Rolling Road Re-Map Day 28-03-10

Pics were taken bit late in the day most people had gone, but had upto 30 cars there.

amazing turnout :L

I can see ours in the 3rd pic trying to hide from the camera. :}

Was a fun day out, hopefully we'll get the decat and exhaust on when the next RR day's ready. :L

Never seen so many ST200s in one place, and mostly limited editions too!

Nice one, is that you in the second to last pic with the thumb up?

I didn't talk to many as people were in groups and I thought they must be from another forum :}

Aye, that be me.

Splop - I'll look out for you next time

Carl - thanks for introducing yourself, not many did. How did you know I was me though? :}

My car didn't go on the rollers as I really didn't know what was going to happen and hoped it'd get done today (Monday). As it happens it will get mapped but he doesn't have access to the dyno. The main thing is the lambda reading but I dunno how he'll get that under load... looking forward to finding out, and getting her running properly.

I'll have to come to the next rolling road day that isn't too far from Sheffield!

I'll probably be the one acting like a loon. :}

Was disappointed that I didn't get chance to see yours in action - maybe next time.

BTW - are you still having engine problems? I noticed you pop the bonnet and unscrew the radiator cap, and I could have sworn I heard a hiss as you did it.

The engine seems fine (always normal temp, not using oil, though used a tiny bit of coolant), I was just checking levels before any potential dyno abuse

I've always found the radiator caps to hiss as it's a pressurised system, I think it's totally normal.

Think when you pulled up in your Mk1 V6 gave it away :} Sounded nice though when you was leaving :L

Ahh yes, the only mk1 there. I drove away in a girly huff as mine couldn't be sorted on the day :}

Is it sorted now ?

Yeh, he sorted it this afternoon before my drive back to Sheffield. Seems to be using less fuel and is much smoother and more responsive. The transition at 3800rpms is less hesitant now, which is nice.

Tuner reckons it's probably pushing 180-190bhp with those mods.

Obviously it was overfuelling really badly, he said the injectors were almost maxed out!

Nice guy he is and wow, Redbitz has some shiny things for sale!

I supply him with all that, the exhausts etc hanging up are mine, and the manifolds etc on the walls as well as more. Its a smart place, no fly by night shop.

Great stuff. Was nice how sincere he was about tuning a beaten up old rep-mobile when they were working on some exotic red super-car in the back :}
