Following on from my 'whos interested' thread, i thought i'd put up a proper thread now i know people are interested and that i can link into from GC. 
It will be at A&M Conversions in Deeside, which is easy to get to from the Wirral, M56 and North Wales. Postcode for the place is CH5 2HW. They are a vauxhall specialists, so the (likely few) of you who have got a vauxhall, they may be of use to you in the future with regards to tuning.
There are some pics of the place on their website: A&M Conversions
The date is set for Sunday 18th April, so as to give people time to get work booked off or whatever. It will be £20 per car. You will get 2 runs and graphs from them and they are also going to organise a butty van to be outside so bring some money for bacon butties. 
We ran one at Dyno Demon last year and it was a cracking day, so im hoping that everyone turns out and its gonna be a cracking day.
I have already build up a decent list of names, but im hoping that if this is the first you have seen of it...get your name down.
Looking for 15-20 cars, and only put your name down if you are able to get money in asap, as i dont want to be let down by non-payers.
u2u me if you need anymore info.
Everything needs to be confirmed by Monday 15th March so i can say yes to the place.
Payment List:
Chrex - Accord Type R PAID
Marc D - Fiesta XR2/Escort XR3i PAID
Adam-D - Vaux Corsa & BMW 328CiPAID

dyno demon is the same though...that guy's not got a clue either, know a few people who got their cars killed by 'CAS Motorsport'.
Last time we were there he had a cossie in there...and couldnt be arsed with it. Bit of a dickhead.

yeah i know him and his brother. both full of shit, his brother is just nieve and listens to what his brother says, a&m and john hardman both infamous round n.wales.
lads who used to always be there dont even want to know the lad because hes a prick who is very obnoxious, ig he thinks hes right and you know hes wrong he will just argue. he claims silly figures for his cars when they dont make the power. i know a few people who have been once and never go again.
hes one reason why ive built my all steel XE to porve that the one he built for his brother was way under powered when claimed it was a 270bhp motor.
as for specialist...everyones a specialist but suprise suprise most of the cars that come from specialists go to andy/ades. theres a rr day at theres on the 10th april.
just dont believe everything you read, a good advert can hide alot of things.
ade took an ultima GTR to dyno demon to map as it maxxed there rollers out...as you know ade holds the car at set points, he did that on tdyno demon rollers to guy had to stop them and sugn a disclaimer. dyno demons ide of mapping is .....run the car...if rich, lean map off everywhere, if lean, richen the map everywhere.
its easy enough to buy a rolling road its another how to use it properly.+ flywheel figures are a load of bollox and never accurate, just good for pub talk

i would have asked andy/ade, but they always seem real busy...and i didnt know they did big sessions tbh.
All we are going for is power runs, so they should be ok...like when we went to D.Demon. I wouldnt take my car anywhere near there for tuning. He told me my GSi was running 'dangerously lean' when i went last year, but ade said that it was fine.
Thanks for the info phil...but it will do for gettin together to enjoy a meet and get some graphs done.

Cool, we are up to 16 cars...so as long as everyone can get the money sorted to go in the next week or so, we'll be laughin'

Aye, 430 ish with the handbrake on, it was more the fact that they did around 6-7 runs and eventually realised when someone watching saw smoke coming off the back brakes
