Wow long time coming. Good work!
Thanks!
If I had taken my spare tire and my passenger seat out, I think I would have ran 12.9 in my baby
Yes! Very nice ground up build. What are your goals from here? Do you have a performance number you’d be happy with or is this it?
To be honest, my car needs a clutch and my $1,700 Turbo has a blown head gasket(Lol). I took it to the track because I wanted to have some fun. I may go back this Sunday.
A 12.5 back to back would satisfy my expectations. I have 3 other cars that I drive, but I love my a4 more than anyone could ever know, Probably because I built it from the ground up. It has problems and I am too busy spending time with my 3 children to want to spend any extra time building it to be faster than a 12 sec car.
As long as my car runs 12’s on the track while being full weight, I will be satisfied.
I built my car to be different and unique, not because I wanted to race people, or have the fastest Audi.
what kind of turbo are you running?
^^Garrett gt3788r.
WTF is that? Is that bigger than a GT35 (I know stupid question) Because if so that is freaking huge for a 1.8 Audi.
I believe faw has a 2.7 or 2.8
To Paper and Beemer, Its bigger than a 35r, but smaller than a gt4088r. I have a 1996 a4 2.8 shell, with a 1998 2.8 30 valve engine, with plenty 2.7 parts accompanied with some of my own custom parts.
It is definitely with lag and has been blown for over a year, but still enjoyable until I purchase a new cartridge.
Ya Ive been in a B5 1.8t with a GT35 and then again with a GT42 and that thing was fast as hell. It launched at some stupid boost level like 30PSI.
I bested my best bested time on Sunday.
On my way back from Maryland(I95n), I decided to get off on exit 9 and head to racewaypark for some fun and do 2 passes.
Pass #1) 13.0 something.
Pass#2) 12.6 something.
Congrats on besting your time, another milestone. Curious to know what were the changes? That’s quite the spread.
Well done!
In for an amusing video
This is the 7th time it’s been down the track in the past 2 years I believe. The previous outings the car was around 18psi and I only took it to around 6000rpm, this time 25 psi and 7krpm.
My car has been up and running for over 5 years and I would like to keep it running. I’m content for now with being a 12.6 sec car compared to being 11.6 or faster and broke down on Jack stands like so many others driving b5’s.
I’m going to try to make it down the track 2 more times at summer slam at englishtown this Sunday. I’m not trying to break any records, or my car on Sunday. I’m just going to enjoy my car that I built myself in my backyard.
traps…what were the traps.
Timeslips would be even better
I didn’t prepare for this track visit, so there’s no video. 118 trap on my 2nd pass.
