Yea sorry bear, when I have a fresh clutch that I’m comfortable with I’d have no problem giving it a shot but as is I’m not too confident in the clutch right now. My engagement point is much lower than I remember from the last outing.
Pete you hear about tsivas’ and bert’s convo last night?
Yes lol…
Tell Bert be won’t be touching 11’s tonight… 
Yea I don’t think so but he says the car has it in there somewhere. IMO I’ll need a clutch to get close.
I think with better cooling and a clutch in the winter 11.8 won’t be an issue with Bert driving
Interesting
Nothing much to the conversation…
He was saying he will break into the 11s and DA doesn’t matter much. I said he wouldn’t run 11s today.
you ran a 12.4 feb 2012 with -880? DA I believe. Tonight should be +800-900 when you go. +1500 DA swing in the wrong direction.
Things going against you…
not as good DA as your Feb 2012 visit, Stock clutch which you aren’t confident in, Your driver has never launched your car, 100 tune (not 104), no CPS which does help with repeated runs and 100 file timing pull/higher IATs especially in top of third/fourth gear (at least from what I have seen).
Mods you said should help vs last trip…
Test pipes (unproven for the most part?), revised v2.2 tune (wasn’t that more of a winter time bypass fix??), JHM LW rear rotors (5.5 lbs loss per rear corner), and Roc Euro intake.
Hope he runs 11s and proves me wrong. And I hope your clutch doesn’t give him trouble.
Mini burnouts worked great for my car but it makes sense to opt out with a weak clutch… One of the advantages with the DSG’s I guess.
^^^DSG is great…when it’s not breaking down and triggering a christmas tree of warning lights and a $5,000 repair bill 
Oh snap… Has that been happening a lot? I haven’t really been following DSG issues for awhile. They could always try and set the ecu back to default setting (or something)… It seemed to work for George.
Not sure if Ian is being hypothetical or if he’s heard of some failures, I’m very very curious on this…
Ian- have you heard of this happening or are you saying it could happen? Very curious/concerned
There have been a couple of Dsg failures and a boatload of mechattonics failures.
Funny thing is the guys who took their car to the strip the most… Primetime and 81beers…were fine. No idea what causes these issues. Just Audi I guess.
Apex - Did you make it to the strip? how did you do?
I ran into an isue with the car and didn’t get to make it at all. I probably shouldn’t say what happened as I don’t know the cause yet.
why not? it’s a small site. Probably get some good ideas on solving it.
It’s something that I’ve read on the forums before and I know more or less where it’s going. I just want the involved parties to handle it without pressure from anywhere. It’s not something that hasn’t happened before.
Sucks man… Good luck with the repair!
Thanks man, hopefully goes the same way as it has historically.
I’m guessing mechatronics? Good luck with mitigating the issue!
He’s got a 6mt lol
I was referring to the uhhhh… 6MT mechatronics… maybe he broke his right arm?
