OCUK Rolling Road Day 11 @ Eurospec (Guildford) - Sat 19th March 2011

Peerzy · 17 Mar 2011 at 15:02

My other two runs (two different dynos) have been 179.9bhp and 180.1bhp.

I'm hoping for 180.0bhp.

Also hoping to fling another stone into Gaijan's windscreen.

If they can get a clean run out of the S3 then I'm hoping for 255bhp & 245lb/ft

Frozennova · 17 Mar 2011 at 15:07

I feel a bit silly now, looks like nobody's going to run anything less than about 150bhp. I'm only expecting 50bhp or so, I'm sure I've lost a few in the 21 years since the car was built

Plenty of time to get a turbo strapped onto it.

I've only got 0.1litre more than you

Easier to do an engine swap than spend silly money swapping it over to EFI, low compression pistons etc. A Polo G40 engine is a straight swap and would give me 115bhp before mods.

Oh and I'm probably the only person with a 4 speed gearbox aswell.

i used to have a 1.3 mk2, it was awesome, are you planning on chaning the engine in the future?

mjt · 17 Mar 2011 at 16:39

I think I've left far too much time in which to get there.
Train arrives 6:55.
I think I might actually cruise at the speed limit all the way there :eek:

Nicely done guys, thanks.

Just for reference, if anyone drops out, or doesn't show, and you haven't arranged for someone to take your place, you will not get a refund of your deposit.

DreXeL and frozennova have got the idea right

I won't be running my BMW as I don't have it

, anyone is free to take my place but it's minor about the deposit. If necessary I will run my hire car if no one wants the spot

ScoobyDoo69 · 17 Mar 2011 at 17:24

I still say you should run the hire car for jokes...

Indeed he should,

I also hope that i get sort of close to 130bhp, dunno whether that will happen though

187 at the fly would be nice and optimistic.

3 torx would be nice also.

OK will do

I'm not sure which version it is but it could be 140bhp! :eek:

But still, anyone with a better car is free to take my place.

If nobody else has taken the space by the time the day comes around or you decide not to run the hire car, I might take it...

Booner! · 17 Mar 2011 at 17:45

So Service inspection 2 done, just collected the car and now £861 lighter....that better make my car 800bhp on Sat

Should be do-able, my EK9 got 183 at the fly. That was at PS though, I think they have a maha dyno.

Will I get a prize for having the least powerful car on the day, I dont think anyone can go lower than the mighty book figure of 55bhp for mine.

I think we will be about equal.

But I don't know if I will be running yet.

Also whats the M25 like on a saturday morning? I will be coming down M1.

Was that with the exhaust losing 10hp through sheer noise

I reckon the open intake has lost me some ponies, but I don't care it's my guilty pleasure as it sounds epic!!

There are average speed cameras and roadworks at the M1/M25 intersection heading anti-clockwise, but other than that it should be ok to be honest.

alexisonfire · 17 Mar 2011 at 18:23

Well my exhaust definitely won't be fixed for this, so im not expecting a decent run. The 182 actually makes about 170ish stock, so i would expect about 165 with the leak.
