Hurdy's new Polo GTI..project time!

[golf-sib]

so when you fitting a jet engine with afterburners in the boot. Any other plans you have for this?

[rob.043]

Top speed achieved was 142.97 mph ( showed as 160 mph on the speedo )

the 10% extra reading gets a bit more significant at those speeds!  Presumably there was more to go on a longer strip?

Never say never 

Next plans are to get a hybrid specific map for the car, then a DSG remp, uprated rear brakes, full engine mounts, uprated forged pistons and rods, DSG uprated clutchpacks and a few more bits.

There was a little more to come, but once over 140mph the speed creeps up slowly. The useable part of the airstrip for acceleration is 1.2 miles, but you are braking before the marker as there are huge water filled buttresses either side of the marker and then an offset gap 100 metres after that. The brakes on my car are good, but at over 140mph you don't feel like risking it too much. On the flat with the same room I reckon over 145 easy and maybe 155 given enough distance.

Loving the motor...Good work!

Good stuff- plenty fast enough on a wet day! No issues with the lack of LSD at the current output, its not on the list of priorities? Does the electronic system do a reasonable job?

[golf-sib]

If its like the electronic diff on the 2.0TFSI, it should be spot on, even when mapped and modded to 360bhp the 2.0TFSI have no torque steer at all, foot planted down, no hands on steering wheel and it will go in a straight line.

Was the 30-130 day at Marham?

I think there is a track day at Marham in April, or was I wrong and it was today!

Hurdy your car is amazing. Pretty much the quickest polo for sure, esp if you are beating scoobys!!!!!!

Yep!

Impressive, but then we always knew it would be.
