Been neglecting this thread a little bit lately, not had the time to keep on top of the forums and social media. Anyway, This season in the A3 has been amazing, My rookie year in the VWDRC didn't go quite as well as I planned, but that's mostly down to me chasing numbers rather than trying to...

Easy peasy, just undo the 13mm and slacken the tensioner off (loosen the pump pulley nut first) then slip the belt off, no timing required :) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

As promised, albiet a long time coming; My solution was in the end a replacement HPFP. After replacing the rail pressure sensor and the pressure control valve with no sucsess, I checked the upstreme pressure to the pump, which held a steady 4.5BAR so i replaced the pump with a known working unit...

TTRS/RS3 engine. Get it done. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

You think YOUR A3 looks bad!? [emoji23] in other news, i'd happily give all of the above a new home :) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Just a quick update; Spring speed nationals last weekend was wet. Very wet. I ran without Nitrous all weekend, because of the knock sensor issues, but the same issue occurs without gas, so that's not the problem as I initially thought. Even tried changing the fuel in case of a dodgy batch, but...

It might be worth holding the gears longer, but i doubt it! 13.5 second 1/4 must mean i'm doing something right, even with 4 gear changes. The whole situatuation will change when the slicks go on, as they're massive, and will expand increasing my final drive ratio during the run. Sent from my...

Yeah i'm shifitng really early because of the power band. My hard cut rev limiter is actually set at 6200! No point reving beyond that on the k03. But it does mean i'm crossing the line in 5th. Looking at the logs, it takes me roughly 0.5 seconds to change gear :( lol. Sent from my SM-G920F...

Haha yeah the logs are a god send. Really good info considdering its just from the tablet, and standalone from the ecu (which can also do SD card logging) Yeah i cross the line in 5th, i have a 6spd 02M from a LCR, with short shifter :) The ss can make it a little tricky to get into gear...

Yeah, it does make drag racing very fun and easy to get into/be competitive. I got a phone call today from Santa Pod to tell me I had prize money coming my way! Not a massive amount, but I wasn't expecting anything, so I was very surprised! Pouring over my logs last night, i noticed a...

Sure! In the VWDRC, to create a level playing field, we compete via bracket racing. Rather than just heads up racing which means everyone is in with a chance of winning, no matter how fast/slow your car is. Otherwise, the guy with the deepest pockets wins. The way this works, is there are...

Ran a PB yesterday! 13.5! Unfortunately, I ran it on a 13.6 dial during round 3 of eliminations (Big Bang semi-finals) which meant I broke out, and was out. But I was still massively impressed with myself and the car. 13.5! on a K03 turbo. Nuts. Here is the in-car video of the run. If...

Dyno Tuning + GTI spring Fest. Ok, so bright and early saturday morning; I saddled up the transit and trailer for my first time towing anything other than my B+E instructor's car. Full tank of diesel and then I hit the road and headed to East Sussex Tuning to get my car Dyno tuned...

So here is a rather poor quality FB video of my car, and my gf's i-phone ran out of memory, so it cuts short... You can hear a chuuuuuuuut noise from my car, which i'm pretty sure is the crappy exhaust I have (two big leaks, and a dodgy back box) so a new custom pipe is on the cards. I also...

Oh and I almost forgot, this ones for @Prawn #RaceCarSelfie

Camp the morning after arriving (my transit, AKA Lennard the Racebus in it's natural habitat (camping pit side, with AC hookup, microwave and fridge in full effect!) Eagle eyed viewers would have spotted the addition of race number decals. My first ever run down the strip in this car was for...

Ok, so an exciting, albeit wet Easter weekend at Santa Pod Raceway. My first VWDRC event and very much a trial by fire endeavour, on a dodgy street tune we threw together in about 15mins... Before I went anywhere, I finsihed my ABS delete. Ended up making brand new lines up from the master...

Yeah i am finding that. The bias is way off. Pedal box may have to come sooner than i thought. Last time i did a k03 turbo on the car, i swore never again. Its easier on this car to take the engine out (doesnt take long) Although the K03's days are numbered as i already want more power! I...

I'm planning on fitting a pedal box later down the line, with a remote bias adjust, so i wont bother fitting one at this stage. Does anyone know which pipe is which on the master cylinder? I'm guessing the one nearest the bulkhead is for the front brakes?

So last night I went a little crazy and drilled a hole in my turbocharger. But luckily, it was just the right size to accept a tapered 1/8" NPT tap. And wouldn't you know it; that just so happened to be the size of my EGT probe bung. It's almost like i planned it. Okay, so it's not...
