Was bored last night, so after I left my old mans I thought i'd nip across to the old (unused) airfield near his house to have a play.. :evil:
Thought i'd do a quick speedo vid for you boys that might like..

I'm off to a 30-130mph day at Elvington in July (not sure if you guys have heard about this). It's an event that MLR (Evo owners club) do every year with a lot of success as it is seen as a proper way of testing a cars straight line performance ( as no launch needed / Rolling start). But this one has been organised as a Hot Harch day, so will be a cracker, as will be up against a mixture of standard and modded VXR's, ST's, Focus RS', Leon Cupra's, Type R's, Alfa GTA etc etc
Tried to get a vid of that range last night, but with the greasy conditions it was just spinning up.. But i'm guessing somewhere around 17 sec mark hopefully (going off this and adding a bit for speedo inaccuracies))..
-
that is going some :cool:
-
very very quick that! no pausing of the needles thanks to the DSG :cool:
-
VW Driver mag said this about a remapped ed30
even in sixth gear it accelerates from 80 to 100 mph in 4.3 seconds; that’s the kind of performance you’d expect from a Ferrari or Lamborghini rather than a four-door hatchback.
:evil:
-
Ummm - I like......
Why don't you organise a 30-150 day at this airfield :grin:
-
You'd struggle to hit £150 on it mate.. not long enough really. Hence why I had to come off the gas at just over 130.. :wink:
-
Sounds like a good day out that 30-130 day, we never have anything like that up here.
-
isnt it greta just having a unused airfield behind your house!, shame we didnt get to see the airfield in your video Vtec :wink:.
Car looks very quick, you should do a standing start one for us, so i can see if the ed30 can handle as quicker start without bouncing the front wheels controlling all those rampaging horses :rolleyes: I have some doubts over this, without some serious mods to the suspention setup etc
Just ran a stopwatch on that time vtec, 50mph to 100mph in 5.5 seconds!, putting that into perspective, can i have my exhaust system back please!!!! :laugh:
-
I'll fight you for it... ha :grin:
We'll see how it copes with standing starts tomorrow when I run it at Pod.. Taking video camera too, so will report back tomorrow.. :wink:
-
i predict, you'll do. 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and a quarter mile 14.2. after seeing others try at santa pod in ed30's and S3's, and track temp tommorow will be about the same,(hopefully not showery like that time). good luck and if your exhaust goes walkabout, i wasnt me honest :laugh:
-
I'll be very interested to see what you do at the pod :cool:
Fingers crossed for a sub 14 second pass for you. You should get a decent time as long as you have newish tyres.

If I do a 14.2 I will shoot myself in front of the crowd, as I run a 14.0 in my Leon Cupra R with about 265bhp...
Don't think the time will drop great deal, as traction will be a issue. But if I don't make 13's, I will be gutted!!! :sad: :sad: :sad:
-
i will be shocked if you do 13's. saw too many s3's and ed30 with as much hp as you and fail. if you beat hurdys previous, ill be surprised

I'll not be suprised if he does beat 14 seconds, as long as his tyres are decent. Mine were more or less fubarred before I went up the Pod. He also has a good dose of torque extra to what mine was before my other extras.
Maybe not now though :wink:
-
but his only very few miles on its clock, hasnt really lossened up yet.
-
He may not get on here tonight as his missus is over but I can safely say he got in the 13s today....... 13.2 was his best time, not sure of the terminal but know he did 107 mph on one of his slower runs. I'm sure he'll be along soon enough for bragging rights.
-
:shocked: hope he video'd it
-
I couldn't be bothered to go to Pod today but he wasn't on his own so chances are there will be a couple of vids on Youtube before long.
-
Nice, thats a very quick time, all these bloody ED30s making me think my Revo Gti is Slow :embarassed:
-
I'm here, Missus is watching the tv next to me.. Shhhhh :grin:
Full results on other thread, here.. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=86640.0
There is a vid on my mates camera of one of my runs (13.4 IIRC). Just need him to get it sent to me.. :wink:
-
I knew it would be under 14 seconds :smug:
-
interestingly, ive just tried vtecs same test ,and mines totally standard, in 7.8 seconds. goes to show youll get to the naughty 100 mph 2.3 seconds faster after a remap.
