Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Now then chaps and chapess'. As I know there is quite a few 1/4 mile fans on here, I thought I would take the opportunity to see if any of the CTR lot fancied joining us VW GTI boys @ Pod for a RWYB day on Sunday 1st Feb?
We have 34 of us lot going on last count, most of which are running and with it being a standard RWYB day (fairly quiet) there should be plenty of chance to get as many runs as you like in.. Most of our lot have never been to Pod, let alone run, so there will be no rivalry (as such , but a good friendly day out to admire and watch each others motors.
We have a mixture of GTI's going varying from standard GTI's to sub 400bhp ED30's, so a good mixture and I am also inviting the VXR, ST, Megane Sport, Cupra and R32 boys too, so should be a nice mixture of Hot Hatches..
So if any of you guys fancy it, stick your name down and lets see if we can make it a cracking day out...

A little banner one of our chaps made for the occasion.. lol

No exact time mate.. I'll be there from about 9 - 9:30am (track doesn't open till 10am anyway. Just get there whenever you're ready. But I would asume you lot will form a convoy like most of the other forums are doing and go in together..

Are there any ground rules for this? For example, can I run slicks?

No rules really mate, otherwise it would be a nightmare to sort..
Have you got the blower on now, what spec?

No, I have fitted all the essentials, like the intercooler etc, but haven't yet bothered to finish everything off. I'm going to trailer the car to TDI-North in the next few days, get them to sort everything out and finish everything off then map it. Will do the interior bits myself at home, the clutch and the driveshafts will be done at home....
Nearly sorted, haven't yet built the engine because off the pound at the minute. Once it gets better against the dollar then I'll get the other engine imported.
Looking to run 12.5's ..... Might not even run 13's lol. But aim is to break 12.5 out of the box on Febuary the 1st.

Mmmmm sounds interesting.. What sort of power will that be? 300-350?

VTEC ABUSER wrote:Mmmmm sounds interesting.. What sort of power will that be? 300-350?

We'll see in regards to power, the car weighs around 1000 kg. So, dependant on how safe it is to play with the boost, anything between 310-330 bhp. I wont go a drop over 330 bhp on standard internals.

Regardless of power, its the way the car is set up that helps in drag. Suspension settings, slicks, uprated driveshafts, fx700 clutch, launch control, line lock etc.

With a 1000kgs kerb weight and that set up, you won't need anymore power than that to get mid 12's I wouldn't think.. Sounds like a proper weapon mate..
Unfortunately mine is used to do 3-4k a month with work, so I need interior and road trim set up..
May lob the back bench out though..

Ben i hope you dont mind, but i have posted about this on crx-uk to see if they want to join the fun

No worries, it is a open RWYB day after all...

Put me down, as long as the weather's good.

Its always nice to get the car out of the garage for the first run of the year

Cannot get my car ready until mid Febuary now.

Hope there is another one later on in the year if this one goes ok.

I will still be attending, just not in my car. :bigcry:

Hopefully, The engine will not be built for this years series though. However, I'll still run.

I see you have similar times/terminals to me Cressie, could be interesting (unless of course that's an old time..? )
