Can you not put loads of ice cubes on the top mount before taking your run? I'm sure I've seen that done before on Impreza's!
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

It depends how soon before I do the run that I can put them on, too early then they will melt and probably make the heatsoak worse.

Ice on the tmic would work, as would a spray as suggested by the rev.
Tbh i think it'll be a close-run thing, VNT means he's got a massive area under the curve, whereas the dt's power band will be more peaky. That difference will also make it harder for you to get the power down in the first three gears. Am i right in thinking cupra's came with traction control and lsd...? Or did they not do a diesel cupra for this gen...? Can't remember, either way he's going to find it a lot easier to get the power down. That's all marginal really though, as others have already said - the rest is going to come down to how well you can drive your respective cars.

This is an absolutely amazing idea and if you were on the road or a track day id say do it. However is santa pod see the water dripping under our car from melting ice they wont let you run. The surface at santa pod is not tarmac and once wet becomes like an ice rink.

From speaking to him today, I am 90% sure he's going to pull out anyway!
09-01-2013, 11:21 PM
Pfft tell him to man the f*ck up, I'd race you in my golf.
Well, if it wasn't in a million pieces now anyway. But seriously, I wanna know the result of this!
09-01-2013, 11:27 PM
The main reason he will pull out, is because he's scared of losing. Couple of people at work have put money on me winning! So he's getting worried.
Another person I wanted to race is my dad with his BMW 320d coupe, he thinks it's the fastest and best looking car in the world, but at 150hp and over 1300kg he wouldn't stand much chance i don't think.. But again he wont do it because he's scared of losing to a 15 year old rattly diesel..
09-01-2013, 11:36 PM
Scared of losing? What's the point playing then? Someone has to lose for another to win....obviously. Can't stand people that are all talk like that.... It's not like you'd be playing for pink slips lol.
09-01-2013, 11:39 PM
make up some bull about other people betting on him
big his ego up a bit, maybe say your best estimate is about 140 or something you gotta get him to do it anyway!

I have the same issue with people at work, keep talking about organising a track day for ourselves but I think they're scared I'll ra*e then once my new turbo is on.

Water spray on the intercooler? or buy an old bonnet and hack a hole into it for the run?
10-01-2013, 01:01 PM
Or run with no bonnet!? Be awesome, always wanted to try a car with no bonnet!
10-01-2013, 01:14 PM
Ha that could be a plan...
