Ok both of them are going to the meet and have been talking about a bit of battle for ages. :evilgrin:
I have left the option open to change your vote, just in case one of them goes mad and bolts on a big turbo, boys will be boys. :driver:
Joe has predicted his BHP at 250. :chicken:
Phil is standard with DSG at 230ish
Gentlemen start your voting. :driver:

oh and TC.....u in a daft mood as usual!! :signLOL:

Just trying to get as many peeps along to the meet as possible Joe same as you. :drinking:

well if you want lots to turn up then we would have to advertise on other forums as a mk5golfgti.co.uk meet! this would get lots of interest and also advertise the site,
but it would also take away from the "friendly-ness" about the meet as most have met each other before :smiley: up to you pal :happy2:

Just on here is fine i think joe, i want lots of members on here to go. possibly beat the last GTI count. :smiley:
-
Joe is going to win :driver:
-
It's got to be the Officer with the DSG box :signLOL:
-
Backing DSG on this one, especially if he gets his Christmas wish granted :wink:
-
I vote phil, only cause he has fire engine red GTI :happy2: and YES i am SAD!!!
-
Backing DSG on this one, especially if he gets his Christmas wish granted :wink:
Does this begin with 'r' and end in 'p' ????????????!
-
no i think milly :rolleye:
-
Im Backing Joe to the death. I think the extra torque he has on Phil will help him cross the finish line first! Don't let me down Joe! :happy2: :jumpmove:
-
Im backing joe too, dsg is lightning quick at shifting but a manual can shift almost as quick. The launch is the important bit, dont want to launch from anything over 2000rpm imo or you will be sitting at the line wheel hopping.
I think joes extra power and torque will give him the edge.
-
also got short shifter, ecs insert and milly cat back will all be fixed by jan :P
-
its certainly sounds like "ITS ON!!!" (south park dance off style)

We have over 150 members probably 200 by the time of the dual, so they both have there reputations riding on it. Everybody will be filming it and the loser will probably have to leave the site in shame. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I cant wait.
In batman styley. Will Joes nerve hold out on the line, Will Phil even turn up, Will Joes S3 cooler fall off half way up the strip. These questions are yet to be answered. :party: :party: :party: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :signIWS:

how about something like the penalty in Golf, if with your tee shot you don't make it past the Ladies Tee?

hmmm, should be a close one, although no manual is a match for a quick shifting DSG
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gmMNRQ1GJ3o
237BHP phylis v 250 Standard GTi Remaped stage 1, lets hope its more powerful then redRobins which ive chased before.DSG IS WORTH 30 BHP equive manual.
All down to the start and my new years gift to stand me in good sted or Joe eats one too many at Krispys :wink: :laugh:
i vote Phil lol
-
^^^ Strange that VW Driver mag never seem to be able to make the DSG ED30 accelerate quicker than a manual? :P :grin:
-
i know what you mean nathan, these japaneese guys are just Amature's and the Journo's are the real know it all's :wink:
-
Steve, I think if you had a Lada Riva you would argue until you were blue in the face it's the best car on the planet :P It's a big old world out there mate :grin: :wink:
-
Steve, I think if you had a Lada Riva you would argue until you were blue in the face :grin: :wink:

Im not taking this seriously Nathan, just enjoying the Fuss going on started by others in here :smiley:

Well Im having fun either way mate :P :wink: :happy2:
-
it should be a close one, joe's torque curve is higher but drops away up the rev range whilst my hold around 240-250ilbs ft accross the range, cars will only reach 100mph down a quarter mile, so he might get away quick but i should close in come the finish where the larger turbo and boost may hold out. Photo finish possibly?
-
yea, should be a close one!! oh and mine holds boost a lil longer now, noticed it after the cooler was fitted. may get a RR figure whilst im at awesome tomorrow if theyl do it. :happy2:
-
yes let me know how much it improves so i can remove the back seat, spare wheel, passenger seat, carpets, Wife and childseats to gain better traction!. Looks for Vtec's tips on launch control and weight shedding :xmaslaugh:
-
I voted for you Phil :happy2: :P
-
Come on phil, dsg a 30bhp advantage :signLOL:
I think 10-15 tops. Joe could always leave his foot planted when shifting to keep the turbo spinning all the time :evilgrin:
-
ok maybe not quite 30 bhp but im not splitting hairs on it.
Mrs Mcavity shall be in attendance aswell to hold my hand incase of defeat :smiley:
-
Its going to be really close, cant wait for it now. :happy2:

Mmmm decisions, decisions... :confused:
I haven't voted yet as i'm not entirely sure as to who will get there results flash up first.. The biggest factor here will be who gets off the line the best. If both cars are at the 60ft or even the 330ft marker level together, then I would fancy Phil's to nip it.. HOWEVER, if Joe gets his off the line without lighting up, the extra torque shove he will get will initially give him a nice lead, especially if he's on the ball with his reaction times, as Phil will suffer from the infamous DSG launch control pause, like this... :sad:
http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff284/lucachiarelli/?action=view¤t=MOV00046.flv
I actually took my foot of the brake before Matt moved too.. :sad:
If that happens I don't think Phil will pull that back on the 1/4 mile, as it will over to soon..
I for one can't wait to see it? :jumping:
Why stop there TC, why not pair a load of other people off together (with similar spec/power) for a mini forum shoot out??? :jumping:

good idea, yes i can see it evolving like that to be honest Ben, the list is pretty much confirmed now we will maybe get one or two more names so after christmas i think i will start putting something like that together. :happy2:
Who do you want me to pair you with Ben Johnny C or your understudy luca. :grin:
-
id like to see ben and hurdy have a blast!! :jumpmove:
-
I don't mind who i'm paired with to be honest. It'll be a bloody good day either way..
JonnyC will probably have some fire breathing, tarmac rippling, 400+bhp engine that spits fuel at you by then.. :grin:
Think me and Hurdy would be a fair comparison. He does have a fair few more mods, but not a MASSIVE power difference and they are both DSG too..
Or the Team dynamic crew could also fight it out.. (Me, John and Luca :grin:)

We wil have look after christmas, if we can get good match ups like Joe and Phil then it should be excellent. there cars could not be more different but on paper they look very equally matched. :jumpmove:

I'll go against anyone, me vs ben would be a good one, to see how much advantage the dsg gives over manual as our cars have identical mods :smiley:.
Im not competetive, you will see as i usually like lining up against really really quick cars that i have no chance against just so i can hear them at full throttle next to me 8). Last time i was there, i went up against an e60 m5 with a full exhaust system, an rx7 with a tuned 5.7 corvette engine, full on yank muscle car that ran 10 dead :drool:.

Hoping for a better start than at Bruntingthorpe, my 1st time at the sprinting game managed 14.1 and 5.5 0-60, the LSD may help now and not falling asleep at the wheel :ashamed:

Im looking foward to this, rumour has it that phylis is having a Xmas present to give me a good shout down Santa Pod :wink:
Likes been said, launch control will delay my start but hopefully be able to catch joe later down the quarter mile.
Shall be a VERY close battle.
My hotel will be booked for a stay over the night before. :xmassmiley:
-
I will take you on Luca if you fancy it...similar modifications. Would be a good battle :happy2:
-
No problem tom, you only have the fuel pump over me so should all depend on the launch :wink:
Is your manual?
-
Yeah mine is a manual :happy2:
-
i thought the point was that phylis stayed std?? :rolleye:
-
Should be a close one :happy2:
Might need some new tyres by then as mine havent got much tread.
You can all see how quick the mini's are at pod as there are quite a few highly modded cooper s' coming down :laugh:
-
i thought the point was that phylis stayed std?? :rolleye:
No that was not mentioned Joe its just a forum friendly comp you can strap a rocket on the back of yours if you so wish. I started this friendly little battle by saying the votes are allowed to be changed in case anyone adds bits to try and help them win. alls fair in track and mods. :grouphug:

Don't forget there was a massive headwind at Bruntingthorpe Neil, so in good conditions @ Pod you will easily see 13's. I only managed a 13.5 @ Inters and I lobbed the back seats out that day. So was a fair way off my best (13.2 when in full road trim)..
I see you can use launch control now mate..? :happy2:
-
well ifF philys is adding some bhp then I VOTE PHIL TO WIN!! :happy2:
-
i thought the point was that phylis stayed std?? :rolleye:
Hardly think a cat-back Milltek is going to give Phil masses of extra power Joe.. Unless Phil is keeping his cards close to his chest and has written to Mr S Claus and asked him to bring a DP and 200 cell cat in his sack too :laugh:
-
well ifF philys is adding some bhp then I VOTE PHIL TO WIN!! :happy2:
Have you not got a zorst on yours Joe? :confused: Could of sworn you did..
-
I have brand new rubber fitted to both front tyres on mine this week plus my additional planned addition before the Pod.Should have plenty of grip on the Pods Soft Road :happy2:

I hope your not trying to talk yourself out of it Joe, its only a laugh. :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh:
-
course not!! :P
ive also got some new rubber last week, goodyear asys now :innocent:
-
I shall be in combat :wink: to give me a slight weight advantage !
-
havin seen a picture of you and havin met Joe a few times, I think you'd have to cut a leg off or 2 to be the same weight as Joe he's built like a racing snake :rolleye:
-
Ok best i lay off the Pie's for a while,
<<heads for his treadmill :nerd:
-
no offence meant :grin:
-
You have to take into account the christmas factor as well i reckon PHil will put on at least 15 BHP worth of mince pies. :laugh:

Phil, get an inflated, floating balloon and take it with you. Then before you start, inhale the helium and it'll make you loads lighter! :grin: :grin: :grin:

is this the best out of 3? backing Joe all the way :happy2:

No its a straight shoot out. :party:
I thought you had to get in a really long que to have a run, wasnt Luca and Vtec talking last time about waiting over an hour. :party:
-
:confused: 1hr!!
Yea so er, best of 1 then :laugh: better get praticing the starts Joe!! you are carrying the price of the GTI on your shoulders, dont let them ED30 boys beat you!!! :evilgrin:
-
Joe, I voted for you, but don't let me down boy!!!!!
Don't get too carried away at the launch, because I reckon that Steve will have you off the line! I'm just banking on the extra torque/power from your remap to enable you to gradually accelerate past him!
:driver:
-
Phyllis have a warm up or two beforehand to make the tyres warmer and stickier and ensure the car's at maximum operability.
And if there's a tailwind, we can stick up a sail! :signLOL:
-
Depends how busy it is. first time i went i got 7 runs in and could of done more but the second time i got 2 runs in all afternoon :sad:
Best time to go is on a peak perfomance day which is when people are mainly testing different setups on their drag/road cars.
They are usually pretty quiet and you could easily get 10-15 runs done in a day.

What milly you had Steve? Cat back or turbo? :xmassmiley:
-
catback non res. :smiley:
-
About time Steve.. :happy2: Though I can't see it making a huge difference power wise mate.. :confused:. TBE then yeah..
-
Guys, help a newbie out: Diff between catback and turboback?
-
The only improvement i'll think ill notice is the noise and a slight torque improvent. Not much like you say, but the car will look better with the milly on rather then the stock zorst. (looks to me mean more the (POWWWERRRRRRR) in clarksons tone of voice :smiley:
-
Turbo backwards exhaust (£1000 approx) will see improvements to horsepower as thats bolted from the turbo. see horsepwer gains from this.
Catalitic converter back (or catback) is at the bottom of the Stock factory downpipe, around where the centre consol is in the front, in my case one of the silencers removed to get it the slightly harsher exhaust note and releaves some back pressure in the exhaust giving the engine less grief to chuck out the exhaust gases out da back of the car......... or something like that
-
I've voted for Joe! The extra power should see him through :evilgrin:
-
I've voted for Joe! The extra power should see him through :evilgrin:
too close to call it. 10bhp approx between the 2 cars, torque figure on joes is higher off the mark but drops off more at higher revs then the ed30 . Smaller turbo V larger turbo....... Manual V dsg.................... so many +'s to -'s. Canny call it :confused:
Looking foward to my jkm visit coming up.
Joe any updates on your visit to awesome?? u said yours was going on the rollers??? any news?
-
One thing for sure VW will be the winner :wink:
-
This does sound interesteding (and fun of course). Quite a decision but I think Joe might just take it with the extra torque and (slightly) quicker spool up (having driven remapped K03- standard K04 back to back). The DSG will no doubt give Phil an advantage but that all comes down to his take-off.
Place your bets...

Backing DSG on this one, especially if he gets his Christmas wish granted :wink:
Yup, DSG and the Miltek will swing it Phils way - only just though.

Will the Milltek actually make any difference at all? Even a turbo back will only give about 10bhp and that won't be massively noticeable..
-
its the torque that i will gain Ben, it wont on the horsepower. Thats why joes "higher Hp" wont be much of a gain, its the torque that i need to increase to help my launch.

Some of us forumites can help push-launch your car at the starting line!

I wouldn't be to confident Phil.. Although I would expect a ED30 DSG to have an edge on a R32 when rolling, the 1/4 mile isn't a massively long race remember and with the bonus of 4wd off the line, if you go up against a well driven one you may struggle to catch it by the finish line.. :scared: Would be close.. :drinking:
Standard Mk5 R32 mid 14's
Standard-ish ED30 DSG Mid (or if driven bang on, possibly low) 14's
It'll be down to the pilot IMO, simple as really.. :happy2: Either way, we'll cheer you on.. :grin:
-
so ben what is the secret mod, dsg remap?
-
i think joe might turn up in a skyline r32 and nail all of us :laugh:
-
i think joe might turn up in a skyline r32 and nail all of us :laugh:
You'd think so, but I recently went on an RR day with an R32 owner who got 312bhp and 270lbft when mine did 333bhp and 335lbft. Plus his weighed in at nearly 1600kg to my 1360kg :wink:
Now a fully tuned 600bhp V-spec would be nice :drool:
-
what i should have said was a heavily modded skyline :laugh:
-
....
I reckon it's what happens at the start which is a big factor in the final result. I'm backing Phyllis but I think it will be very close.
Have we got a list of attendees yet or is it too soon? Or have I been too lazy in not reading the whole thread yet?

Thought i would bump this thread back up for final voting before the big day...
A couple more votes could swing it. :party: :party: :party: (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Ftomashandmilly%2FDaft_stuff%2F01.gif&hash=508f53f18722dfe473aaebfa49c0ffde3a814a67)

....
So, who won? [I left before it was all done]
-
^^^
Unfortunately the snow stopped the racing, just as Steve and Joe were at the front ready to line up on the start line!!!
:sad: :sad: :sad:
Would have been very close I think!
-
I think Joe and Phil were just ready to go up when the snow came up, i think Joe got a 14.6 maybe better,
-
yes joe clocked a 14.6 best, and i done 2 14.7's, and likes been said, we were sat on the start line when the Marshalls closed the dam track!!!!, yes would of been too close to call. Joe's seemed to be the fastest of the GTi's on the forum, most others were struggling to get sub 15's. I think a day in the spring and track temps been better , would say that 3 tenths from everyones times would be a good guess!.
anyone for a return visit in the spring?? :signLOL:
-
yea, 14.6 i ran, was a wicked day, shame we had to back of the line :sad: will defo be up for another do in the sunmmer :jumping: (then i can kick ur ass fair and square :P :grin: only jokin) :smiley:
-
yes spring would be good, then i can fully use launch control instead of 1800rpm!. Have you got any slips Joe with your break down on time sectors for the quarter mile?
This battle isnt resolved just yet :happy2:, and good to meet you in person joe :wink:
-
i was only launching at 2k, esp off, handbreak on :driver:
spring sounds good, :smiley:
-
....
The battle isn't resolved, but Joe with his slightly faster time now has an edge :evilgrin:
The big question is whether Joe further mods his car before the next round.

-
well all that thought it would be close were right. We both performed better then some remapped monsters and your cheaper Remap done well aswell :wink:
Hope you get to singapore eventually mate :wink:. i hear french women dont shave :surprised: :scared:
-
well there are a few very tasty frenchies around!! the girl on reception of the priorty lounge is fecking stunning, she started speaking to me in french so i said im english and dont speak french, she then offered to teach me :rolleye:
yea, re-map is from celtictuning if anybody is interested, they state 265bhp from std gti :grin: we all know thats bullsh!t but the car is strong right through the rev range so im chuffed, it cost 300 quid but it was on offer so not sure if its still that. :smiley:
