You got an LSD?

Im running a Quaiffe LSD in a Golf GT TDi 6 speed box - the 336 bhp its got at the moment is surprisingly controllable - with racing slicks running at the correct pressure i manged a 0 - 60 foot time of 1.9 !!! at the pod....now thats subaru territory !!!

Brock · Nov 9, 2005

Bryan · Nov 9, 2005

lol, getting the f4r to 450bhp will be interesting to see

there's got to be a good reason matt went with the vag engine

Fred@BTM · Nov 9, 2005

lol a 172 with 450bhp, the gearbox will self destruct

Brock · Nov 9, 2005

Yeah trust me I cant believe it too!!! Im dying to see it!!!

Ian_182 · Nov 9, 2005

Dont you reach a point in cars where theres just to much power.For e.g,I know 2 people 1 has a 500 bhp escort cossie and the other has a 380 bhp cossie and theres nothing in it,At some stage there must be a point where its pointless to add any more

Still looking forward to this though.

Fred@BTM · Nov 9, 2005

yeah with too much power, you'll have 0 traction

but with the use of LSD's and traction control/launch control/ big ass slicks = job done

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Jabbasport, thats a name i remember from my past.......

Mike Truluck, he's a GOD in the car tuning game, WIZARD!!!!!!!!!!!

letstorquebhp.com reckons 450bhp 4wd will get 1/4 mile times into 10seconds, and fwd would be low 12's

Pauldredge · Nov 9, 2005

was your car at santa pod for the fireworks? sure it was your car. where are you based?

Bryan · Nov 9, 2005

accrington iirc, well that's where the breakers are

easy to spot if it was paul, orange in colour, no interior, black steelies and an impreza bonnet scoop

Chris n nic · Nov 9, 2005

Used to be a different scoop but is now a Valver one instead.

The S reg clio m8...1.8 Turbo VAG engine running over 330bhp and stripped out. Main point is that it looks like a sh*tty 1.2 but would stay next to a Ferrai 360 all day ( and pass it as well)

Is there anything thats beaten the sleeper at all?

Doubt many Mac F1's visit the pod do they?

Pauldredge · Nov 9, 2005

the real power of the car is from about 70mph onwards ( once traction kicks in )

AFAIK it's running 172 Cup gear so should be too bad.

FlamingMonkey · Nov 11, 2005

not many corners in drag racing....lmao

running cup 172 front brakes and calipers + Koni adjustable FK coilovers front and rear - strut braces all round........the car will outrun everything on this site on the twisties - on the straights it will humiliate them

how do you know what ever other members cars are and their driving abilities, does it have the MKII RS chassis or just some firm suspension

he has an orb that tells him what others think

MATT BLACK · Nov 11, 2005

Ive just explained what it has - ive been to most track days and know most people on here that do the track day scene - even if they have me on the bends i will catch and pass them on the straights.......fancy a do ???

MATT BLACK · Nov 11, 2005

By the way 172 RS shells are exactly the same as standard 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 shells - there the same part number - there not uprated or strengthened in any way

Phill1978 · Nov 11, 2005

ok m8 whatever

TheJesus · Nov 11, 2005

tbh nothing in this club would be able to even hope to fend it off on the straights, so corners dont really matter as it would get past you and catching something that fast would prove almost impossible... maybe Mike T's car might have a chance?

MATT BLACK · Nov 11, 2005

ok m8 whatever

Hummm...debateable...mayb in a straight line..."People offen forget there's only so fast you can go round a bend"

haha, that's why i said might dude

(cant see it standing a chance personally... pwr/weight is well in your favour... as will be power I imagine? lol)

y0z2a · Nov 11, 2005

in its trim at Bruntingthorpe it didn't catch me.

BUT, that was nothing to do with it not being a lot quicker - I think that was to do with where on the circuit we were. IIRC he overtook the ecosse GTI6 Touring car, and that overtook me on the straights comfortably.

It is one rapid car, and as matt says - its so quick on the straights that I don't think much would keep with it. remember this thing is good for 150 + MPH and it gets there very quickly.

I don't think even my cup would come near it on a circuit with a few straights on it like bedford. I would like to think i could have it, but i doubt it - It would be the same with Ktec / BB turbo - straight line they have 250 + bhp this has 400+ bhp...

not a chance.

and matt can drive (sometimes ;-) )

The car doesnt but j3neds as bent as they come

TheJesus · Nov 11, 2005

so what your saying Yoz, is that the best way to beat it is when it's on the recovery truck not moving? (Williams style lol)
think Matt was having probs at Brunty too, Yoz you were going pretty well to... until you blew your bloody car up, but f**k it, that's what they are for and what a fun way to do it

Phill1978 · Nov 11, 2005

but his ego weighs loads

lol lol

JBarber · Nov 11, 2005

so how much have you spent on it?
