We at TDISport have been meaning to create a club calendar for a good few years now, but always leave it too late before we remember to put a plan into action…. So…. this year we are on the ball very early on.

The rules are:

2 Pictures per person, you can swap them over the course of the year if you find better ones.
You must have the original Raw file or high quality picture (it cannot be low quality/small, cannot have been taken from a low quality camera phone).

Attach the files within this topic or more preferably link to them in your members cars topic.

Vauxhall Corsa

The Vauxhall Corsa is currently setting the standards for all other small cars to follow. It has all the hallmarks of Vauxhall’s new design ethos, with styling masterminded by Niels Loeb and Mark Adam’s designteam. Add to this all of the attributes you’d want from a small car: fuel economy, low road tax, lesser insurance groups, and you have a formula for a market leading small car.

The driveability of the new Corsa has come a long way. The improved chassis makes for good handling, and the EPS power steering is precise and full of feel. The steering system is a highlight of the new Corsa, designed for advanced driveability – it has just the right amounts of feedback and assistance in the right areas.

The amount of kit available in the new Corsa is also eye catching. If you’re a music fan, you may be tempted by the 7 loudspeakers and a multimedia screen connectable to your iPod or iPhone.There are numerous
editions of the Corsa available – the Expression, Exclusive, Excite, SXi, SE, Sri and VXR.

The price range for the Corsa rightly suggests a universal appeal. Entrylevel prices are £8,995 for the 1.0 litre petrol edition, whilst those looking for a hot hatch may look towards the Nurburging edition at around £22,000. The Nurburging is a specification that lies in Clio Sport territory: a superpower car not burdened by weight or size. The
Nurburging will do 0-60 in an earth shattering 6.5 seconds.

For the more practical driver, the CDTi ecoFlex models will have great appeal. EcoFLEX is Vauxhall’s fuel economical brand and offers a range of diesel engines that appear just the right size.  The 1.3 CDTi is fuel economy at its peak, whilst the 1.7 CDTi is only slightly thirstier but also delivers power where needed: a real all-rounder.

The new Corsa is a leader in its class and looks set to project the famous brand to new levels. Even if you are looking to buy a used vauxhall corsa you can pick them up cheap and still in great condition.

TDISport are pleased to announce a deal has been struck with “DPF Delete”, a company specialisiing in the removal of Diesel Particulate Filters on diesel cars.

DPF’s are fitted to most modern diesel cars, They are designed to reduce pollution and can work effectively in the correct conditions i.e. regular motorway driving etc…

However for the majority of drivers they can cause a lot of problem. Short journeys and town driving can result in regenerations being missed, premature blocking of the DPF and can lead to expensive repair bills.

Once the DPF is blocked it must be replaced and quite often if the same driving patterns are followed the new filter will block again and the cycle goes on and on….. Spending £££’s to replace the filter is not always a viable option for vehicle owners thus the removal is a more cost effective option.

The TDISport Diesel Devil, promoting the devils fuel and the TDISport diesel car club is now available from the clubs online store:
TDISport Online Shop

The sticker is 5″ in height and is made from cut vinyl, meaning this is a completely border-less sticker.  Priced at just £2.50.

TDISport are very pleased to unveil their new site logo.
The “TDISport Diesel Devil”, will be the new mascot of the TDISport car club and will be featured in numerous places all over the website and forum.
It will be featured at the shows and will have its own dedicated sticker range. – Keep your eyes peeled.

The design came about from the saying “Diesel is the devils fuel”, so after a few weeks of using photoshop the new logo was born.

The TDISport are proud to announce that they have re-claimed the GTI International best club stand award for 2011. Despite a poor start to the show on the Saturday with a very limited turnout and terrible weather the show improved drastically for the Sunday, the sun was shining and the TDISport members were out in force (Even those who got married just the day before!).

The club displayed the same stand that narrowly missed out to the Ibiza Owners Club the previous year and was able to take the award back, which we previously won in 2009. We are sure Ibiza OC will be aiming to take the trophy next year.

TDISports Rolling Road Day held at the CCTuning headquarters was a great success.

There was a record number of members who made the journey to the dyno. To which TDISport would like to thank each and everyone of you! Videos were taken of the majority of the cars running and will be uploaded onto the official YouTube channel shortly. The great turnout was matched by the great weather on the day,next time we will arrange a BBQ and a bit of entertainment so people do not get bored of waiting/watching.

We will also sort out a proper running order for the rolling road, so we all know who is running and when.

All in all….. a great day, the thread on the forum can be found here:

TDISport will be holding a Rolling Road day at the CCTuning headquarters in Burton Upon Trent, DE14 2DS on the 1st May (the long bank holiday weekend).
Everyone is welcome, but please put your name down on the list which can be found here:
TDISport Rolling Road Thread

The session will consist of 3 rolling road runs per car, along with an accurate print out of each stating the power made from your car. The cost is just £30 for the whole day, but no charge if you wish to pop along, show your support or even decide to run later on in the day.
This will be our third rolling road day to be held at CCTuning and are aiming to make this the biggest and best turnout yet. As with before all runs will be uploaded onto the TDISport youtube channel (unless you wish us not to), the pictures and write-up from the day will be sent to a couple of magazines for them to use as editorial, both in paper in the magazine and online.

People wishing to make use of the CCTuning special offer of discounted remaps to all TDISport members can make use of this opportunity at the end of the rolling road session, with power runs on the dyno from before and after the tuning session, along with a print-out.
