I'm guessing the R has been mapped since you had it on loan Steve?
How does that time compare with some of the stage 2 ED30s and the like?

Yes the R was mapped, it has a OCT map which is a very OEM like one so doesn't produce hugh increases but certainly map a difference.

It ran the same times as a Revo Stage 1 S3 and a little slower than the Stage 2+ ED30's (they ran around 13.1-13.2 on the day).

0-60 it was great but needed more power to offset the weight for improved the terminal times.

No didn't see any of the Wörthersee specials. The VW stand was a load of VWs from a local dealer so not  VW themselves. I'd have particularly liked to have seen that Adidas special.

Cheers for the info Steve. It must be a real weapon on the road now that it's mapped.  :smiley:

Shame VW don't make more effort. Did SEAT have a stand there this year?

I would have thought that's typical of VW really. Treating customers well doesn't seem to be a particular strength of theirs!!!
I seem to remember a SEAT stand (or something with SEATs on) but since I'm not really into them I didn't really take much notice of it.

I have watched the Gay Parade in Sydney on TV news.
Kev, me lad, such overt campness and such Parades are not my cup of tea. I know how desperate you are to meet new partners at this Gay Parade (?) or any other Parade for that matter. I am sure the boys will be delighted with your wealth, 3D-TV, petit bottom and White GTi, but can you kindly restrict yourself to individuals in your 'neck of the woods', please.
I thought the GTi Inters event was a couple of weeks ago and that you find such meetings very ghay. Now why would you show the slightest interest in the real thing? Hmmmmm.....
You confuse me sometimes, drear. :lipsrsealed:

Yep, I ran a 13.4 1/4 with a 4.7 0-60 in the Golf R, and a 14.3 1/4 with a 5.88 0-60 in my GTI.  :smiley:

With figures like these it is well worth getting an R re-mapped. I want one so badly.
Now I know why you were so impressed. :smiley:
