S3 Power tests

I would suggest that if we're going to try and get some of this on film, it might be worth doing it during the day time.

I'd happily book a day off - if everyone else is feeling that vibe?

I'll happily take the day off too, given enough notice. Real life top gear with more good bits!
 
lol, I want video. I want some good filage of my car launching off thte line. I want to try and capture the noise :).

The same with Tuffty's his sounds epic.

Mine sounds pretty... normal :crying:

There will be plenty of stats.... lol.

My mate will be tagging along with his completely OEM S3 as well for a comparison of all makes and models.

I garantee your mate with the stock S3 will come away from the day wanting to empty his bank account at Bills ;)

If any of you can get hold of a 4Kam that would be good as you can mount multiple mics and fit the camera in the bumper or **** pit. nice bit of kit.
 
A cheap easy and possibly free way of doing it..... How i hear you ask, lol.

Contact redline and tell them what your thinking of doing, nearly every month they hold some kind of event like this and make a 10 page spread comparing etc.

They normal do it on a airfield strip of a track with a good stretch plus track etc.

Just a thought :).

Dani, that is a great idea and I will look into it.
 
Sorry dude, I forgot to mention, it will most likely be a private affair....

how rude! :beee:

I'LL GET MY OWN AIRFIELD THATLL SHOW U :moa:


Look these guys shared...

Sorry dude, and I know how you feel, but the plan is just to get a couple of hours of blatting about in, and then ****** off.

It would be much harder to con the use of a runway if lots of people were coming. :(

I'd love it to be a big thing, but this time it simply can't be. I may speak to the bloke and see if we could do something like that in the future.
 
haha, I think that may well be the plan for Ultimate Dubs next year! Do you think I'll get inside???
 
Anyway, on with the relevant info:

Aston down airfield looks like this

The runway being used is 1500m long.
 
how long of a run does that give us do you think, 1200m?
 
Good work mate... should have my new FMIC sorted next week so hopefully have all the horsepowers for the day :)

<tuffty/>
 
What sort of data you going to get welly. If you do 30-130 runs i can give you a link which has got loads of tuned cars times if you wanted to compare others buddy, 0-100 would be good also.
 
Theres all sorts we could do
Drags over a set distance, Rolling and standing starts, with logs and being brave enough to have a look at the speedo lol.
0-100
100-0 std vs Brembos
0-100-0
