Audi TT-RS. Only slightly quicker than a 1.9 diesel - VIDEO

Had a little timed fun track based event on Saturday. This was the final leaderboard after an hour of practise. Just 0.15 behind the TT-RS. Then it pulled its finger out for the 2 timed fast laps, and beat me by 1 second. Still.... I would expect a TT-RS to kick my ass normally, so I was chuffed to get my little Skoda that close to it.

Practise times as below

Timed laps (I improved on my best in the 1 hour of practise, so was happy!) Sorry image is so big. Also, Nissan 370Z? What Nissan 370Z?

Good to give the old girl a good kicking! And there is still plenty to come from my turbo (still running old mapping & needs fettling) and some other parts to get fitted.

Wow. Lots of Skodas out there. Good job BTW. Picture size not an issue at all. I wish most uploaded pics were this clear.

It was a predominantly Skoda club booked day, but due to us not filling all the spots, we had the TT-RS as a "guest" - The 370Z was already pre-invited as a "guest" of one of the Skoda club members. Was a nice purposeful looking car, but not quite as fast as a little 1.9 diesel hot hatch.

Me heading out for more lapping!

Good job Jason! Tough those times dont say much about how fast those cars are, its all about the driver in them..

I have smoked E46 M3s and even 996 Porsches, thats fun but the drivers drives like grandmother.

I was not driving like a grandmother. Whilst I am no "The Stig!" I do like to peddle my car around as fast as I think it will let me. This was one tyre after I had finished

TheoSweden · Jun 2, 2013

Yeah I bet you did a really great job! That picture look expensive

My wallet was not happy last time I bought Avon semislicks in 225/45-17

devonutopia · Jun 2, 2013

Only one tyre gone, but I will probably buy a new pair and just cycle the other 3 around the back. I might even (depending on the type of day) have a go at putting the worn tyre so the opposite shoulder gets worn out. Probably best to just chuck it though.

Mikkijayne · Jun 2, 2013

Looks like you had a lot of fun

What compound are you running?

devonutopia · Jun 2, 2013

They "were" hard compound. Updates first post with a picture of the results of fastest laps in the 1 hour of practise. I forgot to add the TT did the same event at 8am, so had already plenty of practise under his belt.

The control has been OK, but I still need to do the last stopscrew bit of adjusting you mentioned.

On track, as long as I kept it above 2500 revs, the car had great power. And I was watching the gauge (where I could) and it was holding 2.3 bar dead on pretty much to the redline, with a small amount of peak boost when getting on the throttle of 2.5 bar, but only for a fraction of a second. Was a bit smokey but that could be down to my "poor cold start, light throttle smoke" issue

Tires and mods done to the TT ?

devonutopia · Jun 3, 2013

Audi TT looked stock - but it had huge RS brakes and sounded like a jet fighter going down the pit straight. Very cool car.

LNXGUY · Jun 3, 2013

Driver in the TT-RS must have not been very experienced, he should have absolutely destroyed you, lol.

moivw · Jun 3, 2013

if it is stocks 340hp, performances will be about the same

loudspl · Jun 3, 2013

Jason I would imagine that TT-RS is maybe less portly?

360bhp stock with only 1497kg. to move. ~4 sec. 0-97km/hr. That's if he was stock..

He probably has less lag than you too. TT-RS has 465nM @ only 1650rpm!

So I would say you did quite well!

ryanp · Jun 4, 2013

Fix the injectors, run 2.8bar boost and you will kill him next time!!!

Rub87 · Jun 4, 2013

most of the drivers can't drive or can drive, but like a pussy..

I also took one on Zolder with a miata with just 220hp and 200 Nm at the crank

in the end the TT guy said the brakes and the tyres sucked blablabla

Work in progress. Have a feeling the injectors thing will involve the purchase of some Firad 120s

, but need to save some cash. $$$$

not only him, also the headgasket, and pistons probaly too after a while

ryanp · Jun 4, 2013

hopefully he blames the tuner! haha

I normally get the blame regardless!

I'm sure it will be fine.

I've never had headlift or temp issues that seem to suggest I could be killing pistons. You never know though

Everyone needs their scapegoat. By the way, your slightly modified exhaust is doing a fine job. It's not quite looking the same as you sent it though.

Looking back I should have just asked for the component parts and got the place that modified it to build it. C'est la vie!

If anyone is interested, here's a video of my flying laps (including a warm up lap)

Anybody wana see cracked ARL pistons

ryanp · Jun 5, 2013

those were killed by the Meth?

Bobby Singh · Jun 5, 2013

Not sure to be honest over the years the car had 40deg duration for 20k
Water meth for about 3k
R783's with 2260 @ 265hp 5 to 10k

So take your pick lol

It would be interesting to lift the head of a PD with 300hp on x duration just to see what the condition of the pistons are like. But again all depends on how the car is driven

ryanp · Jun 5, 2013

the 4 motion looked perfect when we stripped it but did maybe 500miles racing and dyno before we stripped it down. Dans ibiza has had stock injectors @ 40degrees for a long time, 80%'s at 35deg and 40deg and now 120%'s at 36deg i think with NOS, maybe a little more and has had aabout 5k of death! haha

Bobby Singh · Jun 5, 2013

The car actually ran fine - but Im sure the crack would have broken the piston completely at some point.

Car was doing 2k a month - daily drive

Pistons:

I don't know about the other three but that one looks pretty short on tread anyways, damage aside. Looks like a lot of fun.
