Title: No-one going any shows? Now mk3 shootout at inters!!!
Post by: Leroy on 20 May 2013, 13:25
Been a few shows this year so far, Dubfreeze in stafford in feb, Stanford hall in Rugby this month and All types in NWales yesterday and have noticed there are very few mk3's being represented. Which is suprising really cus its so affordable at the moment to buy a mk3, its a cheap way into performance vw's. I could literally count on one hand the mk3's i saw yesterday. Is there a main show everyone goes to? (i'm hoping to see a few more at GTI inters this year) or are you mk3 boys not that interested in shows???

Dunno.

June Brands Hatch.

If I still have the Clio I might give that a shagging round for 20mins. If I have the VR done by then which I doubt then I might do half day with a mate.

Still need a few bits mate before I get all carried away with graphs

After a wallbro fuel pump, new maf sensor and then the custom map
Bit busy with my events at the moment which is why I'm not on here so much lately

I only really do air cooled shows now. All if them lol. But I do get payed to go to them all  :laugh:
Such a hard life  :evil:
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?

Here's my suggestion.

VW Action.

No need to camp all together just arrange to meet up and maybe put the cars in a row somewhere during the weekend.
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?
Post by: F17BAD on 22 May 2013, 21:03
When is VW action Len
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?
Post by: Leroy on 23 May 2013, 19:53
Vw action is mostly aircooled though, why not make it inters??? then you can take it on the strip to settle a few old scores!!!  :laugh: inters is looking good this year and quite centrally located (shakespeare country)

Im planning on doing the 1/4 mile in mine, not that its going to put in a decent time or anything, but its one thing to tick off the "do before you die" list, should be a laugh and doesn't cost much!

Hey Leroy,i will be going to inters, who you driving down with? An unofficial forum shoot out down the strip would be good!  :grin:

Title: Re: No-one going any shows?
Post by: Leroy on 24 May 2013, 09:54
Hahaha screech!!! A shootout against your power house, you must be kidding! im going to try and find a 1.0 polo to race so i'm not totally humiliated!!!  :laugh:

I'll be going down with the wife and kids dude, camping in the family section.

My sis in law should be going down in her mk5 gti, i'll race you in that!!!! :wink:

All the shows/events are in the Section they should be in! :rolleyes: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?
Post by: tweed on 24 May 2013, 13:05
Its not a drag strip. Its a air field and the temp 1/4 mile is on crap surface. Seen to many high powered fwd cars get spanked by less powerful cars  :grin:
Seen standard mk4 r32 spank 300bhp mk4 gti
so the likes of brad and screech wont set any fast times unfortunately. Would like to see what the can really do.
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?

Whereas Action is at Santa Pod where you can really lay down a good time! :wink: :grin:

Inters has moved venue to a proper drag strip so surface should be excellent,my car aint no power house what so ever  (ko3) no massive spec like brads and others on here just thought it would be a laugh if a few of us could go head to head.

Anyway Leroy you've probably got the lightest mk3 on here with that many holes so you should have a good chance ,a mk5 would spank mine into oblivion lol
Title: Re: No-one going any shows?
Post by: F17BAD on 24 May 2013, 20:23
You should be killing mk5's even with K03 mate

bens  mk3 VR6  (around 190 bhp) kept up with his brother mk5 ED30  (which is 15 bhp down on power i might add - just been rolling roaded on a heart breaker (Dyno dynamics) )

I know this is true coz i was sat next to him

and he has easily kept up with another Mk5 GTI...

HaHa, your right about that!!! nevermind stripping out your interiors to save weight, let the tin worm have its way, rust is lighter than metal!!!

I'm game for a mk3 shootout Screech, will be a right giggle!!! Ive always wanted to do a 1/4 mile in a GTI, the more people off here go the better.

Might pay the £15 and have saturday morning session, or £25 for all day saturday depending how flush im feeling when i order them. Just so we have the same session. I'll have to borrow a helmet from somewhere though!!!

closer to the time, i'll pop a post up to see whos going and what session they will be going so we can have a mk3 shootout!

Theres a mobile dyno there as well i've just seen for £45.
