Essex RR day out ....

[Tony jinxy froude]

Just want to say what a great day out we had =D> i took my boy along & he really loved it, thanks go to those who gave him a spin up the road in their machines... he now has a perma-smile & thanks also go to those who organised this day out. I wasnt expecting to run my car but was talked into it & im very pleased i did 117.5 at the F/W.. not bad for an 18 year old standard MK1! =D> . It was really good to meet so many MK2 owners & to put faces to names at long last & good to see a few MK3's & the appearence of a VXR 220 made for something different too!!, cheers Guys, Jinxy
Just a few pics.















And of course the only MK1 to run today..........

[Slacey]

So, who has the results?

[steve]

well impressed with my 265 rwhp was only expecting 230-240rwhp

here's the list from the wall

[Slacey]

Thanks for that Steve.

Great figures for your car Phil(ster) - why was Mark's run aborted?

[steve]

detonation iirc

[Ekona]

Great day out, well organised but really laid back as well, so top marks from me

Good to meet everyone I spoke to, and thanks to the chap with the 2 BOV'd () white Mk2 tubby (sorry, never caught your name!) for the loan of the allen keys so I could take the rear tray off and actually put the VXR on the dyno!


I made 225bhp and 215lb/ft (both at the flywheel) on a standard car, so it would appear that I've got 5bhp and 5lb/ft for free from somewhere!



@Slacey: Major detonation, prob due down to the fact he's running my Thor map and the bugle on the end of his exhaust

[philster_d]

yeah excessive det so for safety sake really.

[jonb-]

I wasn't around for owens run, nice figures.

I'm happy with 290fwhp @ stock boost (.9bar). Means it's a healthy engine and should last a few more trackdays!

[philster_d]

Roll on the drag day eh ?

[3sgte]

i was fairly chuffed with my rev3 ecu conversion , considering rob said it was so rich it was bordering on borewash
well i knew that anyhow its got a 45psi rev1 regulator on a rev3 which are supposed to run at 40psi

got 40whp LESS than last time , but 30lb/ft more and peak power was at 5500 rpm as opposed to 7500 last time

222whp@5500 /260lb/ft@4500 rpm (250 lb'ft at 3500)

Rob also suggested that with a decent map on the powerfc i should hopefully see 300whp and 300 lb/ft , but i need a new headgasket before i can push the boost up

Great day guys , good social event , i have to say i think i spoke to nearly everybody

Owen , Great little setup you have got there , i am glad that rob thinks that your power goals could be realised , just got to convince tuning japanese now

I wasn't around for owens run, nice figures.

Well they are high, but really needs sorting to realise it's potential.

Fingers crossed for Owen.

Great day guys, good to put names to faces.

[jimGTS]

wow some nice figures steve and jonb!!!

how did bry get up to 340 from his 310 which was done only the other week?????

[Bry]

Was a great day today and I'd just like to thank Rob,Claudio and Justin of Perfect touch for doing a great job with everyones cars,also like to thank Enis for stepping in and organising the runs especially as he'd come straight from work =D> I hope everyone was happy with how it went,I thought it all went very smoothly,and some interesting results were gained.Steve's 260 whp was I think that result was all that was keeping him going after coming straight from the nightshift Rob was his usual informative self letting people know how rich or lean their cars were or if there was any signs of det or not,just the sort of info you need,so well worth the £30 IMHO.
I was very pleased with my 340whp 310ftlbs torque (386fly)Rob worked some magic on my car again
Here's my graph

[MR2lover]

Great day shame i couldn't run but turbo is now off and awaiting new gasket. will go to perfect touch for a dyno soon and then have figures to compare.

thanks enis and lads at PT well organise and great facilites

[steve]

cheers Jim, was a bit of a shock TBH

i think your right Bry, that and loads of coffee - wide awake now, been up 24hrs

[Yas]

Hey mate, you helped out too (before you scarpared to sainsburys lol). I simply followed on with your method of getting the runners warmed up etc etc.

Great day, Rob worked his magic and the difference was amazing. Now all is to stop being a right foot softy
