Rolling Road day in East region

**Duncan** · 28th June 2006, 20:50

Gauging interest in a rolling road day in Rainham, Essex. Place called Track 'n' Road. I've been to this place before and they are spot on. RR is accurate and the guys know what they are talking about.

You get a colour print out exactly like the one below, showing bhp at the wheels, bhp at the fly, torque, boost pressure (if you have a turbo), air to fuel ratio and air temp - the whole works!

It's also not a case of each car being whacked on the rollers to get a printout - each car is calibrated on the rollers individually and Steve will tell you exactly how your car is running, whether it's over/under fuelling and what you can do to improve it's running etc.

Spoke to the guys today to get availability. First free Saturday is the 29th July and, currently, any Saturday in August.

We need a minimum of six on the rollers for them to do it, more would be better. Price per head is £30 and you get a print out as above. They can handle both petrol and diesel cars. If you have an auto the only way you'll get an accurate figure, as on any RR, is if you have the Tiptronic type thingy - where you can manually select a high gear and it stays there.

Other regions members are, of course, more than welcome to come along.

Well I work every other weekend, so I CAN'T do the 5th or the 19th, but I can do the rest.
As you know, I have an auto, it does indeed have the tiptronic type option, but it will still kick down if you boot it hard enough ! ?

mines auto as well.. we'll see if their R/R will work with them on..

I know that Jayson at Chipped had to spend an extra 22k to get the facility to run autos accurately..

They normally hold it in fourth and go for broke..
