Right guys, you've given me the kick up the backside I needed.

I am going to organise a SES Rolling Road Day at Charlie's (Surrey Rolling Road)

It will be beginning of November on a Saturday if Charlie can oblige, I will speak to him as soon as I can get hold of him. I will start a thread as soon as I have more details.

Thanks Simon

For what its worth, I wouldn't bother with other rolling roads, Charlie's a good bloke and knows scoobs inside out. Plus you've got a good figure to compare, as everyone else uses Surrey too!

Only other place other than SRR I would go is Eurospec in Guildford, never had a bad dealing with them back in the civic days.

Yep everyone shot consistently low at Austec which after some googling seems to be the norm.
SRR do seem to be the standard everyone uses so would be great to run the car again there

why???....and does that mean surreys is wrong or hayes is wrong???...

i understand tyre pressures how hard the car is strapped down how big or small the fan is all make a difference to the figure but...25bhp just because it isnt at surrey....???

or is it the software they use...is it set wrong?? dont they know how to calibrate the system???

whats the facts behind...a 25bhp difference??

2 mates had there Evo's mapped there last month, then went to Surrey RR yesterday and both made roughly 25bhp less there... All depends on what they use to calculate 4wd losses when showing at the flywheel
