Rolling Road Day, JKM Portsmouth, 28th October 2017

[flashman]

I'll be having a look in on this, was interesting last time. Particularly liked an old Rapide which doesn't seem to be on the list this time.

I also have an AP Racing 6 pot big brake kit from my Mk5 Golf for sale if anyone is interested talk to Jim or Kate, they'll point you towards me (Ashley)

Will ask Kate tomorrow I'd imagine it shouldn't be an issue as it's extra money for them 

[andsoutham]

At the risk of making Briskoda explode with a picture of a BM...

 

Gave it a quick wash, see you all in the morning

Last minute post, if anyone has VCDS that will connect to a 2010 Audi A3 (Hex can i believe) then if they could bring it that would be great, friend of mine wants to take their headlights out of tourist mode.

 

Cheers

Not sure if I'll be able to make it in time is the problem. Travelling home from Carlisle in the morning and another hour or two down to Portsmouth from home. If I can make it in time I'll try and make it.

I might be late tomorrow as @BJB540 has spiked my drink, feel free to skip me if I'm late

I should be there about 11.30ish. See you all in the morning. 

[AJ7788]

Unfortunately I've been held up on the way home so no way I can make it in time :(

Big thank you to jkm and andy for organising. Also to whomever bought the cookies (though I didn't manage to get one).

I'd say you're welcome, but you were obviously a bit slow off the cookie mark 

 

I think some horse rustling's been going on.  Four of mine have been snaffled since last year  (236.1hp was all it could muster).

 

Andrew went on before me.  Suspicously, he had several more horses than me.  I did take my eye off of things while making tea.  Hmmmm, I wonder......

 

Echo BSP's thanks - a good day, and the weather was kind.  Some lovely cars coming out to play too

I missed out on the cookies also.

 

Yes I had 4.3 more, maybe the white are just faster . haha.

 

Thanks for a good day. Originally I was only going to stay until I ran, but decided to stay until the end.

[andsoutham]

Thanks to JKM for running the day and thank you to all who turned up! 

 

Apologies to those who didn't get the numbers they were hoping for.... They aren't  called the heart break rollers for nothing!

 

Luckily mine ran a little more than the 322hp it comes out the factory with. Hopefully see you all again next year!!

 

 

[AndrewE]

I'm happy with mine also. 23.4 BHP extra.

Forgetting the numbers in red at the top right for a moment, it's interesting to see the difference between your graph and mine:

 

 

 

Both nudging 300ftlbs around 2300rpm, and both clearly flattening off in HP around 4600rpm.

 

I think I need a map!
