DC5 or WRX????!

[gsrgeoff]

Dave - if you mean my A4 tdi that I passed you in last week - that's my boring company car :lol:

I still have an evo V rs, and it kills me taking the audi to work Mon - Fri and my lass having the EVO, but I do an 80 mile round trip to work so couldn't afford the evo's fuel !!

Makes you look forward to the week-ends even more though

For real world driving on motorways,dual carriage ways A and B roads in the normal British climate the wrx ppp is the better car.Take the cars out on the track and the dc5 has the edge. :-k

ahhh thats the PPP though, the WRX on its on is still a very good package but not quite as tight as the DC5. Put the PPP pack on and everything becomes tighter etc etc. :wink:

quarter mile yesterday at york i got challenged by a wrx sti thingy, he couldnt believe the first run when i handed him his ass, so we had another go, same result :wink:

 

[Suped]

that 2 -0 teg!! RESULT! :lol:

 

[mikegsi]

certainly was! his face was mint! took it well though!

What was your times Mike?

 

[mikegsi]

best was 14.1, however im still waiting for them to update the results section on their website. the ticket machine ran out of paper on my last run against the scooby which i think was a quicker one, best reaction was .72 on the day, not my best but still good enough!
once i had grip i was away, pulled lovely through the gears, just first adn second were a bit spinny, with different softer/grippier tyres i'd a been in the 13's i reckon!

Nice one mate, i ran a 14.5 at Crail last weekend but really the surface up there is complete sh*te, concrete = wheelspin galore, need some proper tarmac laid down

 

[kingston]

Old age setting in is it, reactions arent as good as they used to be, best leave it to us younguns me thinks

What tyres you run on in the end?

ran with the potenza's in the end, dropped the fronts down to 15psi and they went fine, thing is though my pre k-pro time was 14.4, and now with k-pro i only managed a 14.1, i was expecting to knock a bit more off that time..... surface was dry so i cant blame that either!

Your car has a lot of torque now though Mike spinning up those front wheels, I'm not suprised your overall time wasn't as quick as you'd hoped :?
Time for a super-fat pair of fronts, me thinks?

 

[kingston]

would dropping the tyre pressure though meant even if you had more grip to get off the line = more surface area, would that not be detrimental to the top speed youd be able to achieve, hence the slower time?

 

[mikegsi]

not sure mate, last time i had the goodyears on adn dropped the pressur eon them too, everyone seemed to be doing it, if i havent sold my oem wheels by next time i'll try it with them on methinks

 

[kingston]

guess one way to do it would be to have a couple of runs with tyre pressure norm, lose 5 psi run, lose 5psi run etc etc until you find it...

I found in the past (with the seicento), that by swapping the wheels to slimmer, lower radius wheels/tyres the car was quicker due to the smaller rolling diameter....

 

[mikegsi]

hold up mate, now i know your telling porkies...........


seicento...........quick............seicento?????????????? :wink:

 

[kingston]

yeah, if youve driven one youd understand. Just because youve spent loads of money modding yours no need to get bitter :xgrphug: :xkiss: xredfinger

oh, anyone who has taken the m25/m11 S turn? i managed to take ti atleast 5mph quicker on the ps2s than pots, with only a little bit of bounce on the switch back (stupid golf made me change my line)

and back on track, so scooby vs dc5 then....
