Jetta 2.0 16v TDI - 301bhp & 440Ft/Lbs. Yes its a diesel...

Now that is impressive - jettas are really catching on, and to be fair they are the bargain of the century when compared to the price of a golf!

This car is ridiculous... saw it today at the pod. Spoke to one of the dark side guys (who was in the caddy), seemed like a nice chap bu no idea who it was.

Rich it'll been Scott in the Caddy, Ryan will have been in the Jetta? the Caddy will be in the region of 230bhp or not far off?

How do you find the Peloquin Ryan?  Im a bit underwhelmed by mine

I've always been impressed with it TBH, torque steer is non existant and it puts the power down nicely. The Jetta has been set up properly as well, corner weighted etc so that makes a big difference to the way it all feels

They should do, more space, all the same toys and a few grand cheaper than a Golf!

Could have been Me, Scott or Stef. Scott drove the Caddy most of the day, but I did a couple of runs and Stef was sat in it a few times in the queue.

Will post some new pics in a bit :)

I saw this beauty fly up the track at the Pod. Very quick off the the line

Can't  wait to see this at some point, and I have spoke to you guys over the phone a few times now for help, and you have been great not many places will entertain giving you advice unless your giving them money.

Saw this at the pod on sunday , it was amazing to see a diesel doing the 1/4 mile that quick  although the silver Fabia VRS was pretty crazy as well 

Keep up the awesome progress,

Ben

Also got a load of other photos on the facebook page from Santa Pod on Sunday:
 
Darkside Developments | Facebook
 
Also have a few good videos on our YouTube Channel:
 
Darkside TDI | YouTube Channel
 
If anyone has any more photos of videos, please let me know and I will upload them!
 
Results from the day:
 
Jetta Best Runs - 13.83 @ 104.3mph & 13.90 @ 104.7mph
 
Caddy Best Run - 15.48 @ 89.78mph
 
Regulars at the Pod were complaining of strong headwinds killing their times so we are glad to have (marginally) beat our times from before.
 
We managed to get 12 runs in the Jetta before we had a little mishap, which some people will have seen us pushing the car back over the start line!
 
Here is the damage:
 


 
Semi Slicks and a massive burnout to warm the tyres up don't go well with the sticky surface! We had a replacement driveshaft with us (always prepared) but the hubnut would not come lose! Ended up getting recovered to our Unit and it was back on the road by 9am on Monday!
 
Also updated the pics on the website for both the Jetta and the Caddy, some nice ones on there!
 
Cheers

Rich Stef's a bloke so i'm sure you wouldn't have known

[ryanp]

Easy to confuse him with a woman though, haha.

I call it the Marmite interior, some people love it, others hate it! I like it cos its different, if it was black leather you wouldn't notice it!
