Superb day, what more can i say !
Superb day, what more can i say !
Had a great day! Good to see some cool cars, I was looking for some ideas and saw haz's boot mounted rad! Since mine has sprung a leek I've decided to relocate mine, put some air intakes into the side polly windows with hoses running into an air box! Will allow for a larger alloy rad plus loads of room for a large fmic!
Good turn out really, great to meet up again, pissed off not able to run butTime for a rebuild!
looks lke it was a cracking day !
Well done guys
Tony (Walker), that to me (looking at your graphs), looks like a GTT that's running in it's prime. 200bhp, 200 lb/ft, less than 20psi, steady AFR, less than 7krpm limit. For me this is where the sweet spot is for a road-going 5. If it's reliable, that's where I'd leave it. Awesome
If you could get that max torque to plateau for just a little while at the top, that would be the only improvement.
That's me however. What are your plans with it?
A great, well attended event - thanks for arranging it Scoff and........ errrrrr....... Blunty
Nice to see a few faces I haven't seen for a while too and managed to meet a few I'd never met before
yer where's blunty gone.............. official word on the grape vine off some one in the know????Originally Posted by Alex

he seem to be doing such a good job of pulling regular rr events together around the NW
Awesome day! Saw loads of well tuned cars and met some new and old faces
I think I was there a smidge early too
Thanks to Andy/Logg for the donut, TurboTed/Robby for the 20 nuggets and Chris/Scoff for the copious amounts of tea & coffee
Really good turn out as already mentioned, I loved it.
Had to leave earlyish as I had a bit of a trek to get back myself.
I also met the fastest Dr in the NW. Awesome machine, literally lives a stones throw from my mother in law
Had a great day out.. Thanks to logg for the lift and Scoff for hosting the event
Also thanks for the plugs Scoff, I'll sort you next time I see you, top man.
Eight hours to get back courtesy of Mr AA! I'll let ashy tell the story!
Top event though. Nice one Mr scoff.
Ashy says it sounds like a rod bearingAnd josh's H/G - it wouldn't be a Renault day out without at least a couple of failures !
Thanks to everyone that came, running or otherwise, it made a good day
Blunty organised it on his own, real shame he didn't turn up, and a shame he's not involved with the club anymore.
Thanks again lads, Chris
Not to mention my little brush with the law, they pulled me over 2 mins from scoffs unit.
He said he firstly pulled me so he could have a butchers at my car then warned me about my front window tints, then gave under the bonnet a good going over.
To be fair he was pretty sound so I wasn't all that bothered, I get pulled over every time I drive my raider! Lol must be something to do with the way I look!
Is there a list of everyones who went on the rollers results? i didnt get to stay the whole day but would love to kno what went on?
Thanks for the comments, i did alot of trial and error with the cam timing, i had no more time to adjust it again(already done it about 4 times lol)Well done guys

i think i can probably retard it 2-3degrees and it would be perfect. it was coming on cam at 5000 and i advanced it around 8 degrees. I think this would keep the torque there a few 100rpms more
Other than that i have no more plans for it really, its for track use and i was more than happy with the results, looking at most other figures i was expecting around 180

Im now a pro at making cork gaskets lol
Also i'd like to say a huge thanks to all the effort put in by Scoff, Blunty, Haz and whoever else helped on the day or organising
They wouldn't of been happy if they would have seen me and T.N.T Andy doing warp factor 7 up that dual carriageway.Not to mention my little brush with the law, they pulled me over 2 mins from scoffs unit.

Or me taking Big Steve for a test run up the dual carriageway.They wouldn't of been happy if they would have seen me and T.N.T Andy doing warp factor 7 up that dual carriageway.
The funny part for me nick and his dad was when we went for Mcds and steer from the rear was in front and he gave it some wellie sh1t that thing moves and sounds sweet he was gone that fast we lost him and ended up on some massive bridge lol had to use the Tom Tom to get back to scoffs :-) still didn't get to Mcds
WoW even as a Arsenal fan I doubt would of been able to turn down liverpool Vs man UTD tickets.
I go to Anfield quite a lot and this was my first rtoc meet. Had a really good time and met some good people offering helpWoW even as a Arsenal fan I doubt would of been able to turn down liverpool Vs man UTD tickets.
Anyway after that result I'm glad I got rid of the tickets

Cheers for the offer mate
I know the bridge youre on about - I came over it via a Maccys...couldnt say no to a couple of sausage & egg muff burgers
Wait till you go to pod budI go to Anfield quite a lot and this was my first rtoc meet. Had a really good time and met some good people offering help

AWESOME!Or me taking Big Steve for a test run up the dual carriageway.
As said before, an excellent day & really enjoyed it!!
Andy & I are planning to see if we can compete with the Northern guys & pull a few of you southern shandy drinkers out for a meet??
They are some great looking roads.
Looks like a good day out.
That Tungy grey GTT is very nice. They are all nice but I happen to like that one especially.
did robbie turn up in the 21 if so what did it do, love that 21
I think 240bhp/260 torque
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
I think it pulled 230 something. It looks stunning
kin hell that think was quick up the mad mile last meet was well impressed, has rob fixed the 5 gearbox yet thought he may of bought glennsI think 240bhp/260 torque
Think he's thrown in a 172 cup box in for now.
Yeah the 21 was does shift but to be honest anything Robbie drives bloody shifts.
not bad for an old dog 132000miles standard engine internals and ecu 20psi of boostI think 240bhp/260 torque
Loved the 21 fantastic car, is that the factory rpm limit? Seems quite low.
looks to me there's no point reving the 21 past 5.5K even if there is a factory limit just after 6K.
Great ol' bus
Yes factory limit. It seems that most cams for the 21 are designed to keep the std rev limit so the std ecu can be chipped. There's only a couple using standalone, and only a couple using a vernier. The tuning scene is very behind the gtt world. 21's are limited to 18-21psi as they crack liners but I got the impression that most owners didn't realise that anything above 1bar can't be read by the ecu's 2bar map sensor
After doing some research with scoff, the 'powerful' Europacup cars ran 1.5bar on the equivelant of a gtt piper 300 making just over 300bhp. There's more to be had from them but since there's about 40 cars left in the uk with most owners just trying to keep them on the road, tuning hasn't really progressed. I'd started collecting bits for a big spec version but as they fetch poor money for the car I've stopped spending on it as I'd only sell it at a big loss once the 11's finished. Even Clee has no interested in the one he's selling and that's very cheap! Shame
Dont tar us all with the same brush Haz !t most owners didn't realise that anything above 1bar can't be read by the ecu's 2bar map sensor

Try finding the spec of a super pro cam and its setup. Big ol' t4
I'm buying it mate
Got to say really enjoyed the day, great turn out and good to see familair faces and new too!
Was an early start for me to worth it as always, role on the next one!
nice 1 markey that wil be spot on for your beast thought either you or rob would snap it upI'm buying it mate
it was you i was on aboutDont tar us all with the same brush Haz !
Try finding the spec of a super pro cam and its setup. Big ol' t4
pfft, no chance of that. hard enough finding pictures of the engine bay!
21s are a pop compared to the GTA knowledge base .....
No one has really pushed the cars Haz. Dave and Andy are trying now. Can't wait for their results
what are there std figures and pressure?
Depending on phase, 175bhp @13.7 iirc.
i know they haven't been pushed that far, after all they are more of a 'family' car than the gtt, i just expected people to have played more but they arent exactly slow in std form. like i say, if something sells then i may persue the build as no one seems interested in the car as it is. i did enjoy driving it and trying to sort some swaps with ollie to get it back on the road in standardish form which may spur some motivation but in the back of my mind its time and funds away from the 11, as with my other projects. maybe i just build stuff people dont want lol.
looking forward to seeing their results too
