    Not had it on dyno yet but Vortex are arranging a day on the 16th April and I will be attending for sure.
    The other car was my son Sammy 125TDI in his 177kw's ATW Mk6 Golf GTi also GIAC chipped. He was not happy.
    Fantastic run wooduck, congrats on the time and the tune. Does the timeslip record the 0-100 time as well?

    I don't feel sorry for Sammy; 13.6 for a FWD manual GTI is pretty damn good IMO - tuned or not. That'd have to be a bitch to launch hard!

    That's a cool time woodduck. Last week when I was there, everyone was complaining about the conditions. Sammy didn't break the 14 second mark on that night. I managed a 13.617 which I was happy with given the times and remarks from others there on the night.

    Night was cooler towards the money run. I want more now though.

    AdamD, no 0-100 as that is a speed measurment inside the car.

    Makes sense.

    No drags here in SA. I'm going to have to do a Sydney run just for WSID.

    Hi Adam, the car is running the STOCK K03 with a GIAC tune. And yes, its a bitch to launch

    Corey, it turns out the reason i couldn't get the power down the week you were there was due to a broken pendulum mount. The car was axle tramping and wheel spinning through 1st and 2nd gears. The last visit before i broke it saw 13.9-13.8's all night. I installed a new Volkswagen racing mount and it took 3/10th off my 60' time.

    Fab's Gtech is an older, non-GPS equipped device. It operates solely based on accelerometers, and is therefore prone to error. The current model has a 10Hz GPS chip and the accuracy is claimed to be much better.
    Couldn't agree more and the amount of runs I've done with Fab's Gtech and the Performance Box (GPS) side by side has proven only one thing to me. They're inconstant devices!

    I've seen them near identical, 0.2sec diff or even upto .6sec diff. Flat road, slight up hill or down hill, the differences aren't even consistent between road type. I almost farken give up trying but I'm a stubborn ****!

    Effectively, Gtech at its maximum descrepency is 2/tenths off.
