**MK5 GOLF GTI FORUM MEET** SANTA POD

[monte]

has bew said monte your car is looking superb on the 19s and liking the grill piping

Cheers Buddy 

Sorry I didn't meet up with everyone 

[Sunglasses Ron]

I think I would have had a quicker run if I'd have stayed in the wheelchair 

No grip for 1/8 mile then I just gave up 

My car was parked near the Left lane past the grandstand and was covered in a film of oil, I think the track was f###ed Vettel style.

That would explain my rather horrendous 60ft times then..

[fieldy83]

had a good day part from the wait in the que 2get down the strip :( lol but did run a 13.7  105mph was really slippy

What car were you in mate, Red Ed30?

i got the black 07plate ed30 with revo on the doors and bonnet bra

Yep, I saw you mate. Stickers on back windows too yeah? You manaul or DSG..?

Thats the one lol love me old stickers :) mine is a manual

[Blade]

Just been catching up on your day, seems the track was in a poor state and the que,s were too long. Glad i did n,t come now. Must be really disappointing for everyone concerned as it took a lot of organising. Thinking York will be my first 1/4 mile run next summer as its only 60miles from me.

Sunglasses Ron + RobH what times did you get?

[Janner_Sy]

you know that no one got good times, when they arent posted or discussed on here

[RobH]

I plan on going to york a few times next year its just over an hour for me. Practise makes perfect and i defo need the practise

  See page 23 of this thread mate..

Well i've just got in myself and i'm shattered.. Had to leave about half 3 as my mate had to get back for a meal. I did try and say my goodbyes to those who I could find (sorry Carlo  ).
As for the day, well, er, typical Santa Pod shambolic organisation again  Got there at 9:30 and straight in the queue.. Track opened around lunch time and managed a massive total of 3 runs (1 of which was a total balls up  ).
The start line was a joke, never known it to be as bad as that for traction and as a result my best 60ft time was a quite shocking 2.52  (ran a 2.2 on my previous 13.1 @ 109mph)..
Run 1



Run 2



So a nice improvement on my terminal speed (previously 109mph) and definately a 12 sec run in there when I get a normal 60ft time again. Just wish I could of got chance to have a couple more runs, but at nearly 2 hours between runs, that clearly wasn't happening.. 
Would of also been nice to have a chat with the rest of you guys too, instead of fecking queueing all day..

What car were you in mate, Red Ed30?

the red ed30 with the loud exhaust?

thats a stage 2 r-tec mapped car, he needs to change his map as its not running anywhere near to its potential.

That's right, I was chatting to the chap when we first arrived. DSG car as well and certainly had a loud exhaust.. Didn't see him run though as he was behind me. What did he get Jas?

Alex did a 13.7, think he had a 105mph term speed.

Have also found out what happened to my remap, or should we say lack of it. Basically my car has one of the newer anti tune ecu's. I had a AMD map loaded to it, and after a while the ecu somehow can work out that its been tampered with, and then throws a engine and epc light, with a checksum error when you scan the car. The only way to then get rid of the checksum error is to reflash stock software, or for the tuner to have a map with a code that has cracked or bypassed the anti tune features.

Car is going back to AmD wednesday to hopefully get its oomph back

I think bens done some respectable times! 12.88 from a stock TTRS on my first ever run in it with a passenger is pretty good aswell. If I got a perfect slingshot launch I reckon the RS would do 12.6s easy if not a 12.5.

[joesgti]

^^what do u think it will do when mapped again??11.9?

Well considering that a stage 2 plus fwd car can match my time stock and have a much higher terminal, and knowing that with a map the RS will be a car length infront of a stage 2 plus car from a rolling start at 30mph in 3rd (rs would be in 2nd) once the k04 has to change gear, id say a 11.9 to 12 would be a realistic aim.

Jonny with lightned alloys, sticky tyres, and no cat has done a 11.6 with a stage 2 map.

I bet the big ass 19's don't help mate.. You got any plans to change the rims on yours as part of your project pal?

Yeah I will at some stage, might have to stay with 19s though if I decide to fit the rs6 v10 brake kit though.

[wigit]

in reality those 19s look the absolute nuts on your car porverty to don't bin them on a permanent basis 

you can get prorace 1.3s in 19s though :)
