30-130mph day Sunday 20th March!

[Sunglasses Ron]

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)      

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.

Well Cohiba did a 17. something last year in his APR Stage 2+ manual ED30, so i'm hoping for around 15 secs give or take. All will depend on the conditions really (headwind etc)..
No idea what a standard one would do TBH..   But would be good to know like you say..

sleeperSy!! But im not going in the fabia though

[Sunglasses Ron]

Should hopefully get a list of runners (cars) soon. Will have a word with Mechell tomorrow and see if she'll spill the beans as to what i'm up against.. I know there is about 6 MK1 FRS, 2 Mk2 FRS (Standard and 385bhp) a very highly modified Astra running a GT35  and 3 Focus ST's in different states of tune amoungst others..

remember never quote your full Hp.  Nothing better than catching someone out and then under quoting the Hp.  I stayed with my mates Mk2 FRS(standard) but told him i was only stage 2 and 260Hp, instead of stage 2+.  he was devastated

plus if you get your pants pulled down by something else you can say well im only stage 2....

I'm standard mate, standard.. (with a cat-back)

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

Hi Guys,

I'm still waiting for some of you to confirm you can make the new date.  Please let me know ASAP  mechell@lancerregister.com.  If you can't come, please call 08451 252623 for your refund.  If I don't hear from you, and you just don't show - no refund can be issued, sorry.

I want to see the exotica run!

Its a shame the event got moved a week forward as im getting my forge cooler fitted 3 days after the event now. My intake temps are already rising up to 40 degree over ambient 

Will have to make sure I get good runs on the first times of trying!

[Janner_Sy]

take a CO2 fire extinguisher and give it some on the IC, that will cool you IATs before a run

  I thought mine was bad in the summer having the oem cooler. Best hope for a cool day mate..

iv read that the TTRS cooler is some what lacking

Yeah its piddly, and yet for some reason the crazy german tuners think its adequate for stage 1

I also have a dilemma in which gear to start in. 1st gear goes up to 40mph but 2nd gear might be too long to get a decent paced pull from at 30! The k1 had the perfect gearing for 30 mph pulls, just stick it in 3rd and ride the torque!

Try doing what some of the Evo boys do Jas and do a standing start. That way you will have some decent momentum when starting from 30mph..

think I will do some runs with vagcom plugged in to see what roughly works the best!

[Janner_Sy]

start @ 10-20mph in 1st gear.  that way you look after your clutch and get the engine going in the sweet spot by the time you hit 30mph
