Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Hoyhoy.
      I think you should be saying Eddy Vs Jason, which is where the problem lies.
      I have the problem of accepting defeat to Jason. .
      We missed each other at the meet because I got there late, he got 14.4's & as for me, I washed & waxed her but still couldn't do a thing with her, only managed 14.6 (top of 97m.p.h.)
      When the Little Blue Girl was new with just APR stage one, I managed a 14.7
      Now that I have a lot more grunt, I found that I just couldn't control 1st gear, hey but what a beast she is, I love her. (wife is jealous)
      I had three runs & only just lost one of them, the first run was with a XR6, he left me for dead at the start but then "FLEW" past him, afterwards he said what the hell.
      P.S. Me is leaving the "DRAG" seen behind for a while & let the tuff boys have their fun.

            • Not if you don't put your foot flat to the floor, it doesn't (obviously). Otherwise you would waste your time in wheel spin/axle tramp or the ESP system restricting throttle position.

              Jas/Tom - shed some light on how much throttle you were using in 1st?

                    On my best (13.748 Best time yet) run I use Launch contral and RPM 2000.

                    Where my other 3 runs times were 14.0** Was launching around RPM 2300-2500 and as everyone can tell I was wheel spinning on take off. Also believe I might have push the power a little to hard after letting go of the brakes.

                    Oh well see how I go next time.

                    But it was a fun day chatting to some of the drivers of Jap cars and they couldn't believe I pulled a 13.748 where some of them were mid 14's and higher.

                    Great night all round.

                    The only down fall, was my brother for got to video the 13s run but he did for all the rest of the runs.

                      It does feel more direct, just stiffened the Kw3's as well though.
                      I'll give her a work out next weekend at Wakefield & see how she goes.

                            Hay Guy

                            No other mods than what you and alex have done to it.

                            Front were 25psi and rear were up to 50psi, no suspension work no $$$.

                            If I do will let you know and get the suspension you have on your GTI.

                            I was thinking if my car can do that yours should be easy mid to low 12s.

                            • Must give it a go one day

                              (scanning shelves for spare clutch :ballandchain: )

                              Thats excellent though & repeatable (the falt 14's) with the DSG!

                              Good stuff!
