Leon 1/4 mile times...

[The MoffMeister]

LMFAO!!!!

i have beaten your time in Robs leon cupra (Stretch79)... it has APR remap with induction kit/DV.


iv just dug up the slip.. i got a 14.672 @ 93.54mph


and just so you know rob could only get 14.69 in his car too! (so you beat him too! )

Only cos he weighs a stone lighter and we all know about power to weight ratio!! Well all apart from j@mes that is!!

please rob... you drive your car day in day out, was the first time i had driven your car! (completely different clutch to mine! and i got the quickest time 2nd run! )

so even if i weighed 30stone you should still beat me... unless of course im just a better driver?!


you should be happy rob! if it wernt for me your car would be 2nd!

1/4 mile is all about the launch...mess it up..wave bye bye to a good time...I was at TRAX last weekend..and was shocked at the leons doing the 0-60 sprint...Best i saw was 7.8...It was all stickerd up aswell, thought it may have been special.


Really wished my car had been there, probably would have set a much better time, a LC pushing 234bhp and 267 ft-lbs torque. but it was in the shop having bilstiens fitted. My m8 managed a 5.98 in a vxr, but it should have been doing Mid 5's..but he kept messing up his launch.

I take it his VXR is modded?

 

[YerMother]

Could be a VXR220 he is tlaking about there are meant to be 5.5 to 60!!

 

[CupraJay]

I take it his VXR is modded?

Yea. Its at full stage 2..Producing 301 bhp. 310 ft-lbs torque.

 

[J@mes]

would have thought it would be slightly quicker than that,,, i thought they were 6.2 to 100kmh at the standard 240ps output.... so at 300bhp i would have thought with a very good start a low/mid 5 sec would be achievable!

If u read the post..i did say that..I also said he only managed a 5.9 because he kept messing up his launch..It was the second Time he'd been to a 0-60 event. Sure he'l improve as time goes on.

looks like you need some drag radials bill suggests you had some spin up by the looks of it

quick times though - quite a few could embarass a few exotic cars i'll bet

 

[CupraJay]

sorry dad!

Thats ok son..Il hold onto my belt for now.

James, have you experienced any clutch slip yet? Your 1/4 mile hard launches must be doing some damage?

I replaced mine yesterday and there was not a lot of friction plate left lol

I had only ever done 3-4 launches on it aswell, and they were half hearted attempts compared to yours

 

[CupraJay]

An uprated clutch is deffinatly needed. I can smell you clutch alot lately. Its just well on its way out..after upping the power..and attending a few events..the clutch deffinatly needs uprating next. Any suggestions?

 

[Mitchy]

Is yours 240mm aswell? Where in the rev range is it slipping and are you experiencing any excess vibration?

Normally with a slipping clutch you can damage the flywheel so dont leave it to long if it is slipping, luckily mine was fine, thank god as they are certainly not cheap

mine seams fine mitchy! (touch wood!)


im hoping it wont go whilst i have the car!


how long do they usually last on a mapped car?

my car is 19months old, got mapped just after a year/10k miles


also wat sort of price we looking at? if i replaced mine i would deffo get an uprated one. whilst its off and especially if ur fly wheel needed skimming, i wonder how much a lightend and balanced flywheel would be?!

 

[Mitchy]

I got my car remapped around 20000 miles ago and its been slipping on/off now for around the last 5-6000miles

It would only do it though in 5th/6th gear below 3500 rpm. If i got caught below 3500rpm, i would either part throttle it until above 3500rpm or change down into 5th/4th.

I had the clutch fitted yesterday at JBS for £220 which i thought was a good price. I supplied clutch.

Standard flywheel is £550-£600. No idea how much a lightened flywheel is

JBS offer a swapping system on your flywheel if it is knackered! He'll replace it for another used but skimmed flywheel for around £150. He'll then send your flywheel to be skimmed and sell it onto the next customer and so on and on. Thought that was pretty good really seeing as a new 1 costs 4 times that amount! Luckily though mines was fine!

Another VAG based tuner quoted me £350 fitting and was adamant i needed a new flywheel at £550. He told me my flywheel would definitely be damaged and need replacing if the clutch was slipping! Just pays to shop around lol

I fitted a sachs paddle clutch with an uprated 430lbft pressure plate. No real difference in pedal feel either which was good!

No more slipping and allows me to progress a bit further with BT conversion
