fun doesn't have to be fast , look at the MX5

Exactly right. I guess I have just tried to inject fun into my previous VAGs by adding loads of power etc to make them exciting

The real thrill on the Mk II vRS is never knowing when it might go horribly wrong on you

I managed to run a 14.7 @ 93mph, 0-60ft in 2.3 secs and 0-60 in 6.6 on York raceway earlier on in the summer. I was quite impressed considering my cars completely standard and they're supposed to run a 15.3 i think!  

thats pretty good, nice to back up the fact that most standard cars that have been timed on the strip give 0-60 at about 6.5 seconds 14.7 is not bad at all

I ran a 14.55 at Santa Pod yesterday with a terminal speed of 94.64 MPH , running standard power with Avon ZZ5 front tyres and coilovers. 0-60ft 2.28secs.

14.55 with standard power? bloody hell, thats good! is it a CTHE engine?

I swear the CTHE in my new one puts out as much power as my old CAVE with a tuning box! (200bhp) would like to see some standard CTHE's on the RR!

 

engine in the updated polo GTI is suppised to be 190+ bhp....

Maybe we should organise a rolling road meet? Then we can see the difference in the cave and cthe.. (If any)

That sounds like a plan before i start with the mods!

this is my old CAVE with TMC box on 7 ... circa 200 bhp from 5k on.... which was cool , because when you change up at 7k it drops to 5k, so really 200bhp ALL THE TIME when on full throttle

I will not be surprised if a Standard CTHE on 99 ron does not exceed the figure of 189 bhp that they are giving for Manual Polo GTI's from 2015

 

Is there still no news of anyone having had a CTHE ECU re-mapped?

Neither would I ! they never updated the CO2 output of the CTHE with skoda, like they did with seat either..... I did 50k in the CAVE , about 20k of that with the TMC box...... I can tell the difference, I'm sure the CTHE is as quick standard as the tuning box CAVE was... (198bhp as shown on the graph) Thats why all my mods on the CTHE so far has been chassis... when I'm breezing past impreza's and clio 197's on the track, I know I have enough straight line speed.....

 

havent seen a standard RR on the CTHE yet George! , maybe I'll have to make the effort and get mine on there! lol...

I havnt seen any figures but driven the CTHE Estate, Hatch,  Ibiza CTHE,  & old Polo and A1 185 PS.

& a few various vRS CAVE cars.

 

CTHE Estate was faster than the hatch, but the hatch was a bad one.

The CTHE Estate felt just like a 210 bhp Stage 1 CAVE.

Im running Nitro plus atm with mine, they definitely have the straight line speed not really pushed it round a track yet but will see how it goes..

*cough H&R RARB, eibachs...

oh and brakes.... I destroyed mine at oulton park after learning how to trail brake from an instructor...(you should have seen the techs face at skoda as he changed my destroyed (in 11k) standard pads for yellowstuff ones..) "what did you do to them?! " he said! lol...

vRS-Mati,  maybe once you have it on the rolling road try 102 ron, or take a drum with you.

I used 102 when in europe (going to czech with brisky in 2012!) and it loved it! felt more alive... shame we dont have it much here :(

Hiperflo 250.  cheaper than going to a football match! & much cheaper than to the Opera.

bump.

OMG, yes hahah, pre-combe race fuel order, I like it George.

 

Sadly I don't see myself going for any drag strip action, it somehow feels mechanically not very sympathetic.

For another new Briskoda member asking about tuning a Twincharger..

& anyone else really..

Seat 1.4tsi with some go.
