GTI SPRING FESTIVAL - SANTA POD – SUNDAY 11TH APRIL

[GTIjames]

here you go ben



i really need to improve my 60ft times..

[Rich]

Why was the tarmac wet... is there a reason for this ? To me it just makes things worse.. or does it?

[Chris]

dont think its wet, its some sort of adhesive for better traction i think

[Sunglasses Ron]

here you go ben



i really need to improve my 60ft times..

Some 1.2's will help too I reckon..  
My best run..


Have done a 111mph terminal before though. Will find the ticket..
You can see where the Stage 2 comes in once moving over the 1/8th mile.

Was good to see a few of you today, sorry i didnt come over, i was quite ocupied on the stand and when i did go for a wounder i seemed to stop every few meters to talk to people :-)

Yep, my fastest time was indeed a 12.79   was really pleased with that considering it hasnt got half the mods jonnys had to get a 12.6! I recon a 12.5 could be on the cards when i have fitted my diff, engine mounts, some 235 rubber, a better intercooler and got some more weight out! (all i took out was the lardy seats to fit the corbeau, and spare wheel)

Was a really good show tho, the most busy i have ever seen it!

BTW all your cars were soo clean and nice, it put mine to shame! haha

What terminal speed did you run mate? What engine mods do you have (if there is anymore than your sig says. Pump etc?)?

[xxx_mojo_xxx]

my fave was the blue with osir front and r32 ars!- looked so good!
What exhaust is that mate?

That sounds like mojo's car. I love the look of it too. I thought he had a resonated milltek? I'm sure he'll correct me thoug.   

Sounds like my puppy!  You're correct it's a resonated milly ...

I can't remember without going to the car, think I got 111 on a run, not sure if that was my fastest tho!
The only other mod that I haven't added to my sig yet is the autotech pump :-) we saw 350 bhp on the rollers but it gets hot quick, anywho it's all about the amount of usable power band and nice ammounts of torque over peak power! I think I'm going to wrap the intake pipe too after feeling how hot it was today! the poor little intercooler was struggling to keep it all cool! Haha

[Rich]

Right,

More pictures to follow,

Firstly, i'd just like to say, it was brilliant to see all the familiar faces again. Its a great forum to be a part of, everyone's extremely friendly and NO NATHAN, you may not swap cars with me

na dsg :-) manual would probably have been better for getting of the line, the way the clutches bite in on the dsg makes I hard to judge wheelspin!

Cheers for the pics rich, there mega :-)
