trackday 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 First trackday in the VR6 yesterday at silverstone (amazing) but Houston we have a problem!!! Apperantly my car is pushing 200 bhp (i have a printout) its lightened,app has been cammed and forged pistons which i dont believe after having my mate in his stock app from suspension and exhaust and lightened pug 306 gti 6 accelarate like fook away from me!!! mine is good in the corners but the straights it was see ya and when he was following me i was faster in the corners but as soon as on straights he was right up my ass. my rev limiter has been moved to 8k instead of 7k and still he was there, any ideas on what i can do to make it faster cause rockingham is on march the 5th and that is a even faster circuit than silverstone. cant afford a turbo or super charger so mods that are cheap eg throttle bodies etc, here is a vid not edited and yes i do get a couple of orders wrong lol but hey its all part of learning Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 you did get a good spanking! Your mates does get the power down. I'd say your mates car is alot lighter. The VR is very lazy until you get about 3 - 4k, by then your mate is long gone! Depends on budget! Schrick would help low down, and a g60 final drive will give you more urgency! Forged pistons won't give you much BHP, if they were low comp you can sometimes loose power... Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 My mate has a stripped out Gti-6 and is faster off the line but I pull ahead at around 80 and keep going. But he is much quicker than mine in the corners as the vr is very front heavy and understeers a lot. A g60 final drive will definitely change the way it feels on a track so like Pete said I would recommend this too Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I had the same issue with a Clio Sport pulled away like fook until we hit around 80 his spanked out at 120 and I just cruised on past as the VR just keeps going........... But I like that! Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 As already said some weight reduction and gearing change. How is the car into and through the bends as there are some simple tweaks depending on your reply.... Link to post Share on other sites
trackday 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 As already said some weight reduction and gearing change. How is the car into and through the bends as there are some simple tweaks depending on your reply....she handled really well in the bends she has gaz gold suspension which we lowered when i got it and i changed the rebound half way through gave her more rebound on the front and less on the rear as going into beckets she was lifting the rear but after sorting the rebound was allot better.ok she had a bit of understeer but you have got to expect that with the big vr6 lump at the front oh camber is around 3.8 on the front,main prob was accelaration out the corners took allot of winding up cheers Link to post Share on other sites
