just an idea, but does anyone think it would be a good idea to

organise a rolling road day at somewere like star performance,

if there is about 10 or more cars you can sometimes get your car

on the rollers for about £30, but would need to phone and check!!!

anyone interested??????

Make the RR at dastek and i am sure a lot of people would be interested. There was one there not that long ago but i'm sure people would have things done already to warrant another run.

i'd be up for this mate....asked the question of Jim Curly @ star if he would be interested in this, but he's been doing these type of group rolling road sessions for about 10 years and wasnt very keen to take it on(think it was down to the fact that some of his employees didnt want to come in on a sunday)

i would say that going to dasteck might be better.

i think it was fairly cheap the last couple of times and very accrurate.

I would be up for that as i have a few issues to clarify ................................

I think that when comparing r/r results most people like to have them done on the same rollers. I.e. if someone's have had some mods done and wants to see what if any improvement it has made then it's best to use the same place for the before and after.

I would imagine you might find people who have used Star before more keen to return than the guys who have used others (dastek etc).

either or, dastek are repuded to be the more accurate, Star are usually 10hp kinder, whether its the different roller set up I dont really know. To be perfectly honest I dont mind where we go, IMHO both are okay.

I would really like to know what sort of power the Wagon is putting out before it moves onto a new owner.

Interested, but would need to be reasonably soon. face-icon-small-smile.gif

How's about you feckers come up to the Dastek rollers up here for a change instead of me driving down south? face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Star or either of the Dastek RR's are fine for me. Jim (in my opinion) is not a tosser.

Make it July and i'll have had a chance to (potentially) make a few more tweaks. Otherwise i'm far to busy to do anything with the car and make it worthwhile running. face-icon-small-sad.gif

Yeah, Jim has been very good with the SIDC boys in the past.

The rolling road days organised by TeknoPete were at Star as us veterans will remember face-icon-small-blush.gif

One is due to be organised soon at Dastek by Spooks, Edinburgh/Lothians R.O. and his good lady Rose (complete with refreshments and other perks under the SIDC banner).

I would give him a chance until he gets back from the states (shortly). That saves wasted effort when someone else has already done some leg work, under the club auspices.

disagree with comment re: Jim @ star, he is definitely not a t*sser, i found him very helpful, and would recommend them..their rollers are meant to be very accurate....

I've copied this again in case you didn't see it - may save you some trouble:
