On Saturday 20th November 2010 CWC headed off to Teg Sport in Carnforth for a rolling road day on their 4WD rollers. 17 cars turned up to run, with only 16 making it onto the rollers and only 15 managing a power run. A Nissan GTR is fitted with a flat under tray, so there is nothing to use to tie it to the rollers, and removing the under tray would have taken too much time, so unfortunately it couldn't run. We also had an automatic Scooby that would not stay in a single gear, so couldn't produce a power run.

    In the cars that did run there were a few surprises - a lot of happy faces and a few owners left scratching their heads. A few faults were found with cars running lean and with lumpy power delivery due to lack of mapping. A couple of cars ran unmodified, and made near enough book power so the rollers cant be too far from the truth. With the number of cars running a few interesting comparisons could be made - mild cams on a Pug 106 GTI don't necessarily net you much extra power, and some paid a lot more than others to get exactly the same remap on their VAG diesel engines

    The rollers recorded wheel torque, and the Dyno Dynamics software converted the figure to flywheel horsepower (shown in the printouts below) using a different in built conversion factor for each type of transmission.
