Portsmouth RR Day Pic's & Vid's

WW_VRS · 21-01-2007, 13:44

I can imagine

- it's just with the infamous video with loads of people on the car trying to hold it down in mind, I was quite interested to see what would happen

yeah i've seen people doing that too.... i'm buggered if i would sit on the wing of a car whilst it was running on the RR.

i should imagine any tuning firm with a rolling road would have the good sense to keep spectators at a safe distance

Fabia 12v · 21-01-2007, 13:50

Noticed your car on the rollers bengie.... now i'm no mechnical genious but what was stopping RWD engaging and sending ur car flying forwards??

TeflonTom · 21-01-2007, 13:52

probably just popped the fuse for the haldex controller out??

bengie · 21-01-2007, 13:59

they unplugged my haldex ecu and ran it FWD

got decent torque but because my ecu had been reset on the day it hadn't done its adaptaion business so wasn't running 100% i think, seemed to be flying by the time i was nearly home though

still happy with the result though

True true ......... I only cut my hair with the clippers when I was down in London, the Mrs has hit the roof.

Got the address of your stylist mate

Decron · 21-01-2007, 19:12

Here are a selection of my photos;

The last photo clearly shows everone waiting round to see if they were needed to hold the Desmobile down, but the rollers were sorted and it wasn't needed!

I will be frank, that was a brilliant day and thanks to Steve for sorting.

Thanks to Jim, Keith and Kate for running it! I will have no problems recommending JKM to anyone!

You can see we brought Hedge and his hat in just in case Des's car wanted to take off!!

Ben - You really need to get your car looked at mate, that is not a well Octy.

Snoopie · 21-01-2007, 20:24

Des, You never told me you did breakdancing?

Quinten · 21-01-2007, 20:40

Looked like a great day, but have I missed the list with power outputs?

Makefish · 21-01-2007, 21:16

A few more.....................

Chris having had one too many

Octygone · 21-01-2007, 21:33

It's real, it did turn up...........hope you got back safely Dave

bengie · 21-01-2007, 21:35

that saab 9-3, i;m sure someone said it was a standard 2.3T that should make 250bhp but looking on parkers there isn't a 2.3T 9-3 saloon, the most powerful being a 210bhp 2.0T so his result of 215bhp or so sounds about right to me.

Mr Fish whenever you take a photo of me why is it i look like i have been on the pi** all night

Snoopie · 21-01-2007, 21:53

Didn't the Saab make around 240 on another run?

Snoopie · 21-01-2007, 22:13

Andy's Octavia had a few running problems, making 0.01 bhp at the fly.

Decron · 21-01-2007, 22:17

I believe it was a 95 Aero and there is a 230 and a 250.
