Improving your 1/4 mile techniques...

So do I

 

vw_singh is definately good at sprinting. 14.3 sec with 168bhp is a bit amazing if you ask me.

 

rich i wouldn't follow the advice of the 16v guys, launching with 150ftlb is way different to 250ftlb

 

Why not?

It will be funny to see his tyres explode

 

My best ever run was as follows:

Reaction+.365
60FT 2.155

1/4 Mile13.500
1/4 MPH104.45

That was with semi slicks.

Rich mine and yours were near identical. Like Phat says, look at the 60FT time as that's where you'll know whether your spinning up too much.

Are you going again anytime soon? - I've got my semi slicks and racing wheels still in my garage. Was going to sell them soon, but if you're going anytime soon I don't mind if you want to borrow them.

Ah, mate that would be brilliant. Going october 16th - sunday week. Ill send you a PM.

 

i did a 13.4 at Inters with road tyres etc....not to bad.....bogged down at the start as well....plus wooped Tim in his 430bhp RS4

PS....i don't know what 4wd you are thinking of Jon P but you will never break Haldex.....

you start launchin a 4wd hard with anger something will break in time

 

I am not saying things will NEVER break just with the power 300ish break that Richgit is running he will NEVER EVER break a Haldex rear DIFF.....

 

i put money on him breaking it or something that will effect the system

this is rich we are talking about

 

I've got a vid here of a turbo'd V6 bora 4motion, running about 350bhp,
destroying its rear diff spectacularly on the 1st-2nd shift.



My haldex rear diff has started whining at 50k, and the car is
basically stock and well looked after. They're better than syncro, but
its not magic.

 

The lad's R32 who came with us to AMD the day Claire had her R32 chipped/millteked had a fecked rear diff, whined like a Stuka bomber, replaced under warranty, not done that many miles. (under 40k IIRC)

 

He's done well so far using the standard diff. I gave it a couple of months before I guessed it would've blown with all that power. - But here we are a year down the line...

 

anyone managed a sub 2 second 60' yet? that's a low or sub5 second 0-60 you know! damn quick!


just read in this months FHM, that nuts Jabba Golf just ran an 11.5 or something daft like that, insane!

 

share, share ,share!

 

Mad!

 

James from Jabba's building new 1.9 engine for next year so he can beat his times. Now thats mad!

 

600bhp 24v turbo mk2 in the states just ran an 10.99!!!! now THAT's mental.


still FWD too

 

Best I managed was a 2.089 on a run that ended up as a 14.2s 1/4 - missed gear change! Doh!

10.99s for any FWD is simply amazing.

 

My mate's almost standard 106gti 16v (the one i've postd about before) got a 14.6sec 1/4 at the pod with a 1.9sec 0-60ft!!!!!! Eagle F1 GSD2 tyres (standard pug size and wheels) magnex exhaust and sealed induction kit. Pretty good going huh?

I still cant get under 2.09 sumthing.
