Decided to head on down to the drag strip tonight. I had not taken the Golf R down the 1/4 mile at all, even when it was stock. Since performance mods had been done for a while now and it's pushed out 220kw at all 4 wheels on the dyno, I wanted to see how this translated on the drag strip.
- The car was not stripped of anything. It was full weight, including spacesaver + jack and tools in the boot.
- Tires pumped to about 42psi. Dunlop SportMaxx GT (235/45/19)
- 2/3 fuel left in the tank when I arrived. BP Ultimate 98RON.
Did 4 runs. The first run I did was my best run of the night.
First run : 12.908 @ 106.75mph. 2.049 60ft.
Second run : 13.042 @ 106.29mph. 2.104 60ft.
Third run : 12.938 @ 106.77mph. 2.080 60ft.
Fourth and final run : 12.952 @ 107.43mph. 2.069 60ft.
Overall, it was pretty fun and it was great to know that it pulled consistent numbers. Curious to find out what it'd do if it was stripped of un-necessary weight, but I enjoyed the fact that the Golf R, being such a versatile car that it is, came up to the drags in full street trim, ran consistent 12's, and got me back home hassle free.
Next thing I might consider doing is a DSG Reflash. I have yet to do this and have heard it may improve the times a little bit as well as getting rid of the sluggishness in feel in D mode.

I approve of the reverse light mod. Should really do it on my MK5 GTI too.
As for the strip times, was that even on the 19" too? If so, then it was a pretty decent time for sure.
Doing a DSG map does make a massive improvement from drivability and also quicker times. Done a few here in NZ.
Keep up the modding and updating.

Thanks for that mate! yeah the reverse light mod is great! Completes the rear as far as I'm concerned.
The times were done as you see the car above. 19x9 ET37 all round, Dunlop Sportmaxx GT street tyres 235/45/19, full weight in the car including spacesaver and all the tools/jack, 2/3 fuel in the tank, 42PSI. It ran 12.9 all night.

Interesting that you put your pressure up on the tyres? I have always seen improvements well on a FWD by reducing the tyre pressure.
Something I was thinking about over the weekend, simply jump into the VCDS under CECM (If I recall correctly) and simply disable rear Fog in the coding. Then that error should seize to exist also?? Well just a thought.
