I will try to make it I need to see just how fast all my mods actually made my car go
-
Low 13's you looking for with that spec? Or think you'll muster high 12's?

Been before, don't like it too much. The track isn't really very exciting in my opinion.
I will try to make it I need to see just how fast all my mods actually made my car go
Well I know that Al over on the Seat Cupra forums was pushing high 12's with his Cupra which was producing similar power. He did have track tyres though and stripped quite a bit out of his car.
The fastest I've managed with a stage 1 remap (circa 260-270hp) is a 13.6 with the spare wheel removed and on Michelin Pilot Sports.
If you're on manual then I'd expect low 13's unless you're going the whole hog with weight reduction and slicks.
But supposedly the better surface at Santa Pod results in slightly faster times than our gravel road at Crail... hmm... coming down to the pod is getting more tempting... :undecided:
-
Low 13's you looking for with that spec? Or think you'll muster high 12's?
There are a few guys in the states with similar mods and are down in the low 12's. I really got to see what I run so I know lol.
-
My friend is coming in his corsa B which is 360bhp be fun to match u up for a video which I'll upload, I'll take u on in the R also which I won't upload if u win lol

Low 12's with that amount of power through front wheels seems very low. Still, the run will soon prove me wrong no doubt.

I would defiantly have be up for some fun match ups
AWE Tuning with their full interior daily driver clocked 11.87 with this 1/4 mile package. I have about 90% of items listed in this kit. http://www.awe-tuning.com/products/vw-1/mk6-g-j-2010/gti-20t/awe-tuning-mk6-2-0t-quarter-mile-package.html (http://www.awe-tuning.com/products/vw-1/mk6-g-j-2010/gti-20t/awe-tuning-mk6-2-0t-quarter-mile-package.html) I got a different exhaust and a different intake.

WOW!
I might have to turn up and see it go for a run :smiley:
Jim
-
I will get smoked if you hit anything near that, Im hoping for a 12.9-13.4 would love to hit 12.0second something.
Santa pod is the place to do it, With the sticky surface which helps frontwheel drive cars. Be fun
-

What you running?
-
Just a remap and intake, DSG will be remapped by then also hopefully
http://www.fastestlaps.com/cars/vw_golf_r.html Says 13.5 on 1/4 mile standard. So .5 from the above should be do-able
-
Yup, with a good map you should see low 13s easily. 13.5 for a standard car though is a bit optimistic though (unless the car has DSG) from my experience. Certainly at Crail the surface could be adding a few tenths but generally most S3s (not seen an R there yet) have run 13.7-14.0 quarter miles. The guys getting under the 14's mark have all been manuals with the drivers launching the absolute life out of the car.
-
I can't understand why people want to do that to their cars? :huh:
-

I am the same. This was actually one of the factors that influenced me to go for the DSG with the GTI - it meant the car could be launched hard without any significantly increased detriment to mechanical components. Don't get me wrong, I understand that there will still be mechanical wear, but I am more comfortable taking my DSG for some hard launches than I would be with a manual.
-
Some of those 1/4 mile tracks in the USA are downhill after the 1st 100 yards and so times can be over half a second faster over the 1/4 mile.
York Raceway is a good halfway meet for you PenguinGTI. A solid track, but you have to wear a helmet there to run.
http://www.yorkraceway.org.uk/
Did a 12.9 there before I had the nitrous. They also do a 0-60mph time instead of the 60ft time on certain days if you use the right hand lane. :cool:
KrazyZ - on a K04 TSI conversion expect anything between 12.7 to 13 seconds at around 112-116mph terminals. You may get a little lower if you have semi-slicks. :smiley: I tend to ignore the USA times as they never fully disclose all settings on their cars and as mentioned have some downhill raceways. :smiley:
-
York looks decent but I think if I was coming down I'd have to finally pay the Pod a visit.
I may yet still be tempted. It would just be either a very early morning drive or an overnight perhaps.
Completely right about the dragstrip lottery though.
they never fully disclose all settings on their cars
Case in point the AWE Mk6 "daily driver" which has been fully stripped of passenger seats and spare wheel kit... try see how useful that is for daily use :rolleyes:
-
I can't understand why people want to do that to their cars? :huh:
That is what the cars are made for :grin:
-
Anyone else going to try to make it out that weekend?

Sounds like me lol. I have actually taken a day off just to go to a track day event.
-
:grin: Me too on several occasions had to swap shifts to do events.
-
Cant you swap a shift to come to this one then? lol. Any one else want to come the more the merrier.
-
Final Call for the POD! THIS SUNDAY, Stop being dry and bring yourselves down
-
I am excited I can't wait!
-
Inbox me your number we'll have to meet up in paddock, maybe race you down strip for YouTube lol
-
I was secretly hoping to have turned up but it's a bit far to travel without any guarantee of getting on. :sad:
And I've also just had plans made for me for Sunday now. :angry:

Anywaynended up there after 3points from a cu*nt in cambridge in an unmarked Saab in Brown! Arrived about 2:30,
Basically dead to be honest just about 5 cars running, 1000bhp skyline and 2 subarus, A type 25 and some wagon and an Old Audi Quattro.
Got to run just round and round with no que's.
best run I managed 12.69, Terminal 106.91
The car ran low 12.7's consistently. And the track condition was pretty poor as they wernt using glue and it was pretty wet.
Pretty happy with that, It'de have alot of high end cars sweating down the strip I bet. Expecting low 13's would of been v happy with 12.9 so all in all :laugh:
-
Great time that :cool:
What stage of tune are you now?

Oh you got a ticket too huh. I got hit for my window tint today was not given a prohibition on my car though. Funny part was I didn't get done for the 80 in a 50 ( didn't realize that was a 50 zone till I was parked in front of a speed limit sign) I was trapping 107-110MPH in the 1/4 but my ET times were in the low 14's to high 13's could not get traction till I was in third gear no mater how hard I tried. I made like 12 passes and nothing I did other than put it in stock mode allowed me any traction the entire track seemed really slippery to me. I have spent the first 17 years of my life living with in 2 miles of a drag strip I have never had this much problems getting traction. Even leaving traction control on I was getting the light all the way through third gear any one have any suggestions to get better traction?

Yeah f**k*r, Couldn't hide his delight at getting me, " Your in a powerful car there son you should no better, Im going to issue you with a fixed penalty notice, " f**koff you cu"nt im thinking.
Did you try launching from 3rd or 2nd? Sounds basic, Also I found the right hand lane much better than the left. Did 2 runs in right lane and they were both my best times. Obviously left lane is for posing with the stand haha, But seemed the right was for the speed.
Also on a side note, they took the piss 2day mate, They wern't doing the track prep because it was 2 quite and wasn't worth the money like them spreading glue etc.. + They closed at 4, So I only got an hour n half
Closed at 4, So only got like hour n half in. I got my printout ill upload it later

JDJD are you in an R?

That's great for an R. But if you'd replied that you're in a stage 1 GTI, well I'd have been having a tantrum at the state of Pod's surface. :grin: My best is a 13. in a stage 1 GTI, you're almost a second faster.

I am in a KO4 GTI and my fastest time today was 13.8@110MPH so that tells you how bad the surface was. I am also not running on the stock tires either I am running on BFGoodrich G Force KDW 2 I was trying everything I could think of to try and get some traction.

Excuses excuses. Stage 1 is just obviously faster :laugh:
-
Nah, back to being serious, when I clocked the 13.6 I was trapping around 103 I think.
Bit gutting that the track was so slippery but at least you can look forward to some drier weather.
-
I was thinking the same thing although I think I am just going to stick to what I built the car to do and that is for Daily Driver with the occasional circuit track day. Do you guys know where I can find good deals on track days?
-
No idea, might be best taking a look/ posting a thread in here
