yeah i was happy with the times considering.... had launch issues, wasnt getting any traction at all so had to hold the brake and then plant the power once let off the brake (dsg) managed at 14.2

i did 5 runs, and they just werent getting any quicker so decided to quit while i was ahead... got home and started looking for dsg re maps and booked it on the monday, so hoping they can help out with the launch control then do some more practice before the next rwyb day

That's the one, we were in the white MK6 GTi.

I have to admit there was mild disappointment as I was hoping to hear a 6 cylinder engine, but it certainly went well and still sounded great :happy2:

i had a sudden thought yesterday, and it did cross my mind if it was you in the mk6 :)

cheers for the comments, sorry to disappoint on the 6 cyclinder front ;) might have to make mine louder

No really nice example, and I am glad you gave us a quick demo of the mods :happy2:

Got a Carbonio, Blueflame TBE and going stage 2 in the new year, won't be as quick as yours but certainly should liven it up, can't wait :jumping:
