STLuke Registered: 08/08/10 Posts: 1221 Loc: London	the guy at AMD seemed pretty cool, think it would have been longer on the rollers if any of the cars were actually having a remap but it was only for BHP readings.. id go there again and maybe even go on the rollers! _________________________ Diamond White MillTek Exhaust & Manifold Pipercross Filter and custom Remap Lenso Samurai D1r Alloys Toyos Eibach Pro Kit 181BHP

I undertstand this... but when you order a Clown for a childrens party. You don't want him to come in... show you all the tricks in 5mins and then go again. You want him to take some time and go through the tricks slowly. For £300 i believe he should have opened things up for at least until 2-3pm. Shutting down 9am - 10:30 is just crazy. Only reason he had to wait was because Adam was late. I agree the rollers need a refurb but more importantly the garage needs a re-furb. The acustics of the rolling road are simply stupid. Why he build a garage around it I don't know, it just hightens the noise ten fold. No body could see the car running and there was no screens set up so you could follow the run. It felt very clinical. I like to be able to get up close to the rollers and see the car run and hear the noise of the car/engine/exhaust... not just a WUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I don't know, maybe I'm picky and not up to speed on this whole speedy business. _________________________

STASON Registered: 05/01/11 Posts: 5720 Loc: UK, Essex	guys the best rolling roads are as follows North http://www.aetturbosonline.co.uk/ Midlands http://www.garage786.co.uk/index.php?garage786=cmsdetail1&id=10&catid=1 South http://www.btecracing.co.uk/index.htm all of them can handle up too 1000bhp on each axle. I've never heard of, or known for that matter anyone taking their cars to amd rolling roads probably more common for the lower end of the market if your driving pugs saxo's or generally low mph cars.

Adam08 Site Supporter Registered: 15/10/08 Posts: 15118 Loc: Harpenden, Hertfordshire	The idea of the garage is probably that they can but the shutter down when remapping cars during the week so the people working in the rest of garage don't have to hear it The place I went to in nottingham is doing the same, so that people working on cars don't have to listen to it _________________________ 407BHP and 340lbft TD GT28/32 hybrid turbo, 3inch decat, 2.75inch exhaust, air intake + large MAF, injectors, fuel pump, tubular manifold
