Been asked to see if there's any interest in a rolling road day for E30s, just wondering since I've been on the rollers twice here and they're very good (Dyno Dynamics ones)

Basics would be 7 people minium (more the better) and £35 a head for 3 power runs, done on a Saturday

No dates as yet, just seeing if anyone's interested. :D

have they still got that suspension testing rig set up. The one with the 4 hydraulic plates hooked up to a PC that measures the performance and handling of a car in different conditions?

yeah that rig is unbelievable! It can simulate any road condition and test the handling of a car based on that. They also still running that 650cc single seater in the students cup?

Date's not been set as yet, but it'll be a Saturday more than likely. Would help if we can get a list together though!

Onz, if you mean Formula Student, then yes. :D Been in the class 1-200 class now 2 years and won last year, hoping to repeat this year :D

cabrio: you should be able to, there's space to unload so can't see why not.

Neil, Kynder had his motor RR'd at "Perfect Touch" in Hoddesdon, afaik - everything ran fine - the only raised point was that the cam may need to be replaced in the near future.

Exhaust sounds flipping awsome on it now - a definate must for me in the future.

Neil.

Hopefully we will have two slag touring's if possible. But if it is very soon then I can try and completley rip the rear sub frame out of the sport. it is still road legal. (well sort of).

When is this planned for...

I'll ask if the guy's still wanting to do it, and i need everyone to add their name to the list so i can be sure who wants to run!

madaboutthe30: If i'm on campus with my car (No point cause I walk in from digs outside) it's a white 2 door with TSW Imolas on and a Sparco Evo driver's seat :P

After a bit of S1ag on S1ag action yesterday, my clutch is in rehab but should last the distance for this RR - i'll be happy if she makes 160 on the day 8)
