Great work Grey VW, glad you had fun, videos and stories like these counts as victories for our cars.

Martin,
I'm glad you had a great time. Keep me posted on your next track day. Two white turbo festivas doing work on all the "real cars" sounds like the recipe for an awesome weekend!

IM JELLY!!! Car sounds good man!

I thought it sounded like a Honda. It was straight pipe + cutout lol

Yep. I'm pretty sure I'll be switching disciplines myself- Drag is great for benchmarking a car but the lack of corners and the whole 'drive fast for 10 seconds, then drive slow for 30 seconds and stand around shooting the poop for 45 minutes' kinda gets old. Unless we get a steady winning streak on; then we're getting paid to stand around and it's just like working for the city and it's not so bad.

Breaking trannies gets old too.

amazing looking car bro and Im glad you had fun hopefully Ill be ready for race season for this year because Im getting inspired too lol

Jealous... Very jealous! I am really wanting to go with a coilover setup on my car. Would you be willing to post more info on your suspension? What springs and what diameter are they? Do you have any part numbers? What kind of modifications to fit the struts to the car?

this is the writeup for the coil over set up and you can also get them from raceland and the spring rate is a bit lower but it looks like grey put a different rate springs on his setup.

I never want to go back to drag racing, taching out 4th twice each lap is way better banana time

Did you not rub those tires? They like pretty tight in there!

You can hear slight rubbing in the turn after the "cyclone" ( fast up and tight left).
That is the only spot that they rubbed in. The rims have offset for RWD so they stick out a bit. My fenders are rolled and pulled quite a bit as well.
