The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Alright Folks,
I'm just guaging interest at the moment but is any one interested in visiting the rollers say towards the end of January early Feb? I'll be throwing my P&J up there to see what she puts out once the turbo is fitted, and the irish mitsi owners club are looking to join the two clubs together for the day.
Can people let me know who's interested so we can get some numbers!

Myfeckin FTO with his GPX and his mate with a Paj EVO will be attending.

Good stuff, might as well start a list!!

4. Mustang manual GR (provisionally). I've a stag party in Jan and corresponding wedding in Feb -not mine btw
Any idea of costs at this stage Dave?

not sure on prices yet, but the more the merrier i suppose and the more that are there the less it will cost us individually! and now with the Irish Misti club going as well there should be a fairly good turn out.
I'll add you to the list provisionally so

Sounds good, I'll probably be on for it, but will need to check closer to the date. Sure add me to the list!

For the igorant who's never been to a rolling road day (that would be me ) what's involved, just put the car on rollers, throw it in gear and drive on? How long does it take per car, if we have a big turn out is it likely to go on all day?

Kev.

Kev, basically that's all they do, they put your car up, and they stick it in i think third is what they test and drive it to the limit basically, each car probably takes say 15 minutes, granted there may be a bit of tricking around and what not, but it could be an all day session, depends on how interested you are in hanging around, last day we were out it was pretty cold! but it was worth it to hear the mivec kicking in, indoors! Some sound!

Now that I remember it, Martin @ Westward owes myself and Nigel a free run, must speak with him about it if Enfields the destination.

CJ

V interested in attending, although I may not go back on the rollers this time (still basking in the glory of my highest BHP win last time).

I haven't made any changes since the last time so wouldn't expect any power outpuot diffs

I'm planning on getting the golf revo'd in jan so I'd be on assuming I'm in the country - I'll be away from 24th jan until 14th feb at the world alpine skiing champs....

Any likely date on this yet?

Hows the turbo install going Dave?

Kev.

see this i cannot understand, ive just sold a 02 toyota mr2 for 25,500, and even took off the full sports exhaust system ( 3,000 ) and exchanged it for my girlfriends second '00 mr2 original setup,

HOW COME the ftos are so cheap over here ( ireland ), ive sold two so far in england, the third lies in my driveway, its for me though, ive had it out unreged , naughty, i know.... just to give it a go, another 1999 GPX manual..... its a f*****ng animal compared to the mr2................................ so wot im saying, drunkenly is that i would love to attend the rolling road, just as a spectator as it will be in my girlfriends Mr2

Any more updates on this one? I'm gonna go up to Westward this weekend to get the free trial Revo software. I away then from 26th Jan to 16th Feb but will probably get the full Revo done fairly soon after that - would be cool to get it done at a rolling road meet - I think I need a fix of FTO noise...

well it'll be early to mid feb for me now at this stage.

Mid feb (i.e. after the 16th) would be good

yeah well my birthday is the 17th so i reckon i'd be unwell that day, or at least incapable of driving!

Dave wrote:yeah well my birthday is the 17th so i reckon i'd be unwell that day, or at least incapable of driving!

I'll throw the 26th out there as a date - should give you time to recover

i can't guarantee anything!

Dave wrote:yeah well my birthday is the 17th so i reckon i'd be unwell that day, or at least incapable of driving!

2 days before mine, ditto on the driving front!
For what its worth, I'll be out of the country the weekend of the 18th.
At this stage we really should be looking at getting a date down so as people can plan for it. Any indication when you're gonna be ready to go Dave?

A date would be cool - I've just arranged to go to Westward on friday afternoon to get that Revo free trial - hope it's as good as people say

Can someone check out Sat Feb 26th with Westward as a possible date. The sooner we fix a date - the better chance we will have for guys to plan for it.

I could check tomorrow cause I'm planning on heading up there to get this free trial for the Revo chip.
