Hurdy's Golf .:R - project 600bhp.

[MS1COYS]

3.9 to 60...now that is rapiddddddd!! 

A bit slower than normal as the start was slightly UPHILL!!

I reckon with the tinkering you're talking about this beast is capable of a 0-60mph run on an RR of 3.3/3.4s 

You're a legend Hurdy! When I go on to my next project, you're going to have a part to play in it, regards to it's mods, that's if you're interested of course.....

Always interested

Fantastico.....so when shall I get an 'R'

[topher]

Don't think I haven't already thought about that

I may well ditch the rear seats and spare, dunno yet, but losing some weight may tip the time down a little.

Don't go that far. Will you ever drive it day to day without rear seats etc? That would be painting perhaps a false picture IMO. 

Take out the spare wheel and all your loose change for sure though! 

I maybe going to the pod on Sunday...If so I need to hear this tear up the tarmac!

Great day at the Pod. Lovely weather. Only did 16 runs in total. Got the hang of the car launch and shift points by the end of the day. A little different to launching on the road. I was avoiding the water for most of the day until Luke said it actually may help as I was getting too MUCH grip. After that my times dropped by another couple of tents of a second.

Fastest time was a 12.615 and the fastest time with a passenger was a 12.787.

The car still feels like it is held back by the torque limitation in the map and with an extra 40-50lbft should help drop the times more.

A few pics...list of runs (didn't pick up the last two runs which we're 12.62 and 12.63)









Fastest 0-100


10.1 seconds!

Nice one mate, you still not running 18"s?

No, still on the heavy ass 14kg 19"ers.

Today was more about getting to know where the car stands performance wise and finding out the best launch points and shift points for the 4WD. So plenty more performance to pull out of the car still.

APR's stage 3 Golf R arrived very late in the day and laid down a 11.87@117. 

This will be a decent target for me and hopefully next year will see my car at this point or faster.
