Na, he was to busy doing some practise runs and trying to keep his SWMBO amused before he actually got some timed runs in.. :signLOL:
Certainly didn't let us down though and with a 14.2 was only a second off a R35 GTR, which when you consider it's a manual too is fooking impressive in my eyes..  :congrats:

Good day had by all though and considering the Golf was one of the lowest powered cars there, it certainly held it's head above water IMO..  :smiley: Quickest FWD of the day too..  :booty:  :signLOL:
Only did the one top speed run and with my milk bottle tops having done nearly 80k, I wasn't arsed about playing russian roulette with the braking zone when showing 170 on the clock  :surprised:, so left it at that..
I forgot my fooking camera again, so no pics yet, but i'll drag some across when the other lads get theirs up..

Well done mate! You did us all proud :happy2:
Looks like there was some serious machinery there and you beat a lot of cars you shouldn't have in a little golf :grin:
ST2+ is awesome :jumpmove:

Cheers lads... She's not a bad old workhorse  :wink:
Best thing about it is, I took a load of crap to the tip in it yesterday and will be doing 200 miles in her for work tomorrow without making a single change to the car. Other than take off my window sticker (number) from today..  :smiley: That's what you call an great all rounder..  :happy2:

Great runs Ben :happy2:

I see the  big turbo VXR didn't get anywhere near you either :smiley:

Did the big bhp Focus turn up too? (assuming it did, but didn't beat you!)

The VXR didn't get the big blower on in time, but did have a hybrid K06 and was chucking out 340+ apparently, so went well. The 500bhp RS didn't show as he got snowed in up in Scotland, he was gutted and I don't blame him..  :sad1:
There was a 400bhp Mk2 FRS there though..  :wink:

wow, and the top speed from the measuring equip was 155, thats some difference lol.  Strange that you were quicker than the 2 S3's (#27/23) on the 30-130, yet they beat your top speed.  i thought you would have been a fair few mph faster being lighter.  Or were they mk1 big turbo'd?

They were both Stage 2+ mate.. As I said, I could of probably squeezed a few more mph out if I had done a few more runs and braked even later. But my brakes are standard don't forget and I wasn't really arsed about the top speed anyway tbh Sy (hence the reason for just doing the one run). The event is more about acceleration to me, so I left the 2 S3's to battle it out between them as they were mates and nice lads too.  :happy2:
Besides, lightness has nothing to do with top speed and I would fully expect a S3 in the same tune to match a Ed30 top end. The Ed30 would just get there quicker..  :booty: :signLOL:

I knew the speedo on mine over reads at speed (like most), but at 50mph, it was only 0.3mph out..  :confused:

which one was the '400hp' FRS?  Its difficult to guage th epower of cars.  We've seen how easy it is for a car to make 30-40Hp more than it realistically is.  What were his mods

the normal stage 2 FRS is running 380hp isnt it?  Either way you beat it though :grin:  did you have a chat with him?
