This is fantastic. It's not really a soot chucker is it?

If you do any more drag events you should definitely get some external footage.

erm ok. that is pretty epic.

only things bad are wind defectors and its not a manual.

is the superb proper awd or is it one of the fake awd that you get on tt rs and rs3?

Manual much slower and cannot take more than stage 1 without clutch being too heavy to be usable.
Also does not have launch control.

"Fake" awd.

Yes, it is my daily family car when not running the 1/4 mile.
Even at the drag strip though the DSG is approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds faster.

fair enough

i suppose its kind of like me wanting a 500hp v8 mondeo with rwd, that would be pretty crazy. the difference is you have been mad enough to do your crazy dream build

Amazing!

Vita · 2 Aug 2017 at 21:43

It is a brilliant build. The potential with Vag cars is crazy, yet you've done it with a car that no-one would think twice of. I like it.

Yeah I fell for this one, had no idea what I lined up against!

Kosta v the Skoda is classic

Ben Cole · 3 Aug 2017 at 00:26

Great effort.

By the way, are you the same micloi I bought a Moto X from in 2015?

Akagi · 3 Aug 2017 at 00:33

Probably not if it was on here, he joined in 2016 and is far from having 1000 posts for MM access.

Gaygle · 3 Aug 2017 at 00:33

Great thread.

Love the build diary. It really seems as though you can get these cars up to 400bhp without much effort at all!
