Rolling Road footage
For any of you rolling road virgins (like I was until yesterday), here's the reality of what happens. Terrifying but soo worth it in the end
Mine is the second (red) Tiger. I didn't watch - my mate (with the blue Tiger) videod it. You'll see me make a sharp exit at 4 mins and 6
seconds! Turn the sound up!

first time on the rollers,...............followed closely by the first blowup or jump out of the rollers, are the real adrenalin ones
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

157 bhp on mine (standard Zetec)
180 bhp on Nigel's (Dunnell Zetec)
Dead chuffed actually, I was hoping for 150. Cams, port and polish over winter I think

Oh, and what I should say really is that the car is so much nicer to drive. Really smooth delivery, nice and torquey and a nice idle. Well worth the
money. Gerald is the man if you run carbs!

When I was having my Powercommander map done pre SVA, I just left it with them for the week (they were doing it in between other jobs). So much better
when it was done but I was quite surprised at the half a tank of fuel they'd used (and I was assured that it had only been on the rollers once
and not been touched the rest of the time)

hadn't been used for shopping, commuting etc

When I had my power commander mapped we used 3/4 of a tank. I had to fill up to get home. We had to keep stopping for a brew to let the RR cool.
If you think thats scarry try listening to an R1 going to 13500rpm... repeatedly. Then be stood next to it when it tries to bounce, jump and dance out
of the rollers at 150mph.

I've been to the dyno many times now with my cars over the years. I'm not totally happy with going any distance UNTIL its been on the
rollers and run hard a few times.
Just remember every time you accelerate hard through the gears you're giving it just as much stick. Maybe even more due to the road undulations
and wind resistance. On the rollers its being run up in a controlled environment with monitoring equipment and usually several on lookers!
