Both decent builds there, and a decent race. Very similar power and under 150kgs between them, looked like the better driver won, lad in the golf was letting it fall out of boost on every launch.

Built by me working on a main road 😂, loads of one off parts. 300+hp 600+nm in a front wheel drive derv is hilarious.

I loved the PD's. CRs were more refined but nothing beats the unbelievably sudden nature of a unit injectors responsiveness. I just went back to a diesel again all these years after a PD and it's just a technological nightmare of bolt on crap and soot that contaminates the oil. The PDs weren't refined, they weren't technically the most economical but I found that they closest matched the published figures but boy are they durable and tunable! MK2 Fabia vRS was unbelievably unreliable with the twincharger TSI 😢

[@gkgameplaycz]

I had a 85kW PD blow a head gasked only by tuning it to 96kW with everything being stock. Wouldn't call that reliable, since a bosch-pump TDI can handle that power increase no problem

[@psions555]

@@gkgameplayczhonestly, I would just say you had bad luck or that things were heading that way anyway. People even tuned the 1.4 PD that they put in the Audi A2 and the SKODA Fabia, essentially 1 cylinder lopped off. Their bottom end bearings or even the entire side of the casing could blow out from a remap. There are many iterations of the PD. So many different engine codes. Some with different turbos and some that probably deal with extra stress better than others

[@gkgameplaycz]

@@psions555 it was (still is) a BVK

[@psions555]

@@gkgameplaycz My own personal experience was remapping my Octavia Elegance DSG estate which while being a high end model it got paired with the 105ps PD rather than the 2.0 140/170CRs available. With just a remap and no modifications it went to about 145BHP and 250 lb/ft. It certainly perked it up because 105ps was not much for a car like that. Paired with the DSG it certainly surprised me! When warm the smoothness was really good.

[@LeeXRV]

Yeah agreed, not only does it look bad, I always feel torn about these things as they are putting out a ridiculous level of toxic gasses. I'm a complete petrol head but struggle to accept these things should be on the road. I followed one a few months ago on my motorbike and it was awful as it went through the busy town centre where there were lots of kids walking home and making folk breath in that crap isn't on in my book. I overtook the VRS as soon as the road opened up rather than sit behind it any longer, although I got an extra soot covering as the driver decided to try and block my overtake by flooring it.

[@paulpalmer8235]

@@LeeXRV 100% agree with you there

[@VdubK]

​@Lee what a wanker, pretty sure he'd get done for obstruction/dangerous driving for speeding up when someone is overtaking, I only done that once as I slowed down a tiny bit to show my kids some Christmas lights and some dick in a Fiesta tried overtaking me just as I was speeding up, I couldn't take the embarrassment of being overtaken by a bog standard non ST model Fez 😂 not just that but he was doing it in a knob way driving right up to my bumper then pulling out, well deserved I think. Anyway, I agree with your comment about the environment, I to am a petrol head but seeing all that smoke as you say going through built up areas with kids is horrendous, it's just as bad as driving 60+ in a 30mph zone in my books, well said.

[@eimantasme]

Can you not get a fiesta st on the Channel against a similar powered pd130? I have a 380hp fiesta st - big turbo, stage 2 Newman cams and the hpfp lobe. Would be good to see it against a similar powered pd.

There is no way that Golf is 150 kg lighter than the Fabia, considering that both have similar weight reduction done.. 150kg heavier sounds more realistic.

[@MrFlazz99]

Not sure if the Golf would have weighed only 1100kg unless it was stripped out (and it doesn't look like that), so if anything I would have put the power-to-weight advantage on the Fabia. Good honest racing and great to see some oil-burners for a change. As for possible porkies with the power figures, the league table seems to bear out the claims.

[@ShirixaeNaEoshahn]

i think Golf was poorly tuned or measured on dyno. And it's definitely heavier if you measure it with driver inside vs fabia and her driver.

I think the difference here was power to weight. The GTI weight 1240kg standard there's no way he removed 140kg by removing the rear seats. The fabia is below 1200kg standard with the same weight reduction. Not to mention drivers. Good race either way.

[@erikturner3866]

The fabia is running more power than what the owner states it is😅 the golf is slightly lighter as the fabias weigh around 1350kg

[@LeeXRV]

I think the GT TDI is a fair bit heavier than the GTI as well.

[@jonytube]

​@@LeeXRV and the rear seats weigh below 40kg, tops. I own a 3dr mk4 and there's not much in the way of dead weight on the interior, she's just a heavy platform.

[@LeeXRV]

@@jonytube I agree, I always thought it was a great design and the PD engines seem to run forever but light they are not. It’s actually very difficult to get a platform of that age/size down to 1100kg. I used to have a track setup Impreza of around the same age and always tried to save weight and although some savings were possible it wasn’t easy to save anything like 100kg+ without fairly drastic changes.
