Just did two more.

 

10.9 at 138

10.6 at 140

 

I got lots of wheel hop on both them runs so I'm giving up now before I break a diff, happy with my 10.5@138mph for now, going for 9's at suprapod;)

 

I still have the billet diff cover dude;)

Yeah very happy considering the wheels i had on the car, im confident the car has a 9 in it now.

 

Just got home, only got a couple of videos, just looking at them now.

I dont think i will need it with the 15's mate, never got wheel hop last year.

Nice work! So did you end up second? And is the Golf driven on the road? :)

 

I dont know yet, lots of cars still racing when i left, the golf turned up on a trailor and was a stripped out drag car.

 

I did both my runs with air-con blasting and in total comfort:D

Just got back myself, fist thanks to Jamie for the invite, been really good giving the car a thrash today.

 

Sadly I didn't get the 11.x I was after, driver skill probably being the biggest factor :D

 

I ran quite a few 12.3's (didn't get the 12.2) which were:

 

60ft   1/4 E/T   1/4 MPH
2.25   12.30     114.2
2.20   12.31     119.0
2.20   12.39     123.7

 

I got another 12.35 which I didn't pick the slip up for but my mate got on camcorder (uploading it now & will put up shortly)

 

I had a boost problem with the car meaning *sometimes* I would fall back to wastegate spring 1.0 BAR during 3rd & 4th gears. I think this explains why my terminals were all over the place, my highest terminal of the day was 125.5, but only managed a 12.7 on that run.

 

Jamie kindly offered to borrow me his wheels to get the 11, but I declined, I wanted to achieve it on my current rims & tyres.

 

I do believe with a bit more tweaking & practice I can get into the high 11's though.

 

Vid of the best run, it's in HD if you view it via youtube

Is that the one that Ryan maps? Runs a GT4094r?

 

Nah that one is a mk2 i think, its bigger anyhow, he was having a gear linkage issue when i spoke to him, certainly had potential to do a great time, think he has done a 10.6 in the past, again though its a fully stripped drag car.

Nice seeing you today mate, they are still respectable times, people dont realise how hard it is to get into the 11's or 10's in a manual car.

You too bud :thumbs:

 

I realise that now bud, I sort of set my expectations too high I guess, I realised that after 20 odd run & still couldn't beat 12.3 :D

 

Maybe Suprapod will get me there :D
