1/4 mile times....

[jv]

to be fair gaz, i think you are on a bit of a mission impossible with this. VW don't publish 1/4 mile times, most magazines don't apart from maybe VW Motoring.

will just have to see what happens on the day

Of the GTIs (and G60s, VR6's etc) we've got here, mine's got to be amongst the slowest.  Standard except for suspension and big heavy alloys!  I'd hope to be quicker than a CL tho'

Me v Gaz would be a fair race in terms of cars, altough apparantly he's a bit of a drag demon (not drag queen), so he'd probably win.

your 20v would whoop my 20v richy!!!! (maybe not 8 weeks ago befor eshe blew up!!!, shes still not 100% right, thats why im gonna be razzin it up the strip in me 16v!!!) drag demon!!, yeah thats me, get on the line fist, wait for your oponents 'white' light to go out, then when the orange is on go, by the time youve waited for the green your out gunned by some one who knows what there doing!!! (obviously not to quick!! as youll get a false run!!, it takes a few runs to get used to the timing of the lights, as not all systems are bang on the same!!!!)

as for figures, i though it would be fun to have a print out of standard sort of 1/4 mile figures, so we know wether were good or not!!
 oh well maybe just wait till were all done and jv can bung up a graph etc with our respective times!!!

my 16v has just had new cambelt and tensioner and a new clutch cable, (no worries about it blowing up!! lol and ive got well smooth clutch take up now!!!)

and all i can say to the bloke who i got the car off is 'b@llocks' did you change the timing belt!!! (1 of the aux crank pulley bolts well manked (been mole gripped and gave up i reckon) so had many other bolts!! so all drilled out and nice shiney stainless ones in place!!!

see you on the strip!! (no spare wheel or jack, just 2 cans of tyre weld,drivers head light removed, few more tweeks as well!!!)

[kniterider]

would be nice to put this against another 16v, dunno what shes kickin but it fookin flies!!! (smokes a tad now and then 'valve stem oil seals to be done later next month'), its got pipercross induction kit, and full scorpion stainless, was told it was chipped when i bough it but apparently thats boll@cks (so ive been told), spare wheel and jack and other heavy items will only be removed for weight measures and drivers head light (1 min removal time) will be removed for induction purposes!! lol

Gaz
