Rolling Road Day

[Norfolk n Chance]

As it says on the tin!!

Started as a discussion in the Corolla T Sport section and we now have a confirmed date and venue.

Well Lane Turbo Centre

Map

Day starts at 9.15am and finishes when everybody's been on!!

Price is £30/vehicle.

We need a minimum of 12 vehicles in order for the day to go ahead.

So if you're interested in wanting to know exactly what BHP you got, get your names down!!

man... if you want to have an accurate test.. stay well away from Well Lane...

Go to the racing line in Halifax with the latest equipment.

[Norfolk n Chance]

Blimey, how to kill off interest in a booked event! Cheers!! :P

[Fizz]

With regards to myself...

I had a problem on my old tubby when i got it... was only boosting at 7.5Psi... Did some investigation myself along with some help off others in the know and they reckon the issue was between A-B.

I went to well lane and got my car checked out there and told them the issue and also where the issue could possibly be... between A-B as per my investigations.

My car was over the pit for 55min. Out of which only about 40min was spent on it... only for them to come back to me and say that the issues looks to be between A-B which is what i already told them.. the !Removed!..

Then they gave me the pleasure of charging me £45+ for the labour of an hours work... Needless to say i aint impressed.

Then we have the RR which my mates have used once or twice in the past.. the results are quite optimistic and the have been known to hit the limiter on a run.

Not bothered tbh. will be nice to just go and have a look at other tsports.(plus it will give me a great excuse to give it beans and escape from the wife for a day).

Well said!!

I've never had any problems with Well Lane so have absolutely no concerns with going there!

It'll be a good day out meeting other 'TOC'ers' and having a bit of fun with our cars!

What more could you need? :D

[McLovin]

I've just been talking to a mate who's been there a few times, apparantly its not a good place to go, for various reasons, the staff there sound like rip off cowboys.... (my mates a bit of a n0b, but i trust what he says :) )

I have used Well Lane for over 3 years with no problems, they have always been helpful and not ripped me off in the slightest.

I think we are getting a bit side-tracked here.

If you don't want to go to Well Lane that's fine don't go.

Everybody will have different opinions of garages, there is no such thing as a 'perfect' garage.

This thread is about a rolling road day, a chance for everyone to meet up, socialise and see what their car can do.

We are going simply to have a go on the Dyno which is £30 hardly a rip off.

well it will be a rip off, when someone puts their car on there and the cowboys dont run enough cooling or correct cooling for specific cars, or dont check the car over thoroughly to make sure its fit to be ragged on the rollers, then it goes pop :)

and £30 to get results that are innacturate seems pointless

So you have never been there, your mate's a n0b, and staff "sound" like cowboys??

The last club day i saw there was a Subaru Impreza day.

Not one complaint or a car going "pop".

Unless you have first hand experience of them treating you badly how on earth can you call them cowboys??

Inaccurate readings compared to what?

No 2 Dyno's are the same.

If you don't want to go fine, stop reading this thread

So that's what you look like?!

For somebody that's never been there you seem to have a real problem with a garage you know nothing about. ;)

Note to Mods

Any chance of tidying this thread up?

It is here for people to add their names for the rolling road day not for the garage to be bad mouthed by people with no personal experience of it (exception of Fizz ;) )

If people have a problem with the garage then it would be better suited to the General section not this meets section.

I appreciate people may have had a bad experience but constantly calling the staff 'cowboys' with no good reason is ultimately going to put people off and ruin the day for those that want to go.

Rant over!! :P

about a year ago i used well lane to get a car i had chipped and re-mapped they did a before (120bhp) and after run(137bhp)

wen i rang up i explained to the guy there i cud only get ova on a sat afternoon, he sed the mechanics finish at dina but he will c wot he could do. he foned me back same day and sed he wud keep a mechanic back after hours to do the job 4 me.

cant say fairer than that!!!

as i sed i went ova and a guy wa there waiting for me did the job he needed to and i left with a little lighter wallet but a smile as the diference in the car and the service wa spot on!!!

I still see a cowboy!!

I don't have a problem with people expressing opinions and experiences it just really grates me when people bad mouth somewhere with no personal experience and no facts to back up their arguement.
