db Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 So what power are we expecting from it?It's just standard! So there's no expectation from it at all, from what i've seen on the awesome graphs they usually come out at between 230 and 240 bhp although the odd one gets above that but that's very rare unless it's modified. I mostly want to just see what's it's running as standard so i have a base point for when i get things done to it, matt was just taking the pi ss a bit I mean it was only ever a weekend car before so it's not been run properly the engines still quite tight so i'm not expecting it to break barriers. Your Megane i'd expect to put out more than this as it's modded, it's likely to be quicker as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Got the Forge FMIC fitted this morning. The bumper alignment needs a bit of work between now and Saturday but hey it's all about the power isn't it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Ok Ladies/Gents, I've spoken to Awesome this morning and it's all go for Saturday. The day will start at 9am and RR operator will give a brief talk before we get started. I've amended the running order to add Faithless in to the list as we had a spare place. If we have anyone who can't make it can they let me know asap so l can re-arrange things. When you arrive you'll need to go into the Awesome shop and sign/pay up and they'll direct you from there. I'll give them a copy of our proposed running order.Awesome RR Day 23rd February - 9am startFWD – Lupo & Arosa1 - Toi Gulp - Lupo GTI 2 - Tallika Fan - Lupo Sport 3 - Tallika Fans Mrs - Lupo Gti 4 - Andrew (Payna) - Lupo Gti 5 - Lupo Gaz - Lupo Gti6 - Jen - Lupo GTi7 - Matty Gti - Lupo Gti8 - Moono 16v - Lupo Sport9 - Lupo T - Lupo Sport 10 - Dub 18 - Lupo Gti 11 - AndyP - Lupo Gti 12 - One Litre Wonder - Seat Arosa 13 - VinnyGti - Lupo Gti 14 - Pete (Petes 16v Sport) - Lupo Sport15 - Faithless - Arosa SportFWD - Other16 - SPARE17 - Wardy - Fabia vRS 18 - Matt a - Golf GT Tdi 19 - Poobah - Megane 225 Cup4WD - Other20 - db - R32 21 - SPAREReserves:nfbr - Suzuki Swift Sport Angelo77 - Lupo gtiPaul.ekc - LupoCrash - Lupo gtiDeano - Unidentified LupoCheersChris Edited February 20, 2008 by Poobah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_M Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Really sorry, but having to pull my Audi RS6 and Ibiza Cupra out of this one. I am in the process of renovating a new venue for my work and we are working to a tight schedule. I'd be missing a day's graft.It's a shame, as I was looking forwards to the day.Apologies for the late notice, but I hope to get them both down to either a meet or RR day soon.

Poobah Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 No problem Dave, l've sourced some replacements already. Would have been great to see the RS6 on the rollers. Proper wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Ok guys, l've drafted some outside help for the spare spots from Briskoda. Also thought having these guys come along would provide a useful comparison to the Lupo Gti's given they both have similar standard bhp values.Awesome RR Day 23rd February - 9am startFWD – Lupo & Arosa1 - Toi Gulp - Lupo GTI 2 - Tallika Fan - Lupo Sport 3 - Tallika Fans Mrs - Lupo Gti 4 - Andrew (Payna) - Lupo Gti 5 - Lupo Gaz - Lupo Gti6 - Jen - Lupo GTi7 - Matty Gti - Lupo Gti8 - Moono 16v - Lupo Sport9 - Lupo T - Lupo Sport 10 - Dub 18 - Lupo Gti 11 - AndyP - Lupo Gti 12 - One Litre Wonder - Seat Arosa 13 - VinnyGti - Lupo Gti 14 - Pete (Petes 16v Sport) - Lupo Sport15 - Faithless - Arosa SportFWD - Other16 - Petr - Fabia vRS - Representing Briskoda17 - GSPK - Fabia vRS - Representing Briskoda18 - Wardy - Fabia vRS - Representing Briskoda19 - Matt a - Golf GT Tdi 20 - Poobah - Megane 225 Cup4WD - Other21 - db - R32 Edited February 20, 2008 by Poobah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
