Why'd he put steelies on the front?

Stickier tyres on those rims.

Yeah USP are hoping to get into the late 10's early next year. 8)
VWVortex have a thread dedicated to the top 1/4 miler's. There's quite a few in the 12's. :rolleye:
They do go for it in the USA though. Water and methanol mix, big turbo's, slicks, rear skinnys, stripped, everything :driver:

Anyone else up for a MK5 GTI drag comp at next years GTI International??
Think that would be something to look forward to :smiley:
-
If you still have the ed30 LOL

Yeah thats true.. Na think ill keep it for then, going to have it finished by then, have a feeling that im going to keep this car longer than I first though, but I have said that about pretty much every one, so ignore that.. ha..

Now then mate.. So you come back to the dark side I see.. Sounds like you'll be going all balls out on the mods as usual then?
Make sure you keep us updated with pics of it all?
As for the the GTI Fest comp, you can count me in obviously.. :happy2: Think my 13.2 maybe at risk now with your modding fetish :grin:. Be good to see a comparison of mods against times though. Especially as you have exactly the same car with the DSG too.. :wink:

Yeah, should be fun.. As much as everyone is scared of the DSG breaking when running high hp/tq there really hasn't been the failures to back it up.. So I think im going to see how I go really..
IMO looking after this gearbox and engine is really all in the mapping, smooth torque delivery and boost limits in the lower two gears for two reasons, it will extend the life of the clutches/box and its going to help with traction, an on-off type boost delivery with FWD in 1st or 2nd gear is going to just light the tyres up!
And huge boost in the higher gears will mean that you run the risk of bending a rod.. To be fair ill probably drop a set of beefy forged rod's in this car..
Really enjoying being back in a GTI actually, probably because I have been flat out modifying it over the last week, well.. Buying parts anyways!!

Has the S3 gone now I take it JC? Did you get what you want for I hope?

Yeah S3 was sold within a few hours of putting it up for sale, and was happy with what I got yeah :happy2:
I think 12's this year at GTI International would be pretty good really, and 0-60 under 5 seconds.. Thats my target anyways :happy2:

If you get in the 12's it'd be a big thumbs up from me.. My 13.2 was in proper good conditions, but was onlt Stage 1 Revo with Milltek TBE. Have tried twice with the Stage 2 since and added to my terminal speed slightly, but only managed a 13.4. The conditions weren't as good and tyres were pretty shot. So there is room for improvement, but 12's is a bit further away than I originally thought.. :grin:
IMO for 12's you'll need 350bhp+ (which won't be a problem for you I wouldn't think), good conditions and a proper low 60ft time. All of which are easily achievable (with DSG) without going for bigger blower IMO. Roll on April! :laugh:
What power figure you aiming for for GTI Fest Jonny?
-
Yea I agree with all of that.. May have some slicks on the car to help the 60ft times..
Im hoping for around 400hp, that would be perfect power with the DSG GTI combo IMO..
Would be nice to get in the 12's with standard turbo :wink:

I haven't given up yet mate.. :wink: Won't be going for anymore mods (although a pump maybe an option next year dependent on how things go elsewhere). But will try lobbing the back seats out, some fresh rubber on and on the right day, who knows.. :wink:
