12.222 is an awesome time with ko3s!! Don't know much about NOS either but it certainly does the business!

Doesn't look like your boy is going to post the spec of his car though Julian :(

His post says 5k launch for an S4 though :thumbs:

your boy
Aaaarrrggghh! Not more bleedin' maintenance to pay!! I demand a DNA test - and i'm NOT going on that bloody Jeremy Kyle show either ... :lol:

Seems to be 2 trains of thought on this - the 3.5k launch and the 5k launch ...

I'm still working up the courage to find a private and discrete stretch of road to try a few 3.5k's first ... if i get the hang of that (and don't break the thing) then i'll try a 5k ...

Easy to test your launch: Wet, greasy B road, ESP off

I think the trick is in having the right rev so that when the wheels stop spinning, the revs are 4k + It will then fly to the redline.

Hope I don't get busted for double posting, but this really needs drumming up IMO:

So much talk of another 'Pod session but so little take up for the club stand at GTI International next weekend?

http://www.gtiinternational.co.uk/

http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ic&t=61040

Sat 16th and Sun 17th JUNE - central location.

THE Audi and VW event of the year! ANY of the tuners/traders worth mentioning will be there and the sprint action will be awesome.

Sprint sessions, trade stands, club stands, car sales, auto jumble, tyre testing course - a perfect day out for the VAG petrol head. Your chance to see and talk to owners, tuners, traders and maybe even pick up a special offer or two or that spare part you have been after.

Come on guys, this is one date not to miss, get signed up, I think the club stand cut off is only a few days time (PhilT can you confirm?).
