Hi

Good work getting the GL word out there, so the December 09 issue is already in print and its still October, our local department stores already have Christmas decorations up.

Steve

WAY TO GO WALLY....
Will need to go buy that and Send it to you for your autograph :D lol

Chris

Congrats Wally. We love it when one of or fellow GLers gets some press.

Congrats Wally! It´s about time! I´m going to have to go out and buy a copy now!

Just so you guys don't worry too much, the issue probably won't be available just yet, but keep your eyes peeled. I have a digital subscription so basically I get it as soon as it's done.

Jason

Contrats Wally !

Looks like you owe us all a beer now ... :D

Sandeep

hehe, you're all very welcome to pick it up at the entrence of the Nurburgring around the end of September next year :D
I'll even make it a 'weizenbier' :cool:

I got my subscription copy at the beginning of the week... Well done Wally!

Congrats Wally,

I'll head down to the bookstore and buy a copy........ :D

Pete

Congrats and not a bad pic either! I'll have to pic one up when I'm in town.

Very cool, congrats!

and again this month!

Really?
On what occasion? or event perhaps?

(must get some Volksworld back issues when they have become back issue :D)

Just spotted the second pic in the same VW Action report. Both really good pics, one from front doing a smokey burnout, the other from the rear at the start line with 'Santa Pod' gantry over the car...

Very cool to hear! Must really get that issue ;)
Tnx for letting me know Rich.

He's like a star!!!!

Jason

...in a 'reasonably priced car' :-) (a la TopGear)

Many thanks for posting Jason! made my day :D

I like how you can see the camber on the rear is spot on for drag racing!

Fierce 1303 :D That´s an ego booster,but well deserved!

Way to go Buddy... and Nice pics to
just Keep Plugging the GL Name ;) for the Magazines...


Chris.

Of course :D

Yeah Mark I agree, that 'fierce 1303' quote is priceless :)
Next year I must make them call the car 'feroscious' or s/th :lmao:

The fierce mythbuster or the fierosciuos mythbuster :lmao:

Dude, my knowledge of the english language goes only so far...:o :lmao:

Now that I looked at it again - I spelled it wrong also :lmao: ...fieroscious? No wonder they don´t use it often :lmao:

wow what a celebrity - splashed all over the magazines! well done fella :)

F E R O C I O U S - (shus) a. Fierce, cruel; (L Ferox) :rolleyes:

Well, I guess it doesn't stop there either: this was from the VW Action report in december Ultra VW:

WOW Wally you are quite the GL STAR ;)

good job

Chris.

Hi

I really envy you being able to travel to different countries to experience a VW race meeting, I live on an island with no bordering countries. When I win the lottery I going to do a world tour with my bug and take in all the VW shows around the world.

Steve

You you're right Clive. I purposely try to get the most out of it (life) as you never know when its over.
In the meantime, as long as you havn't won the lottery, you can always crash at my place when your 'around' ;)

Thanks Wally, I much appreciate the offer. (BTW I have terrible luck with the lottery- I nearly won a share of the E100M prize a couple of weeks ago but I didn't have a single number!)
Clive

He's on YouTube too!

Wally VS the ricer

Jason

Cool find Jason!, I've never seen this particular vid before myself!

The driver from that civic is actually a very nice guy ;)
Its not only supercharged, but he uses NOS injection as an intercooler as well. Using NOS like that I think is a very good idea, which I like to investigate some more. He had about 350-375 hp there.

Thanks!

Fried rice....tasty! :D The technology that the ricers use is something to look at closely.They get some serious power out of those little engines.Of course, it doesn´t do much good with front wheel drive - it´s like doing the 100m sprint on your hands. :D
NOS injection for the intercooler is very effective,but expensive.C0² is just as effective,cheaper and kills the envirionment just as good.So if used,only if there is no possibility of beeing inhaled.The good thing is,it will not burn.However,refills are not possible everywhere, whether it´s nitrous or any other substance that has to be under pressure.I think water/methanol or only methanol injection would be more practicle than spraying the intercooler from the outside.For drag racing I would use plain water to spray the intercooler and water/methanol injected in the manifold.

Hey Mark,

I may have explained it wrongly: he doesn't spray it ON the intercooler, but he sprays it 'dry' so to speak IN the inlet tract, so without extra fuel.
Probably it works like waterinjection that way?
I don't completely understand yet how and what exactly, but as I said above, I sure will investigate this ;-).

If he sprays it in dry,depending on the amount of course is a bit on the risky side.A lot of ricers use Nos and insane amounts of boost.To get that 10ths less on the ET is important to some,but I wouldn´t recommend it if you´re depending the car to get you home from the track.So he may be using it not only as a cooling agent,but also to get even higher cylinder pressure.I would rather inject methanol it´s safer and cheaper.Or run E85 and crank up the boost some more and use methanol injection.Methanol and Ethanol have a very similar density.That GT3076 will take you past 2 bar..:rockon: GO GET `EM WALLY!!
