Rolling Road open day in Reading

Post by Renaud »

Hello All,

I don't know if any of you have seen the below on Piston heads:

http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.as ... l#topicTop

But it looks like CFM engineering in Reading are running a rolling road facility at a discounted rate (£35), so if your near Reading and wanted to find out what BHP your Z'd is or isn't putting out, this could be a good opportunity.

Good Luck,

R

There was one near Northampton during the bad weather that I nearly had the car built in time for.

I want to do a rolling road test to get a base level before I start doing upgrades.

Might turn up just to see, I haven't bothered putting mine on the rolling road list as I currently have a full tank of 95 RON which I don't think is helping the running. Stupidly I hadn't realised that I should be running it on Super 98 RON. :head:

Be good to meet some like minded Z owners though if anyone else is going.

Well i went, track car (328 sport) got 233hp at the fly wheel (206bhp wheels) with 222ftlbs of torque.

Still a little more to come but not bad for a 16 yr old car with 114K on the clock. Will post dyno as soon as i get it.
