Finally- sub 10seconds to 100mph!!!!!!
« on: April 06, 2010, 03:45:16 pm »
Finally, finally made it (on the private drive!!)

Flat, with a slight kink and a very slight uphill end bit.



How did I achieve it?

Today lost 63.4 kg out of the back of the car (seat backs, bench, trim, spare wheel and sub box)
Octane booster and B7T7F7 settings.
1/4 tank of fuel left.
Launch control at 2.2k with R888's onboard.

So that is one of my goals achieved, now all I need is a sub 13 second run on an official dragstrip and a sub 9 minute FULL lap of the 'ring and I'll be one majorly happy bunny. :jumping: :driver:

Time to change the sig. maybe :signLOL:
Golf R gone.

Not far off. About another £10k maybe :signLOL:

Anyone can buy a fast standard car, but it is more fulfilling to make a decent car fast and it will also be more unique and who'd suspect a Golf to do a sub 10 second run to 100mph eh? :happy2:

That is a bloody quick 100 time not for a golf but in general

and a 0 - 60 time in 4.6 seconds is bloody mental for FWD thats got to be some sort of record, what have you done to the car to put down the power ? width tyres ? ect ect.

Also what kind of performance meter are you using mate, racelogic or someone else and how do you rate it, im looking in to buying one at the moment Cheers !

JonnyC has done similar 0-60 times in his ED30 (a 4.5 at inters), so not quite a record.

Tyres are GG rated R888's on 225/45/17 mounted on Team Dynamics 7.5x17 alloys. They have a 6mm wider footprint than the equivalent 18" R888.

To put the power down the Bilstein B16's are at setting 7 on the rear to help stop the front lifting as much, WALK, Autotech ARB's, Quaife LSD, full VF engine and transmission mounts and most importantly DSG with REVO stage 2 DSG map.

I'm using The Racelogic performance box - GPS based and accurate to 100mm in 400m, 0.1km/h and 0.1seconds. I think just about all the performance magazines use the same kit to measure performance. I know EVO and Autocar do. It is an excellent piece of kit and does much more than just 0-60 and 0-100mph. It will do any distance (1/4,1/8,1/2 mile etc), lap times with upto 6 section markers, True G meter for accel, decel, lateral G's, Accelleration Dyno for WHP and BHP + much more.

Was in this car last week on't drag strip (learning the North East English accent quickly me), and it is very fast. Also saw this timer device, and its very cool!
