    45 cetane in central Virginia

    I sold the TDI so I don't come on here much anymore and I am no longer seeking quality diesel for anything but the F350 PSD that I borrow occasionally. Would someone like to take over the list in the original post?

    45 cetane in central Virginia

    Thank you sir, and... we'll see. Advertised at $20k, several really interested people but no commitments yet. Thought a one owner, always garaged, 16k-mile car would go quickly but I guess not... luckily I'm in no hurry.

    I was there today also, filling mine up probably for the last time (it's for sale.) No power washing, luckily.

    Weird New Race Type?

    +1. Also, although not quite as exotic as ALMS, there is some great - and remarkably similar in many ways - racing going on with Grand-Am these days. http://www.grand-am.com .... yes it is sorta NASCAR-owned, and yes the cars are generally slower/cheaper than their ALMS equivalents, and yes...

    need help classifying TDI

    How to do it? Submit your numbers via email. Or, I'm guessing you mean how as in what's the formula? It belongs to NASA national and isn't shared. I'm actually not the one who invented (or has direct access to) it, I just facilitate the inquiries for NASA-X custom base classing... contact Greg...

    need help classifying TDI

    Unlisted cars must be custom base classed. You'd need to file a Dynojet sheet and "competition ready" minimum weight with driver. Once a new base class is assigned, you only take points for non-power items (i.e. suspension & tires.) E can be pretty competitive. It would be cool to see how the...

    need help classifying TDI

    True. With NASA it would then need to be custom base classed by power-to-weight, and probably wouldn't end up in much higher of a class. See section 1.5 at http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/nasa-x_classes.pdf

    Weird New Race Type?

    Drive 11 hours south and you can watch those very same Audi R18's race for 1000 miles this coming Saturday. I highly recommend checking it out. ;) http://americanlemans.com/primary1.php?cat=news|16308 http://www.roadatlanta.com/ev_petit/2011/ALMS-Petit-Entry-List.pdf

    Parade Lap @ Laguna Seca!

    Nice, Laguna is beautiful! Sounds like your next step should be one of these, so you can actually go somewhat fast. :D

    45 cetane in central Virginia

    Put the first tank of B5 through mine with no issues, from the Sunoco in Mt Gilead OH (mentioned here.) Power and mpg seemed a bit down, and the engine was definitely noisier... compared to the 47 cetane BP the car had in it before and after that tank of B5 anyway. Would buy again, but wouldn't...

    2010 Golf TDI - How much should I pay?

    Where are you getting these numbers? A no-options 2dr/3-pedal 2012 Golf TDI appears to be $24,765 on the VW website. And $19k would be well below any commonly available book value for a '10 with reasonable mileage. These cars are in demand and seem to hold their value. Good for sellers, bad for...

    Chump Car series startup

    We're probably done until Chumpcar comes back to VIR next year, but the Jetta may be raced and/or time trialed with NASA Mid-Atlantic in the meantime. It just needs better suspension, less understeer, and more Hoosiers ;)
