BReal Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I really thought something was packing up with my fuel pump when your exhaust at full chat came flying past me matt , probably lost me a good 0.5 seconds by the draft as you sailed past lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Ush Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 If you want low times go to crail, i got a 15.49secs down it. Or you could try edzel i got a 15.9 in the wet there. I've been told the 1/4 mile is a bit shorter than a 1/4 at these places but i don't care cos it makes my times quicker than all yours style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 heheno but surely the point of a 1/4 mile is that it is a 1/4 mile? if its shorter then it must be a 1/5 of a mile, or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 The guy from this article should have a go at Crail, then he might beat his record!3.58secs @386MPH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Ush Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 If i could get down to santa pod i would. Its not my fault scotlands got ****ty 1/4 miles. At the last crail some boy in a MG ZR 1.4 got a 14.7 :roll: Oh how i laughed, my mate in the other lane ran a 17.1 and he beat the boy ZR. Don't know how that works :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I think there's something seriously wrong with the timing gear up there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_Ush Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I was at the first crail this year where i got a 15.49 and I was at the first edzell this year where I got a 15.9 in the wet, either the timing gear is a bit faulty or my bog standard car is a second quicker than yours????????? I wish my car was a second quicker than yours but i wouldn't have thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexLoop Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 best thing to do if you want like a real 15 sec 1/4 mile is get your GTI up to 160bhp and then u will cruise easily past a standard one... anything standard i think would only just about run under 16 but thats down to the driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoil Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 CTR is 166bhp/ton, would like to equal that as theres a fool near me who can`t drive for crap who has one and I want to teach him a lesson!I don`t think there is a comparatable car to the loopy gti in terms of cost per bhp of tuning it up if you know what I mean!

EssexLoop Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 yeah i know exactly what u mean... isnt the Lupo 112bhp per tonne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_Ush Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Whysettle for 160bhp when you can get the rothe motorsport turbo kit, gives you 222bhp and is supposed to make lupo GTI's accelerate to 125mph 5 secs quicker than an R32 golf. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexLoop Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 well i think 160bhp is more my thing... wouldnt want too much power, plus the price difference for the 222bhp conversion would be Huge.Yeah always wanted a mini cooper gargoil... and now everyone knows :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marqs_Loopy Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Who sells that then Kev or is it there own brand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
