Well, today has seen the first EVER Rolling Road day up at scoobyclinic, and what a day it’s been. Inspired by Scoobydee2s success of organising her first meet, I decided to give organising a Rolling Road Day a go. Hopefully it turned out OK?

I want to say first off, a huge thanks to Andy, Kev, Wills, Pat and Ads for a great (but bloody cold) day. If anyone else at the clinic was involved and I’ve not mentioned you it’s because a) I don’t know your name or b) I didn’t spot you while I was dashing about.

I contacted Kev and Adam soon after the RR was installed to see if we could hold a Rolling Road day for the local Chesterfield Group. They were immediately up for it and thought as we’re a small group it would be useful for the clinic to cut their teeth on for RR days. They don’t want to pile ‘em high, rush ‘em through - they want to go through the results with each owner and see where improvements could be made. And that’s exactly what happened.

I got eleven ‘volunteers’ to bring their cars up to strap down (and only one didn’t make it). First car on at 10:30 so I thought I’d arrive early (10:00) to get set up and organised. Beaten to it – ScoobyRuss and TRF were already there!

It’s been a great atmosphere up there with everyone having a laugh and a joke

Before I go through the results, I should point out we’re a poor, destitute band of northern oiks who have little or no mods made to our pride and joys – there was none of “my ***** bigger than your ****” going on.

So here are the results in power order with details of the car and engine mods only:

Cheesy 303 bhp UK STi 9 - PPP

Karl H 290 bhp JDM STi 5 – P1 ecu, full de-cat, panel filter

ScoobyDee2 277 bhp UK STi 8 – full de-cat, panel filter

ScoobyRuss 231 bhp UK MY04 WRX – Prodrive back box

Greenwithenvy 224 bhp UK MY00 Turbo – de-cat centre, panel filter, magnex 6x4 back box

Scoobimax 222 bhp UK MY99 Turbo – de-cat down pipe, panel filter, Jetex back box

TRF 221 bhp UK MY04 WRX – Powersport back box

Ubik 209 bhp UK MY01 WRX - de-cat centre, panel filter, magnex 6x4 back box

Matt-J-Scooby 205 bhp UK MY01 WRX – standard

DaftLad 89 bhp MY95 UK 1.6LX - induction kit & Magnex 5" backbox

Although on DaftLads third and final run, Pat weaved his magic on a re-map and squeezed 224 bhp out of the thing. A great cheer rang out through out the clinic. Trouble is Pats re-map was of the Rolling Road!!!!! I’ve never seen such a shocked look than DaftLads when that 224 first appeared – he took it in his stride though and the day continued.

Loads of photos taken that will take me ages to go though and upload to Photobucket, so watch this space.

Anyway, as you can see a broad range of figures but the most important thing is we all had a great day – or at least I hope we did?

Next step - group buy on re-maps anyone?

It was a fun day indeed, I'll upload some pics later (warning, they're BIG). Big thanks go out to all the "volunteers" for enduring the cold, and all the guys at Scooby Clinic for making it a memorable occasion.

Just a brief note regarding the "tweak" on DaftLad's car lest people get the wrong idea... this was just a bit of fun, and it's the only time we didn't run the rollers in "Shootout" mode, all the other runs (including the 89 BHP run) were done properly. The only time we'll fudge the figures is for a laugh, and then openly say that we've done it; it's also obvious from the graph since it won't have "SHOOT_44" on it.

Cheers,

Pat.

 

I had a great time thanks Max, and all the lads at scoobyclinic.
i enjoyed talking with everyone there.

my ***** massive now.

 

What a great day!



we must say a massive thanks to all involved for a funpacked day even in the bitting cold! A massive thanks must go to Max for the origanisation and Andy and Mark for running the cars and the press photographer/technical assistant Pat for your just being there.


I forgot my camera so I hope you all got some good pics

Hi,
Is This Pat the guy who does the mapping down south,if so does he do all the clinics remapping and has he moved up here or just visits.

Cheers Paul

 

Cheers Brother Max for a great day, so when is the next one?

Hope GWE didn't get in to too much trouble when he got home.

Karl

 

Cheers Max, glad I'm an inspiration to someone. You did a great job

Great day, great people and great advice. A big thank-you to everyone involved.

Pleased with the result, next step re-map. Got a brilliant shot on video camera of Kev pointing at me and almost ordering me to have a re-map, "Yes Gaffer, when can you book me in". Better get ringing round for the best deals in loans.

Adele

Funny titles Pat

 

Big thanks to MAX and all at scoobyclinic!!! Sorry I was so late wish I could have been there all day!!! glad to see the R/R figures are accurate as my car proved!!!
CHEERS CHEESY

 

I have to say, the figures for the '01 WRXs are disappointing. Aren't they supposed to make 215 bhp without any modifications at all?

 

214bhp i think but yes......

Great pics Max / Pat

 

Max it was fantastic!

Thanks to everyone who turned up and thanks especially the clinic for running the day taking the time to explain the figures etc.


Air Fuel figures were a real shock!


I will get my photos uploaded when my camera battery is all charged up again. One very full memory card.

James (GWE) - I will get the films of your run on a cd.

 

Top day out, very interesting. Thanks to Max and everyone at the Clinic... now about that re-map.

 

Just edited to add my 'mods' to the list! Another great day out for the Chessie boys and girls, despite the chilling temperatures there were plenty of smiles! Best part was my car nearly getting stuck on the rollers, then Kev getting it stuck in the mud outside! Thanks a lot Max and the whole Scoobyclinic team, Pat great pics by the way, and thanks for the comedy read-out!

Brilliant day, thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I'll just edit the numberplates off my pics then I'll post a few up, back in a sec!

 

Right heres just a few pics - I don't know why photobucket insists on changing the size of the pictures

 

Damn...I was racing you for piccy posting! I just lost.

 

Never mind dave, post em up anyway no hard feelings!

 

last few images going up now. The movie of Karl's reaction is great!

Late arrival - THE CHEESE MAN




Thanks again to the clinic, you guys as always were very welcoming and friendly. Managed to keep patience with all our questions and went the extra mile (running around as you were closing up resetting ECU's, bulbs etc etc).

First class service as usual.

 

Chop the quality and get photobucket to keep it at the right size!

 

Great pics you two. I'll get some more up on photobucket and get the links on here.

Max

 

Great photo's Pat. PMSL with the captions - you cheeky scamp

 

Hmm,

How much was it guys? Sold the STI recently and went to the dark side (FQ330). Just decatted her and dying to see what the results are.

Good looking pics BTW. Love the classic with gold alloys (OZ i think?), stunning motor m8
