New to this Forum. Gday all.

Had my car a few months now and decided to take it out to willowbank on the weekend.

Golf R 3Dr Manual APR Stg 1

Had a few passes with the best being a 14.1 at 100.97mph. 2.15 60ft Had major dramas launching it, it kept bogging down. My old supercharged cooper s did 2.1 60ft

(only ran 14.9 at 95mph)

Does this seam right for an APR stage 1 tune?

Cheers All

Manuals are always going to be a pain to launch perfectly so hard to compare but your mph seems to match a few other APR ST1 tuned cars.

Yeah, I had a skim through the previous 50 pages but didnt find to much about 1/4mile times for the manuals.

I think there is a definate high 13 if i can get a good start. A friend came out in his Evo 10 with a DSG box. Stock with a muffler he ran 13.5 first ever pass.

Damn DSG (jealousy is a curse)

I guess the poor old clutch needs some more violating to get into the 13s

Beleive it or not the DSG does gain around half a seccond over 400m's!! So your time seems about right based on times that some of the journo's get with the stock manuals.
The only way to get a better launch would be a clutch dump from redline, which is mechanical RAPE for your poor R.
Evo = SST

Yeah my bad with the evo dsg.

I was talking to another guy with an evo tonight. His has 220wkw and is manual, he told me he got a 60ft of 1.6s, that is unbelievably quick. Half a second quicker then mine. Do you guys think this is possible with a manual R? (or even close) I realize the evo's are lighter also.

1.6s is a very good 60ft time even for an Evo. To get that you're talking a 6k+ rpm launch. Best I've ever achieved is a low 1.7.

I would have thought a sub 2s 60ft time would be easily achievable with an R if you want to do the same sort of launch.

**dave_r** · 28-06-2011, 11:07 AM

Anything is possible but I wouldn't want to be that brutal just for a 1/4m run. Someone else's car? Sure

**adzy** · 28-06-2011, 03:09 PM

that's the thing it ain't worth it unless u are trying to break a record. There are things like the WOT box which holds revs and builds boost before u launch, this would improve 60' as you wouldnt have that delay of waiting for boost to build once the clutch is dropped.
