Title: MK5 GolfGTI v Seat Cupra.net RR shootout @ 'TSR' Performance
Post by: Msportman on September 09, 2009, 04:10:07 pm
All

I have been in contact with some of my old contacts at TSR Performance, Bridgwater Somerset and they are happy to host a RR shootout for our members.

I can arrange a date for September or October with a limit of 30-35 cars at a cost of £25. The more the cheaper it will become.

TSR have had a new Maha 4 Wheel Drive RR installed and printouts will be available.


Please let me know so that I can gauge interest before I open it up to other forums.

If people can be available for most weekends from the mid Sept onwards into October let me know.

I know I won't be booking 10th of October as this Autometrix Trackday which I will be booking into myself.

Regards

Ian

Good luck with getting numbers. Maha Rollers can be generous results if superchips rollers were anything to go by.

Think you will find it reads spot on comparing it to Awesome's....maybe slightly under!

Come on chaps can't be too far....may have to open this to UKMKIV or even Club GIT! :scared:

Awesome is quite a way for me too :sad1:

Yeap they are a Revo dealer...date can be anytime in October so I will pick a date over the weekend.

The price for the RR is pretty competitive too.

What did you get banned for?

You can start a list on here too if you like, I'll get Ben from SCN to add it to the list on SCN if you're not a member on there.
Spectators welcome too!

Aaah, I see your old username now. I think I can remember some of the fuss over there about this. The mods can be a bit errr.......nah I won't say it or I'll be banned too! Seriously though, they don't stand for much on SCN but on other Golf sites (and part of the reason this site exists) the moderation goes to the other extreme. Ya can't win.
Hmm maybe up for this date dependant.  :smiley:
The date is on the previous page and on the SCN link. Maybe Ian will update the thread title when he gets chance. 16th Nov '09

Ah, yes, didn't bother posting up as I didn't think anyone'd be interested!
Remember I was asking you about the pro's and cons of the Scirocco back along? Well I went and got a mk6 Golf instead!
The mk5 needed a bit of routine work doing on it which when added up was a few ££££ added to which I wanted to re-remap it as the one I had was a bit flat (my own fault as that's what I asked for!!!) so I bit the bullet.
Didn't want a new one as I don't use the car much and it would take me 6 months to run it in, added to the 3-6 months waiting list I'd be no further on this time next year! And I didn't want to pay a fortune for an ex-demo with loads of extras which I didn't really want so I scoured the country for a bog standard GTI which I could add stuff to as I went along when finances or forum/ebay bargains cropped up.
So, there we have it. It's still sat on the standard 17s at the moment so not very photogenic, am waiting for pay day so I can shove a pair of tyres onto my BBSs sat in the garage and get them on the car. Then it'll be worth a few photos!  :smiley:

I was going to shove a post up here somewhere but I thought a standard car on 17s would be a bit of a damp squib after everyone clamoured for photos!

Okay, I'll whizz a photo off at the weekend and do a thread in the general chat section.

Better get this back on topic.

Okay ladies and gents, if we could start a list of forum name, first name so we can keep it friendly and type of car running and I'll update Ben on SCN regularly so we can keep it orderly and peeps who need early runs or want late runs can get their preferred slot.

               User Name                 Real Name             Car type              Additional column for ''maybe'' or ''confirmed''

1.
2.
3.
4.



Would be good to see a few spectators too so we can have a bit of a South West meet and have a genral nose around TSR  :party:
