Easy now.
As per last year - who fancies a club g40 rr day. Similar premise to the rally but instead of it being one car after another round the peaks then a meal it is following one car after one another on the rolling road and then having a few beers in the evening.
To make it viable we need 15-20 definates. If non-g40s want to run, thats fine as up to 30 can usually run on the day. If we only get 10, then club g40 gets stung like a good-un and we lose our hard earned £50 deposit, so please only put down if you are definately interested (date dependant of course).
As per usual this will be at aldon automotive, as we and club polo have used this loads and its accurate - my total stock g40 made 115bhp 2bhp up on factory.... so it shows how accurate they are. Add yr name if interested.
1. Peteg40 - stock g40 most probably
Never been to one in this G40. Dependant on when and where then I am a 'most probably'. Also that assumes I've run my G back in. It takes me months to do 500 miles!!

4. Yoof- Clio 17poo (G40 Off The Road- sorry!)
bet your clio doesn't make 172!
What sort of dates are you thinking Pete?
I'd say one saturday in october. 3rd, 10th, 17th. 24th or 31st.
what's the cost these day of running your car ?, what was it at the last event ?
£20-25 i think

:D i recon 167 max... its french
I bet it makes 172- yoof spec :P
I'm interested, but I think this will be a social jaunt for me as the Polo is going into the bodyshop in October. Not much point running a standard, low mileage Pissrat on the rollers. But, having missed the rally it'd be good to catch up with everyone.
the best bit around standard cars is they can still tell you if things are setrup and working correctly.
when I first run my standard one, the bhp was way down, even after checking a few things, was not until went into have work done, a charger service and chip and pulley that we noticed a hole in the intercooler.
Very much doubt mine will be up and all sorted by then :-(
jon, why not start a thread on here with the issues which may create some positive suggestions for you to try?
if my car is ready ill come, big 'if' though, just had to cut my inlet up as it was fouling on the car.
also looks like ill be running 8 injectors!

Fair point. I guess if you need to make up numbers, I could sling it on. It'd be a good control car. :)
yeah good if a couple of people run stock engines because if they make about the book figures then not only do you know it's in good order but that the rollers are giving good numbers and everyone else can be confident that their power figures are reasonably accurate.

http://www.aldonauto.co.uk is where it's at.
sorry its a bit to far north for me.
why, where are you? It's pretty central really, we have guys come down from scotland some times for this so it's not fair to have it inside the m25!
I'll be coming from Southampton...
Who you going with Varley?

we'll be getting a firm date booked this week so keep an eye out, possibly even today.
sounds good, so i can try to get my car done for it.
I'll be organising this now as Pete is slack-o.
Will ring Aldon tomorrow and arrange a date. Hopefully we can get 20 or so cars to run...
Sweet.
later the better yoof
Traditionally it's been end of October time, also depends on Aldon.
17th October or 24th October are most probable.
Lance- get on with it mate :P
am trying with the free time i have but work and other peoples cars take that up too as well as trying to have a life! but ill try and get it up and running, wont put the nitrus on till i have it running for a good while though!
plus i have the beetle bug from action now! ;D
17th of October would suit me down to the ground!!

Ditto. I'm too lazy when i get home from work to do owt to mine (and i only need to do the brakes and fix the rear exhaust mount before it can get MOT'd/remapped!)
4 hours away from me! ill still try and make it though.
Update: I rang Aldon this afternoon- we're provisionally booked in for 24th October, Alan (the old chap who deals with the cash on our rolling road days) will be back from holiday on Monday, so will ring to confirm then.
Be good if we can get 20 cars to this, especially 20 G40s!
Will the 223bhp G40 record get beaten this year??? I hope so ;D
Damn you, 17th would have been prime.
Either way I try and make the effort to come to this one!

22. teamcmc cl- g40- nothing new since last year, just good to catch up with everyone.
Update:
I've just rung Aldon Automotive and spoke to Alan, as you all know John (the young chap) left to work at Prodrive, the older chap (Rodger) has to go for surgery in a weeks time, leaving him out of action until 2010. Subsequently the G40 Rolling Road day will have to move location, I have a few places I've already got a good relationship with, I just need to check prices and availability.
The G40 rolling road day will happen, unfortunately it looks like we won't be able to return to Aldon until 2010.
:(
Get it a bit further south mate! lol
Trying a place I know in the Midlands- it's about even for everyone!
good!
And i was looking forward to playing ping the mushroom! lol.
Any clues to the location Yoof?
