Where cwisys son James is concerned, that may very well be the case

He's on the right track!

 

[cwisy_S3]

yes looking forward to seeing how his car performs. Hes spent a lot of money this last few months improving things.

 

[Paradox1]

What's his golf running?

 

[Prawn]

I'm sure it was something daft like 490ish last time I heard Marty, not sure if that's with / without the Gas though.

Either way, it's fast!!!

 

[cwisy_S3]

just under 500bhp i think and about 12sec quarter mile last time he run it there,

 

[Prawn]

has he got a diff in it now Chris?

(I'm assuming your name is Chris, and your username is to be pronounced in a Jonathan Ross style )

 

[cwisy_S3]

[cwisy_S3]

I seem to recall it was around 390-400ish last year Bill, and madly enough, on road tyres with an open diff!

I never saw it run, but can only imagine traction was more than a small issue

You may be interested to hear that James old turbo is the one that now lives on Adams Leon

 

[cwisy_S3]

hes should drop the lump into my S3 i rekon lol

You're right, from that pic, and my utterly stupidly geeky knowledge of activity across vag forums, I'd say they're the pair of wheels that James sold to SJW late last year.

235/45 R888's on some form of Volks style rims.

Ok so who is camping for the weekend? And who is there just for Sunday? Would be good to meet up.
Ill be there in my s3 camping but won't be running down the strip.

 

[Danny Cawsey]

So santapod turned out to be pretty pants this weekend, the track was only open for about an hour on Saturday then the rain took over which was a shame. There was a silver s3 that ran a 13.7 while the track was open. Anyone from here?

Also liquid s3 I had a little look at your car, I must say it is immaculate and those calipers are huge I did ask one of the guys next to it who owned it but he said you were off wondering about.

Ill try and upload some pictures later

Some unlucky person picked the wrong spot
