Do you by any chance remember the engine code in the car? Or do you still have it? Interested, because I have a Octavia VRS and it's also diesel, so wondering how does it do with heat managment on the track. I'm planning on putting in a downpipe with cat only so there's less heat and restriction.
No, sorry, mate. Can't remember. Only thing I can say it was a 2015 model year, built beginning of 2015 (VIN WVWZZZAUZFW260524). I did around 55 laps on NoS with this car between July and November 2016 (as you can see it had to give everything) and never had any heat management issues. The car simply was too slow and had too little HP to get any problems with the heat management. ;) It was completely stock btw.
A bit hard-bitten or viscous to be honest. ;-) In the beginning I was positively surprised cause it went better than I had thought before. But in fact I'm feeling like missing 200 HP. ;-) Really annoying is that the gears don't fit. Whenever you shift (3.800, 4.200, 4.500, 5.000) you never have enough power in the next gear and fall into a big whole of nothing. You can see this very good if you watch the vids of my mate Lars who followed me for filming. Everytime I shifted up he nearly crashed into my rear. :-) And if you see the "speed" in Kesselchen, you nearly have to cry. ;-) But it is what it is and for a completely bone stock GTD with 184 HP, narrow rev bandwidth and slim wooden tires it is not that bad at all. I only wanted to try it once (and get back on track to get it usual again), it's not bound for track driving.
And to make it complete and give the honour to the car that belongs to him. ;-) I wathed this vid now first tim completely and was astonished how precise the car is to be driven: ruclips.net/video/mr3vTsIOZQE/видео.html
Nope. :-) Ich hatte einen .:R, den hab ich geschrottet. Jetzt fahre ich als all-day driver einen GTD und überlege, welches mein neues Tracktool werden soll. :-)

R hast du geschrottet stimmt. Aber war der R rein nur als tracktool? Ich überlege mir in nächster Zeit den neuen Leon Cupra zu holen. Mein BMW habe ich jetzt schon lange und das manuelle Getriebe nervt.
Nee, der .:R war tracktool und all-day. Aber der GTD taugt nicht zum tracktool, daher wird der immer ein all-day bleiben. Und für den Spaß brauche ich dann noch etwas anders ;-)

Gut, dass Du gleich wieder fährst nach dem Crash.
Sagt die Gattin auch. :-)
Ich hatte aber btw. überhaupt keine Angst...
+Maody66 Trotzdem wichtig. :-) viel Fahrspaß weiterhin.
Ja, ich wei. War mir auch genauso wichtig. Einfach zu sehen, dass es noch geht und alles ganz normal ist. :-) Danke Dir, dito!

How is it to drive?

Good write up, thanks Markus :-)

Is this your new car?
Actual all day driver. Not new track car.

Also du hast einen GTD und einen R? gediegene Runde wie immer.
Nope. :-) Ich hatte einen .:R, den hab ich geschrottet. Jetzt fahre ich als all-day driver einen GTD und überlege, welches mein neues Tracktool werden soll. :-)

Maody66 na dann gönn dir doch so ein m3 e46. Währe bestimmt ein gutes Tracktool only.
