Hey, congrats on the record!!
my gti has pretty similar mods to yours, except the weight shedding..I'm having a hard time with 0-60 and 1/4 runs..
anything you can let me know technique wise? how do you get such a good launch? are you short shifting in 1st? traction control?

I found traction control being on was the best option, when turned off it just wouldn't put down the power and wheel span on the line wasting time , had my tyre pressures standard on the back and 20-25psi on the front ! I found leaving it in sport mode was and shifting up in 4th towards the top of the revs range most efficient , that gave me my best times !

Hi mate,

How did you get the front badge off without breaking the clips behind it?

Is it literally just push in and turn to the right?



Thank You!

well yea theres not much to it but it can be a pain in the arse ! i tend to get something in as leverage to twist it as the more tugging you do the more likely the clips are to break !

got them done by a friend probably best asking him i have no idea ! all i know is that is very expensive ! haha
