....VWR have been getting carbonfibre parts made for their race cars for a while but, as you know, they don't hard sell.


Yes, but they don't even have it on any marketing literature or their website  :confused:  Plus when I showed Mark he said it looked good and didn't say anything about VWR CF products...  :sad:

....Yes, but you know VWR as well as I do - Their priorities are preparing race cars rather than selling parts.

It'll possibly work its way eventually onto their next pdf.

I'll be speaking to Mark tomorrow to give an appraisal of the solid engine mounts and mention the carbon fibre stuff at the same time... TBH, I won't be able to afford any more panels until late summer - August - now anyway... spent waaaaaay too much on the Ed30 - could have easily done a turbo conversion on the R32 and some more instead...  :surprised:

But I love my Ed30  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Update..

So, had a really good day at Santa Pod today.. Only ran the car twice but I was very pleased with the results!

60ft..  2.2670
330ft.. 5.6531
ET..  8.3467
MPH.. 91.52
ET.. 10.5924
ET.. 12.6017
MPH.. 115.85

I had another run but was down 8 hundredths..

Pretty pleased considering the car was ran on the standard K04 turbo, normal pump fuel, road legal tyres, and in road trim! So I didn't do anything for the day, so its a true road car time!

I was a little disappointed not to drop into the 12.5's but I put that down to the lower trap speeds, the ambient temp was up a fair bit over the last day I ran and also there was a huge que for the strip, so the car got heat soaked to death before both runs.. It really didn't feel as crisp as it does out on the road during a run around..

Anyways just shows what bolt on parts can do, and the weight coming out makes a huge difference too!

As far as I know that time makes this MK5 the fastest 2.0T FSI car in the UK and the fastest MK5 in the UK. Also the fastest DSG MK5 in the world.. Which is quite cool! : )

Dont think im going to run again until someone beats that time, give my car a rest I think..

In the mean time its only going to get faster! haha..
