventually have to go on custom management and throttle bodies, but thats when I can afford it!

Meet is usually held at the parade ground in Bulford!

It is located on Bulford Droveway, keying "SP4 9" into google maps should find it!

EDIT - I have now attached a aerial view from google maps!
