Ewen Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Theres a rumour of some Supras going in for RR session Sat 29th. Anyone on here going ? I fancy coming to say hello and watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Spooky, I was going to make a thread on this. I'm booked in, but the Saturday I'm going on is the 29th It is an open day, and they've green-lighted us inviting more Supras - 22 spaces, 15 filled so far. £35 per run - full DynoDynamics 4WD dyno cell, printed BHP, torque and AFR graphs, basic analysis and advice... It is technically an open day, so there will be a bunch of different marques there - mostly Scoobs and Evos I expect. And they have a burger van, so lunch is available on-site.

Ark Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Not sure - we'll go early, because it's first come first served on the dyno - I want to run before anything cools down or the day warms up. 9-ish? Sort of, maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 oooh, so what happens if everyone gets there first thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Then it depends who writes fastest and fills in the sign-in sheet quickest...after that I dunno, maybe they make you run round the block or play stone paper scissors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well I don't know about "only", but yes I'm on the list, but I don't know what time I've been allocated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 chris I'd just added Chris to the list of definites, he's number 17 but if you turn up together I will slot you in as early as possible, at the moment you're the only two, would be good to see a few more!!

lockys96 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 thats just the usual joker, ewen can just say 98spec vtti, and ill shut up, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 thats just the usual joker, ewen can just say 98spec vtti, and ill shut up, lol Triton told me about their reluctance to RR autos too. I was planning to RR before and after BPU just to record the diffs between stock TT VVTI and BPU on the same RR. Then again, I assume this has already been done..............

lockys96 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 yep, thats what i want to know, a also want to know how shw is running, still dont think its running perfect. how simple can it be to stick a auto on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I had my old na auto done by SSR who also use a dynodynamics rolling road, so it's possible. However, there is much debate over the "proper" method, because of kick-down, and the fact that you can't really force auto-boxes into the gear you really want...

Ark Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 OK, I just came off the phone with Triton. They have space for 3 or 4 more cars, but there is NO fixed time schedule, so we can turn up and run. Two of us are on the list right now (me and Lockys96), and assuming we all turn up together they will try to run all of us as a group (saves re-setting the dyno wheel-base, etc). They prefer to run manuals, due to guaranteed locking of the gear. I'm going to put a short thread into events to drum up other interest... They want names on the list soon, and we need to decide on a time to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
