30-130mph day Sunday 20th March!

[Shins]

385hp on superchips rollers??    Is this their stage 2 version of software.  be good to see how the equivalent tuned Ed30 gets on with it.  30-130 takes out the element of getting the launch right, so should be a good comparison

To be honest all these false claims should be finished now as Ford have given out the latest CJ updates, so cars should now match all the quotes given! Not sure what stage of tune this is but like I said, should make for an interesting day!

Think Pov is speaking from experience Rod, as he has had a few run ins with Stage 3 RS' when he had his Cupra..
Similar outcome to this I think...

[Poverty]

Yeah a group of mk2 focus rs owners came down to the local hunting ground and the cupra showed em that the 2.0tfsi k04 is still the . The rs where a claimed 385bhp! Wasnt a massive difference but then  the cupra is manual unlike the quickest eddies.

URGENT! 30-130 WEEKEND DATE CHANGED

I've just been informed by RAF Marham that the MOD now have an "urgent operational requirement" to use the Marham airfield on the 19th & 20th March. This means the 30-130 dates cannot go ahead over this weekend, but the Station has offered us the airfield/runway to run the event over the previous weekend of 12/13th March;

Saturday 12th March: MLR and GTROC
Sunday 13th March: 22B.com, AudiSRS, Ford RS etc

The Station understands this is far from ideal and have expressed their extreme apologies but regrettably it is unavoidable, and as RAF Marham is an operational airbase this is always a possibility whenever this event runs.

Please can any Mk5GolfGti members who are booked into Sunday 20th March contact me immediately by calling 08451 25 26 23 or email - and let me know if you can or cannot run on the new date. If you can you don't need to do anything else, but if not I will refund your booking fee and remove your name from the spreadsheet.

Can I just add my apologies for any problems this has caused, but I'm sure you'll all understand the restrictions RAF Marham are under and appreciate the overwhelming fact that they continue to allow us to use their operational airfield!

Thanks,

Chell

be interested to see how your 380hp handles the rest of the 340hp-360hp stage 2+ cars
Loads of stage 2+ cars on here mate http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16977.0.html

Would have thought the stage 2+ Ed30s will get the legs on you for this.  They normally beat the S3s on the 1/4 mile, so once you remove the off the mark grip advantage by doing 30-130mph id imagine they should do well.

Whats the spec on your car?

To be fair Sy, an equivlent spec S3 should  be slightly quicker or very close over the 1/4 compared to a ED30, due to the advantage off the line. The Ed30's carry a lot more terminal speed (between 3-7mph difference) over the finish and will be catching very quickly, but it would be very close IMO..
Only problem is, there hasn't been a lot of Stage 2+ S3's that have run at Pod, especially S-Tronic ones. But I would expect a 12.6-12.8 from a good Stage 2+ S-Tronic S3 with launch control etc..
But like you say, 30-130 will be a different kettle of fish and should easily favour the Ed30. All down to me then (being the only Golf going)     But who knows against this S3    

[coupekidd]

Silly question but are you allowed to use bikes at this event?

would love to run my Kwak

[Sunglasses Ron]

Nope..

get yourself across to AMDs rollers.  £70 run on them will gain you 40Hp easily then your off and running    what sort of times are you expecting anyways?

be interested to know what a stock ed30 can do it in so we can compare your stage 2+ to it.
