Well that was mega fun.  :jumping: :jumping:

Managed  14.14 sec @102.28 (full boot and a mushroom growing kit on the backseats [dont ask])

I was hoping for a 14 sec ... so thats not too bad.


I raced up against a guy in a mk2 with a 2.0T S3 lump in it with a DSG box. :smiley: It had no interior and ran 13.33 @107... he was really happy with that, and it was a quick car.


Great day out  :jumpmove:

Nice, what revs were you launching at? Were you dumping the clutch or easing it in?

Did a few different ways. Either no launch control at all and just ease the power in first gear. Or very low RPM launch, maybe 200RPM.

I did a full power launch once and it just span up and got horrendous wheel hop, so knocked that on the head.  :signLOL:
