Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral Review: 5th March 2005 Rolling Road Day.

What a great day,
Its an experiance in its self to attend one of these days.

The Noise and the Power and the smell of those fumes Ahhhh what a day.

Wow it was sometimes scary being behind these cars they maxed out.

Well done dave you car was frightning standing behind it as it maxed out.

3 Times lol...

Picture of Dave the Technician attaching the Data leads to SuperDaveLotus Engine.



It was a proffesional Day from start to finish,
Coffee was layed on by Peco to keep us warm in-between runs.

If your wondering why the Cruisewirral Van didnt get a reading it wouldnt fit under the door

Dave was kind enough to show us underground,
what makes a rolling road.
To start a Pit about 5ft Deep.
Look at the siz of these Roller :go: :go:

Put my name down for the next one. Will try and bring the Vectra instead. Need to start modding this beforehand. Going to start on the air filter and decat like the esprit.

Very good day for CW and its members!
Was there from the morning and was great to see all the action!

What a Great Day, Thank You Peco.......

Well, where can i start :go: :go:

Don't laugh! I might have come last but at least I've retained the original bhp of the old engine, which is good considering the diesel is only meant to have 59bhp at the flywheel. I know I've made a big improvement on torque, just wish I could've had it measured

Was fun though, and I'm glad I've not lost any bhp with the engine conversion.

Wicked day everyone! I got there pretty late on with Jimbo but still had a laugh - just got there to see the big red machine on the rollers, awesome mate! My car did pretty much what i expected nice to see lots of people turn up too. Might have to do a few modifications before the next one - at least it will give me an idea on how much i have improved it, Well done everyone for a great day and a big thanks to Peco!

You have the right idea matey, Get a rolling road figure to start with and then you can see exactly how much improvment your engine mods have made

I bet Dazza and Meesh wish they had a rolling road figure for there old engines so they could compare the power increase by doing there engine conversions

What a fantastic day!!!!
Got there at about 9:20 and nothing had yet happened.Meesh was up first but discovered he had a dry sump *cough cough scoob*
So i was the first to make a run as meesh had to go to autosafe for oil.Pleased with the result as its only 4bhp less than standard and for a 117k engine thats very good.Shudda had the de-cat on though
Dimmacav WHAT A CAR!!! very gorge mate.
Dave cleaned house but hey,he was the only one with a supercar lol

Wonderful day, Cant beleive so many missed out.
Im deffo on for the next one hopefully runnin a 120BHP+ engine!!!

What does Cough Cough Scoob mean ????

Iam going to bring the Vecci for the next one. want to have a try at the FWD title. I will try and do some mods beforehand. It's running 210BHP as standard so I have a head start!

that engine mustve been leakin like the clappers to empty itself in the few weeks its been in the car, i reckon meesh drank it all or has been drinkin it all lol

Yeah, its was leaking oil badly. We done an oil & filter change free of charge when we fitted the second-hand engine...

All that oil gone in a matter of weeks. Believe it or not your meant to check your oil level weekly. Also we advised all members taking part to ensure there tyre pressures and oil level were correct before turning up on the day.

Its a good job Peco are thorough and check the cars prior to putting them on the rolling road or Meesh could have had a seized engine

Apparently my oil was nearing the minimum, needs a service, but i spent the majority of my service money on the Rolling Road lol.

Kind of wished i had of took the AX on the rollers, would be interesting to see the actual power of that, i recon it was more than 60BHP as it was rapid compared to any other 1.1 AX/Saxo

OOOOOOOOOOPS Hadnt noticed till the otherday that i had broke two engine mounts (must have been my donuts) thank god the engine didnt fall out on the day. Will have a cam and a chip nextime we go may even if the money is ok have a new engine from a 328 inthere. Wished i could have had time to see superdaves car on.

88BHP 1.6 (est)
126.7 2.0

An increase of 38.7 BHP - Check my Modified Topic to find out more/why.

Not bad eh?
