PH Rolling Road Day

This is how we roll...

---

PistonHeads is having a rolling road day in December to provide you with all the pub bragging rights you will ever need. The day is hosted by Surrey Rolling Road, run by PH’s very own Vixpy1.

The event takes place on December 13 and there are just 25 places, at £40 inc VAT per car. There will be plenty of teabags in stock and a prize for the highest and lowest bhp of the day.

Each car will be run on the rollers and receive print outs of bhp/torque at the flywheel and also at the wheels, as well as an AFR plot of the cars fuelling, which is useful in telling if an engine is running correctly. In addition, Boost graphs will be provided for cars which are forced induction.

The PH team should be on hand with a car or two from the fleet, so you can have a go at beating us too.

To book a place email [e-mail]

Address is :

SurreyRolling Road Ltd,
Unit 120, Qinetiq Chobham lane,

Booked! Be interesting to see how many HP I dont have!

[Robatr0n]

May well be up for this Charlie.

[White-Noise]

Interested in this! Will check back later on

[jatinder]

Ive emailed.

I got 150.5 at the wheels a couple of weeks ago.

Although there was some Ignition issues, I need checking out.

[varsas]

Tempted to bring the Stag....probably be the lowest of the day but I bet it makes the most noise! Also the fuelling graph would be good to ensure I have the right needles etc...

Looks good - Have emailed.

Be interesting to see if the M3 is healthy

[willisit]

Had mine RR'd there a month or two ago. Brilliant fun with all those V8s!

Doubt I'll make this but it'll be interesting to see who's got what.

i would definatly win the lowest bhp prize.... my abused KA is pumping out about 10.... maybe 12 mouse powers.....

[neiljohnson]

Was planning on taking mine down there if i ever get it back together this may be the motavation i need

[bmw2002]

If the 2002 is still in one piece I might bring that down for a before and after graph!! If not then I'll bring something else

[greggy50]

I’m tempted to come down on my scooter surrey rather far from Walsall though a shame really as would easily go away with the lowest bhp prize I believe kicking around 6hp at the moment lol.

[sledge68]

does anyone know if this is a 4 wheel rolling road as i'll bring the Integrale if it is, few recent mods so would like to know my bhp, although you cannot measure bhp, and its all about torque.

anyway is it for 4wd cars??

Why not do a day at the dragstrip some time? Everyone can play at that and horsepower is useless unless you can transfer it to acceleration.

[Mannginger]

Tempted to do this - If I do I bet I get lowest BHP!

Do you accept spectators Charlie? (Seems you're just down the road from me now you lucky thing you!)

Thanks for all the emails chaps

You should all have replies confirming bookings this evening

Well, you can 'measure' BHP through the calculations off of the measured torque vs RPM.

Or do you mean you can't measure flywheel BHP?

[Vixpy1]

There are about 10 places left.
