View Full Version : Gti International
Hi Bill,
Saw your car at gti international yesterday and just thought i'd tell you how awesome i thought it looked. I didn't manage to get as good a look round it as i would have liked though, maybe next time!

just checked out the sprint results, didn't realise you'd ran, i'm gutted i missed it!
Looks like you're struggling for grip though from you 0-60 time!

the sprint results are up?
on the autometrix site?
lots and lots of wheelspin getting power to the ground yep! that and my complete lack of talent in that dept too. :hide:
the results are on www.theresults.co.uk, think i was the 8th fastest seat on sunday which isn't bad considering it's not chipped, its got 18s, a tonne of stereo and a f****d turbo!
Hmmmm.

yeah as i said in gti international thread I need to learn to drive :p before attempting drag's
Cant get launch right, either bog down first and light up second or light up first 2 gears, or as my 3rd run, not get into 2nd gear :(
My first attempts at 1/4 mile drag on strip...... More difficult than you would think. Atleast I beat everything I was up against so some male pride atleast. Just wish I done more than 3 runs now :(

I second that! My first run was actually my fastest though!
For the first 2 runs i wasn't ready for the light (should have had an amber one) but got off the line prety well but then on my third and final run i was ready for the lights but managed to somehow drop my revs as i launched and ended up bogging down :doh:
Was a good laugh though as i was racing my brother-in-law in his mk4 Golf 180.

yeah dont like the light thing, added pressure u dont need :p So does the clock start as soon as green happens or from launch?
probably when you break the beam on the start line

Only did 2 runs on the sunday. Put in a time to win the mkiv class by a mile and then didn't see the point of risking breakage.
I could probably have shaved another 10th or 2 but I was happy to win my class (again)
My excuses for being slower than bill are; carpets, doorcards, complete aircon system, full stereo, glovebox full of crap, 100kg+ of extra body pannels, and 100hp deficit. Take your pick.
It iz all your Bling jon.....
gotta hand it to the badger though, slow on the strip but quick on the pull, nice lady there Billo, there's life in the old dog yet LOL

{sarchastic pi$$ take mode on-NOT to be taken seriously}
Its easier to launch a lower powered car off the line than a higher powered one.
{that and the complete inability I seem to have to manage a good standing start LOL}

I nearly put similar disclaimers on my post bill.
I'd have no shame in getting my arse handed to me by you, or caney. It's what I'd expect. Hence why I was so happy with our little race. Against a Mkiv or a leon, I'd be dissapointed though.
Launching is definitely the difficult bit. I fail to get it right 9 out of 10 times.
Competition usually does it for me though. If i'm up against a car I expect to kill, I launch appallingly. Against a car I expect to lose too it all comes together, so you did me a favor. It's a shame you can't teach me to go around corners and brake late now.
