31st May G-Force + Pub Meet

Thought I'd start a new thread as we are confirmed for the 31st. The old thread is here.

Here is the list of attendees (I will update this post as it changes):

RS4
Chris x 2 (Revo Remap, Forge DVs, and Tanoga SS) *
TimJMS x 2 (Revo Remap, Forge DVs, and Tanoga SS) *
FatBoy (Revo Trial ? )
NickM (Revo Trial ? )
RS4John (Tanoga SS)
Tanoga *
PhilT *

S4
TurkS4 x 2 (Revo Trial, Forge DVs, and Tanoga SS) *
biturbo *

S2
Lee
martinjs *

100 S4
Steve C

A4
Simon *

Spectators
Audi Parts Guru
JohnW
PaulS3
Riz S3
SiTaS3

* denotes confirmed.

Here are some additional details:

1. Power loss from flywheel to wheels - Many rolling roads calculate the power loss by dropping the clutch at the end of a power run to calculate the loss during deceleration; can you do this? We will have some stock RS4s, so hopefully if this is not possible we can calculate a rough loss from these cars.
We have some new dyno software which will give flywheel bhp and torque figures. I can run through this when everyone is here. We have specific vesions for 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, and 4 cylinder-4 wheel drive-turbo cars. It has been developed for specific models - like subaru wrx and Porsche, but may be quite accurate for the audi. We don't do a coastdown loss, but the system determines losses through the measurement of applied force on the rollers. Its quite complex.

2. What are your Saturday opening times?
Saturday, we'd like most people there by 9am. I'll run through the safety side of things, everyone can sign on, and the first car will be running at 9:30am.

3. What method of payment do you prefer?
We will accept credit cards (not amex) and cash. Its £50 for a power test (inc vat), or £80 for 2 runs as discussed.

When we are all done I suggest we go for a spot of food here.

Are we still going to a local for a food/beer/chat session afterwards?
I can then warn them. [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

PhilT,

As the RS4 mups will be done first (RS snobbery me thinks [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]) , what is a more sensible time for me to arrive as i am not really a early bird....especially after a few beers/JD the night before?

I was thinking in the region of 11.00am or is this too late?

Cheers....

Up to you mate. You can turn up when you want, as long as it doesn't impact on everybody else's day. We should aim to be there for 9 am IMHO.

Did I see something ealier in the original thread that suggested someone from Revotechnik would be there ?
If so, will they be offering their try before you buy free trial ? [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You are probably better off coming all the way down the M1 to J12, A5120, A5, A505, A418. [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Or more fun would be J14, A4146, A418 [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

By the way, is anyone going to bring along a VAG tool. Just curious as to what this little bugger can do.

Cheers
