Decent rolling road in S.Wales?

[griffin dai]

I'm looking to finally get the SAAB on the dyno in a month or so once the clutch has settled in, are there any good (accurate) rolling roads in South Wales to consider? I've used PowerStation in Tewkesbury in the past but it's a fair trek so want something local.

Needs to have a run to measure power, torque, boost & afr and a massive bonus would be if they can work with the HP Tuners software as this is what my mappers been using to set the car up.

Wouldn't mind organising a little S.Wales dyno day if there's enough interest?

Thanks I'll give these a call when I get back from London.

Has anybody tried South Wales Tuning?

I'd be interested in a dyno day depending on who you use

Hey, new comer to the forum and region.

I'd also be interested in coming along if you use someone recommended :-)

Looking at end of November here maybe start December depending on my shifts & if this new clutch is up & running nice. Got a few things to sort with the map and have a few tweaks here, but should be good for Novemeber.

I've got around 5 places to email now, I'll fire a few off tomorrow & get prices plus what they offer

Any replies mate?

I haven't asked yet mate, got a drama with the new flywheel at the moment and it's put the job back around 3 weeks as I'm going back to London to work. So looking at least a couple months here

Hey guys did this go ahead?

If not I'd be interested in sorting something out in the upcoming months

Not yet budd, cars getting new coils & plugs fitted tomorrow, so aiming to get something sorted in Feb/early March.

I'll give Got Boost a call later for a price & info on what they can do.

I'm still interested. Can only 100% commit to the 5th of March in those dates, but I can try if the date was different.

Keep us updated mate!

No probs, I've had a reply from Got Boost in Bridgend now, I'm going to organise a day with them this week once we get some numbers

[griffin dai]

Can any South Wales guys add here with what date best suits them, there's also a post on UKSaabs so hopefully we can get a decent turn out

5th March
26th March
2nd April

It's with Got Boost in Bridgend, usually £60 per car:

5-10 vehicles - £40 each
10-20 vehicles £35 each
20-30 vehicles £30 each

Measure AFR and Boost and display this on a printout, with wheel power & torque, also printout estimated flywheel figures.

2wd only so no 4wd sorry, but fine for both fwd & rwd (we'll have to put them in groups so they can get all fwd done first then rwd to save time)

If anyone's interested can you put the best date for you with username & car, and I can book the day which suits everyone the most. There's a deposit required for the day so would need a £20 deposit from each car to secure their place (non refundable) sorry about that but we've had dyno days in the past with people dropping out or just not bothering to turn up.

I would have been interested but 2wd only rules me out

Sorry budd, yeah it's 2wd only.
