13.1 @ 111mph :sad1:

conditions were poor yesterday, car gripped rely well but couldn't break through to 12s. IAT's were through the roof.

needs to get some mounts on the car as the stocks are totally shagged now :grin:

was good to meet Hurdy had a good chat, that polo looks better every time i look at it lol.

on a side note is there anyway to reduce the response time on the launch control? it seemed like a age from letting off the peddle to the car launching

Don't think there is mate tbh. But it won't affect your ET anyway, so it only becomes a slight issue if you are wanting to race the car next to you.. Even then you can anticipate it slightly...
It is a bit of a PITA though..

^^^ Exactly. Your times is based on when you set off, not when the lights change. You get a poor reaction time but that shouldn't effect you run.

13 seconds is good. in comparison, my stage 1 ed30 ran 14.14 @ 102 a few months ago. (with a boot full of gear)

Gunna give the car a good service as it developed a mild misfire. Get some solid mounts on and head up again in September if anybody wants to join us

Id strongly advise against solid mounts, the bsh or vf will do you fine, unless of course you want your teeth in your lap. what were the conditions yesterday and what was your 60ft times?

Conditions were ok in terms of grip and I got a nice sun tan but it was far to hot for the car, loads of timing pull and IAT's were sky high, still had great fun.

I have decided to keep te car retire it as a DD and throw loads more power at it 450-500bhp is going to be the target.

I keep wondering if a dsg remap is worth it, that LC lag is crazy

The DSG map is awesome and really does help times on the strip.
Golf R gone.

DSG map it very good and well worth having. Whether it will help you on the strip or not is debatable though as the LC delay will still always be there. The changes are very slightly faster/smoother and you can hold on to a gear longer, but that will only benefit you if you are running big power on the top end of the rev range.
I found the DSG map more useful on the road than anything else, but would definitely recommend it either way..

What were your 60ft times mate?

60ft times were in the 2secs, quickest was 2.02sec

Think next mod will be a intercooler and throw some WMI on her

Apr don't do a dsg map so do I go revo or r-tec hmm

I would imagine both will give the same benefits - although I'm not that clued up on R-Tec's software, so can't comment too much..

A 2.02 60ft time is very very good mate and without full slicks (assuming you were using track rubber), I doubt very much you will go much/any quicker tbh. My best 60ft time in my Ed30 was 2.27, but that was standard road tyres (PS2's).
I would imagine you are going to need more power/less weight to get in the 12's. Either that or just run on a much cooler day.
Was the car stripped at all?

yeh was using yoko ad08 tyres.

The car was pulling back massive amounts of timing due to heat, at one point we were see -9 pull. i think my stock cooler is letting things down. also the missfire while mild was making boost recovery after gear change a little slower.

Rear seats were out but other than that full weight

like i said still had great fun, willm spend some more £ on bits and go again untill i hit 12s or blow my gear box up :jumping:

Gearbox will be fine I'm sure.. Mine was running stock cooler and always suffered in the summer. I would wait until the temps drop (Oct time) until you run it again. Either that or get a FMIC..
