Is nobody back from the RR day yet?

Post by Gareth_GT_Hatch »

Was just wondering if there was a topic and Ive missed it. If not then I will start:

My Car: 1391cc seat ibiza engine in mk3 GT Hatch with all standard GT ancillaries and 8P Gearbox:

75.6bhp at 6000rpm and 73.3lbft of torque at 3750rpm with a really nice flat torque curve from 2500-5500rpm. Power wasnt quite as I expected but when compared with Steve's mk1 that got 90bhp at stealth racing I had 0.1bhp less than him today and 1lbft more torque. So overall Im pretty pleased. :D Cheers to josh for organising it all. See you at the next one! :wink:

Doesn't look like anyone has come back yet...did you leave early Gareth? The last time we had a RR at JBS we ended going to Frankie & Benny's for dinner and didn't get home till 10pm!

Look forward to hearing everyone's results. Sorry to hear that you were expecting more but hey, it's not a competition! heh heh!

Wonder when everyone else returns?

Was it a good turn out? Lots of people?

Damn, wish I could have been there!

Yeah quite a few of us left when everyone had finished on the rollers. I had to get home because someone was coming round to pick up some parts from a GT hatch Im breaking.

Im not disappointed with the result as such. It would have been nice to have a standard GT there for comparison against. But if My car has the same results as a car that got 90bhp on another set of rollers then I aint complaining! 8)

Oh and as for turnout there were about 12 cars at the end that got on the rollers.

Guys, think we need to have a look over at the 'Meetings & Events' section. There's a thread there that Josh has initiated and should be posting some photos soon (I hope!).
