APR Tuned Candy White Golf 6 R from South Africa

And this past weekend I attended DragWars2014. It was held at Tarlton International Raceway which is in our valley, South Africa.

Quite a number of VAGs attend this event. Quite possibly the largest drag racing event for the VAGs here in South Africa. Here are some pics...

And here is a video of a collection of runs taken from my friends in the day.

My best ended up being a 12.5 on the 400m with an exit speed of 175.6km/h. Runs also seem to be pretty consistent judging from my timeslip.

Was a great day and I really enjoyed it. Much quieter than last year, but that just meant I had more runs which meant more fun. I ran in full street trim. OEM interior, with spare wheel, etc. and I also ran with my everyday street Yokohama S-Drive tyres...

I am very happy with my results as I placed 3rd in the VAG all wheel drive class which had a total of 18 cars there for the day in that class. I reckon I could have done a bit better provided I had a pitcrew or at least someone to help spray ice water on the queue starting line. My intake temps were 58 degrees in the queue. When racing, it would drop to about 35 degrees even with meth, and would just start climbing back up again.

Here is my timeslip:


And the results where I placed 3rd for my class:

Some updates...

My R went in to the local bodyshop again.

Ordered a badgeless grille and GeCleant rear wiper delete grommet.




As I did not want to use the plastic insert notch filler cause it looked cheap and tacky, then sourced a second hand OEM bonnet and had the notch welded and filled by our local bodyshop...



They swopped the bonnet and fitted my badgeless grille. So I get to store my OEM bonnet and grille away.

The rear wiper was replaced with the GeCleant glass grommet and car was also given a full detail.

Looking good as always.

12.5 for the 1/4 mile is pretty good for a daily driver. I bet you have a smile every time you drive.

Cheers

And I've been having some fun or only getting the time to really enjoy her now...

Took her for some rolling runs against my friend's cars:

My Stage 2+ R vs a Stage 2 Focus ST250 (1st 2 runs) The other runs are the Stage 2 ST250 taking on a stock ST250.

I then had her valeted completely again. Shines like a bottle again...

When you get paid do you put some aside for food, some for drinks and a big pile for valet services?

Lol!! Only for valet products. I clean and valet my car myself. Other places will just scratch and swirl the paint finish!

Wow, that's one of the nicest Rs I've ever seen.
