[adamw]

hi guys

just been up to a trackday at unst in shetland with the s4

my best time was 15.1? is that anything like it should be for a stock urs4?

this was my first (official) timed 1/4mile race! good fun
cheers adam

Adam, it doesnt sound too bad. I guess that also includes reaction time? What revs were you launching at?

[YELL MAN]

Damn if i had known that you had gone up with the s4 i would have ventured up.Never mind mabye next time.

[adamw]

dont know if it was including reaction times. i will find out danite. i think it was 4-6k lanches but again im not shure because i was revin it up insted of holding it at 5-6k den dumpin the clutch(first time doin serious power lanches) . i was a bit hesatant because its my daly and a dont want anything to break... but still givein it beans! the speedo was showing 100mph across the line.

still with da winter tyres on!

@brian
i got over taken by a itchypussy L200 king cab just when i got off da ferry in yell on da way up to unst. he was averaging 85mph to the other ferry! an he topped out at 105mph along the straghts
i've never driven in yell before but holy ***** it was fun!
what times did you get last time u were at da thrash?

Hi Adam, I managed a 14.8 last year but that was on 18" RS4's this year i plan to run with standard 16" wheels to see if that will improve my time much. Also i was having problems with the boost protection cutting in on some of the runs and when it didn't cut in the car just felt as though she was holding back very irritating. It turned out to be a dirty MAF so i cleaned it and got the above time on my last run.

[YELL MAN]

Oh and by the way that was launching at 5000-5500RPM. I think i might try launching with the diff lock next time.

[adamw]

you should o came up coz it was good weather for it. davids eunson's pulsar was runnin 14.7. mind u it is just a gloryfied micra!
im goin to swap the front tyres with the back coz there a bit low on tread now.
i widna mind goin for a perrie run in da coupe to see the diffrance compaired to da s4?

[YELL MAN]

Yea shame i missed it. But im sure there will be another one soon so you can see the coupe.
