Ahh explains it then, the tyre fitters I went to see today didn't have any idea when they were expecting to have them on the system but form what they have been told there's not a lot out there that would be able to touch them pound for pound.Luke

As for the strip, you'll have the Mk5 Golf section well and truely in the bag, but depending on what turns up for the FWD crown that's another battle all together (Jabba's Mk2 Golf will take some beating )..Looking forward to seeing the new additions though bud as she seems to be coming along nicely..Oh and them rims.. Well I want to have the fastest FWD 2.0T FSI, that is the main goal.. Then fastest MK5 obviously will almost be part of that as at the moment the fastest FWD 2.0T FSI cars are mainly MK5's..The fastest FWD car will be a bit of a mission! Although I doubt that MK2 runs on road fuel or tyres does it??Quote from: TurboTrev on May 17, 2009, 04:07:32 pmRe. the wide tyres, won't there be a drag issue caused by the amount of rubber that's in contact with the tarmac?The only issue will be launching it from high enough revs such that it doesn't bog down on the start..

Mate I should think you'll have the 2.0 TFSI honours well and truely in the bag. Unless Big Andy is attending/running and has made some changes/more mods and also got another driver? As that car will always have the traction advantage, if launched right and Brunters surface isn't the best as mine suffered last year. Still think you'll own it though.. As for the big boys in the FWD class, you're right, they aint exactly 'Road Trim'..
Well Regal never seem to perform when it comes to it IMO and their/your white Golf seems to be no quicker than mine was (unless there is any new mods since the other month) and yours is in another leaugue to what mine is/was..I just think unless there is a big powered S3 their (like 450+bhp) with a good driver, you'll take it. As even though you will have it on the roll, it just depends on how far ahead the S3 gets away from you off the line and whether there is enough time to catch it..

Time doesn't start until u trip the starting beam. so you should just make sure you have the right revs to launch it at the right time, not when they change from red light to green light.
I think someone will need a jet engine sticking out of the back of their GTI to beat Jonny OOOPS....gotta go.....RAF on the phone
Yeah I know mate, but FWD vs 4WD on a gravelly type surface is only going to produce one winner when getting off the mark (1st gear) is concerned.. But once traction is in hand JC's is going to take some beating..
Yeah he was wondering why you kept backing off Loving the sound of the update mate-looking forward to it!!!!oh and may be we should organise a little convoy down to gti international as am going to go down on the sunday
Although, it does depend just how bad the traction off the line is.. Do they let you burn out before the start?
