Personal Best Times
Aintree - 2.53 / 50.75 (April 2014)
Anglesey National Double Lap - 60.42/124.05 (June 2014)
Anglesey GP Single Lap - 102.46 (2012), 112.70 v.wet (June 2014)
Curborough Single Lap - 2.59 / 35.82 (2010)
Curborough Double Lap - 64.16 (think it was 2007)

Loton Park - 2.61 / 25.04 / 62.93 (2007)
Only time I have drag raced it was GTI International in 2012. 0-60 5.28, 1/4 mile 13.89. Lots of wheelspin, 2-degrees negative camber not helping as left set up as used normally for sprint events.
-
amazing spec matey! Like the 4 branch :)
-
Wow! ;D Is this still road legal?
-
I'm not seeing a tax disc or indicators.. and the way it's cammed I guess not
-
It was road legal until this year, as I didn't have a trailer. 10 years of driving to events, the last year with a sequential gearbox. Enough was enough. Its the gearbox which made it horrible on the road, not the engine which is very tractable and built for mid range rather than top end really. So in the end I bought a trailer. Its great and has really improved the weekend race experience. Much more relaxing and not crapping yourself all the time thinking something might fail.
So as I didn't need it road legal anymore, I took the lights out to site some brake ducts. Add the lights back, it would pass an MOT.

Great pics Rob...thanks for those and the comprehensive spec/history. 8)
-
Just noticed an error - it has a Custom Cages cage, not Safety Devices
-
Rob, I take it the ceramic coating is instead of heat wrapping? What other advantages does it offer/have you experienced?
Tim
-
Yep, its instead of heat wrapping, which doesn't last long in my experience before turning to dust and dropping off. The ceramic coating lasts for years, and doesn't attack your skin also when working near it.
-
realy nice car rob! and a amazing engine;)
-
Great thread Rob, nice to see you over here. I do love this car.
-
Cheers bud - come over here occasionally, but not as much as I should - good crowd!
-
Went to Aintree yesterday - new personal best 50.75 secs.
Especially gratifying since I did not compete last year, have been trying to crack 51 secs for ages, and also the weather looked like it was going to rain at any point. Improved with every run through the day and went into the class lead with the last run, only to be pipped by last years overall champ Andy Larton in his very special 106.
Still, coming second when you beat your PB by almost 3 tenths is not so bad.
Car felt lovely - suspension work has gone well I think, and there is definitely another half second to be had now, maybe even a 49-something, which is something I never thought I would get to.
Marvellous.
New front brakes have changed the brake bias a bit and locked the rears a couple times so need to look into reducing rear line pressure some more, as my bias valve is maxed out now. Suggestions if anyone has them please. Could shave down the rear pad area if push comes to shove.
Cheers
Rob
-
Good news then. Was it a case of blowing the dust off the car after last year's mods and taking it out, or did you have a lot of work to do to get it there?
Is Andy Larton a relative of Ernie Larton, of Talbot Samba tuning fame?
-
Did quite a few mods last year, went testing a couple times over winter to check things over, then just serviced it and out we went. Very pleased with results as the car was very driveable and theres no question there is more time to be had again once i get my eye in.
Ernie was there on Sat also - Andy's dad. I nearly bought a 205 off him years ago before i had my ibiza.
-
Thought it might be - kind of a natural progression to move on to the later models from the (t)rusty Samba.
-
PBs updated - two more so far this year, and would have been three had it not tipped it down on day of Anglesey International. Car is going better than ever.
And it will be for sale after final events of the year - so get yourself one of the most successful VAG sprint cars in the UK!!!
Cheers
Rob

Ok, so just bought this, impulse buy :)

So my Ibiza is now officially for sale for £12,995.00, which is a bargain considering the specification and pedigree. Specifications are at the start of this thread. Proven Championship winning race package well developed over last 10 years into a very quick hatchback. If you want to win MSA sprint races in Modified Series Production 1400-2000cc, this will get you there. :thumbup:
-
Nice, hope you keep adding updates on here for the Radical, I would really lilt to know how you get on with it.
-
Awesome Rob!....apart from Kate Beckinsdale I badly want one!
Keep the info coming Rob...race news, video's, anything.
Plus Im sure you'll still contribute anything VAG in here.
-
Hi folks - well have sold the Radical after 3 eventful years - learnt a lot, got some great photos, broke some records, got some plastic trophies LOL.
Was going to hang up my racing boots, but have started thinking about a VAG again.
Not going quite so full on this time and needs to stay road legal as I am done with trailering.
Anyone know of any good Road Modified cars for sale?
Cheers
Rob
