last year in the vx220 at pvs i was playing around with my launch control on 1/4 mile!

to set it on the line, that sits the revs to 4000 till you drop the clutch and then racelogic does some stuff to get you a good start off the line, well santa pod was slippy so its just wanted to spin so racelogic cuts the revs which then the ecu decided the car needed to go into limp mode which is like 3cilinders!

so i am crawling off the line with no power so crawling along i turn the car off and then back on, then crack on and put my foot down!




ohhh and still managed to catch the cav 4x4 turbo i was up againt and just overtake before the finishline and got a 1/4 miles of just over 15 sec!

was funny! everyone just thought i made a mess of start! lol

I can go one better...

In my 106 gti I went from 1st to 2nd and blew a hole in the gearbox, spilling oil all over the track ... track was closed for about 2 hours while they cleared it, then everyone got absolute wank times all day in that lane because it was still a bit slippy...

Meanwhile I was standing at the end of the strip with my fucked car, having people drive past knowing I'd just ruined their day...

don't worry, I put 1 group n engine mount on one side and left the other mounts standard... I launched it and the engine was twisting on one side and not the other... hence SNAP / gearbox mount ripped out the side of the housing.
