Most recently 13.88 at 104 mph at Santa pod, 0-60ft 2.3 seconds. She pulls strong in every gear, its a stage 3 vortech V3 with methanol, 17" rims yoko parada tyres. She needs cams and slicks, but where will that get me? We built her as a track car and we do track her, but there is something very seductive (and expensive) about getting down the strip quicker than last time. I was expecting 13.5 this year and conditions were near perfect. Is late 13's the best I can get with a stripped out 300hp mk3? What are your tactics when traction is an issue on start and under boost?

Apologies for not meeting up with you guys, I didn't have a clue where you were until it was too late, we left quite early on the Sunday as I was on a course in MK until yesterday, but also had a beaut of a hangover to boot! Was reasonably happy with the venue, thought it was tatty but I think it will be a good venue with a few learnt lessons. Sorry to hear about your splitter Pete, I hope it's an easy fix. The quality of cars on show was epic, MRC's R8 turbo a highlight but also finding an extremely drunk (lost) man at the toilets at a ridiculous hour, I asked him what cars were next his te

Our car should be ready for this, little bit of fettling to do tomorrow then it's on for Friday departure, excited a bit... Maybe :-)

I've got 4,500 songs in iTunes and loads on disc, ranging from AC/DC to Adam Beyer to Kylie. My love is house music. Defected, house masters, sonny fodera etc the list goes on. I've been DJing for 17 years now, so I love the older stuff I used to play in the late 90's early 00's, the classic trance stuff. Gods kitchen released an album in 2010 mixed by Matt Darey, I still listen to some of the tracks at least once a week in the car :-)

Check all bulbs are working, if there are no bulbs out I would advise looking at the rear light clusters, water ingress can cause shorts and corrosion etc, replacing the lens seals would be advisable if this is the case.

Ok cheers dude. All I know is they are 4-pot 997. So we will need oem Porsche discs plus adapters and 18's to get them fitted?

Rhian has got her mits on some 997 calipers and we intend to fit them to the charged VR (also doing a few other bits to her before Inters :-) ) has anyone gone for this setup? What discs can you use? Will an 18" rim be suitable to house these lovely beasts?

Rhian will be there tomorrow with Unit20, I on the other hand will be fitting an EGR system to an Eos, and a rear screen to a Passat. God damn work...

Thanks everyone, fantastic turn out and spot on (almost) weather. I've got a few pics and I'll get them up as soon as my obligatory VR6OC major event wounds have healed!

We are still coming, but will make a decision on Thursday evening wether to bring the VR as we have a low air filter, and the engine doesn't run on water!

Was 3rd on the Saturday by .04, 1st on the sunday and top of the 0-60 both days. Chuffed to bits with that, and made up for Craig for epically underestimating his cars potential!

Was a really good weekend, bit quiet on the Saturday, but Sunday was heaving, I've never seen so many show n shine cars, and the company have generated a bit of business off it which made wrestling the marquee in 50mph wind on the friday worth it. Was great to see Dan and Craig, and made up for you Craggsy, I don't think anybody saw that coming! Looking forward to seeing the results. Was a terrible end though, my thoughts are with anybody involved. There is an official statement on the GTI website now, worth a read. Looking forward to Bugjam now! :-)

Ok dude, cheers for the info, will see you all at bug jam then :-)

Ok thanks mate. Are we the only ones camping then Tony? Rhian is working on the unit20 stand so we will be first in at 12 ish, would like to camp with people from the club, but not sure what's gonna happen when we get there as its the first time Rhian has had to work.

Can any one tell us if we have an area allocated for club camping? We will be turning up tomorrow, so i was just wondering where we should pitch if anywhere?
