Tom's B6 Build Thread

[Pu241]

That's just too cool. Next time I see the Snap-off man. I gotta have them.

Think they were made only one year, eurotiva!
We had to modify the formulation of the handle so it was FDA compliant.
Should have been a matching pepper shaker too.
So they are rare, bet the Snap-On man might not have even seen one, these are probably 8 yrs or so old.
Hell, I don't even have one and I formulated it!

I gotta have one then if they are that rare

Yeah, Pu241 is right, my Dad got those for my Mom probably 8-9 years ago for Christmas, we have both just took the picture of the one, she has never even used them.

^^Does he wanna sell????

Update Tom is on his way. I've beaten his car for 400 miles, and we will be going to the track on tomorrow. It'll have 600 or so miles on it before he leaves. I will post videos of his track runs and dyno pulls.

[eurotiva]

we are on our way to the drag strip. I'm posting this from my phone while in traffic. I'm driving casper and tom is smiling along in his new ride. I will ppost videos and times of both cars later...... I'm excited too.

Results

Ok we only got one pass tonite

Friday nights are terrible, and on top of that it was RV night. 10 or so 30 ft. RVs.?

We kept losing the festivas between rvs and thought they were gonna run over one...

Anyhow it was really close...............


Tom's B6 RT.
15.78 @ 88.13 mph.
2.6-60' ,terrible

Casper
15.56 @ 90.31
2.3-60' ok on street tires.


And mike (Flyin4stroke) showed up because he knew this would be his last night as fastest festiva at the track We played with his timing and tire pressures (Mike, any car will get good gas mileage with 56 psi in the tires !!!). After a little tweaking his car finally went back into the 13's second time ever. Good job Mike. He went 13.93 @ 103 mph


Tom's car ran great, and actually had 2 mph on casper in the 1/8th mile. Just with the difference in 60' times, Tom's car would be a little faster than casper.



Casper ran good. The clutch wouldn't let me stay on the gas during shifts. And the old 13's didn't hook very good. Only reason casper went faster (mph) was I didn't have to shift to 4th .


Both cars are capable of low 15's or possibly on a perfect night high 14's.

I'm glad with Tom's car and had some technical difficulties with the camera, so no videos. Sorry guys. Tom did get to see all three cars run. And I think he enjoyed it.

I do have a few pics and timeslips I'll post soon. Tom's now on the "fastest" list

And we are planning on going to the dyno tomorrow. This will tell which car (casper/Tom's) makes more power. And possibly might just might have euro ready......

"Tom's B6 RT. Casper

2.6 sec. 60' < terrible 2.3 sec. 60' <ok on street tires
15.78 @ 88.13 mph."

I think my stock NA B6 will do that. Ill check when the predicted foot of snow for tomorrow melts sometime in July.

Probably would. Both of these cars are low 15 second cars, but 1 pass didn't justify what they've got. I'll have more info on casper in the near future.



And if your b6 doesn't go as fast as that, just send it down here for a week or two.


Tom and I did some 45 mph roll-ons on the way and it was even...
