even if tuned. you should take him.

 

youll have a better powerband but if hes willing to throw down cash i would be suspicious of his car

 

yea..im a little suspicious as well.

imma just tell him to do like 20 bucks..

and then if either of us win or lose it wont be as bad as losing the 200 bucks ahhaha

 

its a turbo car, should make some nice torque....at the focus sport dyno day it was alot of GTI's, vr6s, vr4, a few GLI's

here is the list haha
the top car is a GLI i believe

 

so, drivers race. -_-
fucked LOL

well..idk i dont think this guy is a good driver either LOL

idk..

he says his car is at the shop right now cause his "third gear is messing up"

idk..im not so worried..idk y lol
im more worried about the srt4 lol
i wont run the srt4

 

are u doing a roll or from a dig?

and whats done to the srt-4?

dont let the bad ass sound of the car scare u haha

2.4 turboed bastards haha with straight pipes

 

well if its gettin recorded it would b nice if you can see the race n not just perpetual darkness.

 

hahaha..
idk i think just intake and exhaust..

u know people..."im stock" bullshit! haha..

haha..i'll make sure i take a good camera LMFAO

u guys are welcome to go watch if u'd like hahaha..
idk where it'll be..i'd rather not go to that spot and crash into a wall like shaun said haha..

 

its makes the race start faster haha im stock honk 3xs whineeeeee

haha about the wall, my car is built like the mach 5 hydraulics at the push of a button

go speed goooooo

 

lol just gotta get that launch down

also..uhh...yea...
just gonna go on the bottle -_-

 

I have 2 good friends of mine since elementary school, who run lightly modded SRT-4's. I'm 100% stock and I pull on them hard 1st & 2nd (from a dig & roll) but once 3rd gear comes around they walk me.

I believe they have CAI, Stage 1/2 ECU, different turbo, exhaust, eh **** I can't remember, Injectors? Either way, modded vs. a lightly modded SRT-4 You should take him or have it be a close race. That's my experience I hope it helps. Drive err.. Race safe.

 

GLI's weigh 3300lbs. You should take him no matter what. Unless you totally suck at driving and he is good or has the DSG Trans.

Stock they put out 200hp/207tq.

APR offers a few upgrades for them, and the most that they seem to put out on stock turbo is around 280hp/325tq.

With a turbo swap, the possibilities are endless. And it'd be really hard for you to know if he swapped turbos... especially if he swapped to a European Audi S3 / VW Edition 30 GTI turbo. Then you are looking at 320hp/320tq (assuming he's using the shitty 91oct that you bozo's out in Cali have - 100oct or higher? Add 30hp/50tq)... and it will appear to be stock.

The 1.8T was put in the junk pile back in like 2004. Since then have come with a 2.0T.

 

I'd be suspicious of the GLI. U said he was scared but then wants to bet 200 bucks. He's done something w his car, no doubt. Idk about the srt4. Just make sure u know what they have done to their cars.

When in doubt... NNNAAAAAWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

falbz srt-4 is upgraded turbo with stage 1 mopar.

intake and exhaust.

hes close to 400 already.

hey i have a 1.8 T bite ur tongue! lol

 

Then they suck at driving... Plain and Simple. Stock vs Stock, the SRT-4 walks the Cobalt with ease (unless you have an LNF). Modded? No contest, SRT-4 wins.

In the OP's case... just race them and find out. Stock turbo on an SRT-4 is good until about 280-290whp. A decent bit of modification is needed for that though. Either way... you SHOULD give them a good run. Assuming you know how to drive worth a damn.

 

The 1.8T isn't that bad of a motor... I just like almost every other motor from VW though.

Mine:





Its a rough car. Real rough. I'm working on cleaning it up though.

 

old skool man. nice!

mine

03 vw gti 20th anniversary 1.8T 6 Speed

 

It is nice. Quick too! Needs A LOT of work. When I bought it, it had been sitting in a garage for 5 years already, because the guy lost his license. I love my VeeDub's though. Such fun cars. Old School is the way to go though. You should ditch the MK4 for a MK1 or MK2. I saw a sick ass MK1 Rabbit today. Race prepared. I want it so bad.

A few days ago, my GTI ran side by side with a 2010 MazdaSpeed 3, though.

I've got a Project Thread for it over on GM Sport Compact . Net... or you can find it on Vortex. I use the same S/N everywhere.

 

Haha, maybe I exaggerated when I said pulling on them HARD. I jumped ahead, stayed ahead, then got walked in 3rd. Every time. It always comes down to the driver mod in the end, and I agree it should be a good run either way.

 

sweet cool deal. this is pretty much my beater./ it has 140XXX miles. if the K03 goes out ill upgrade to K04. but thats it.

i think the cat is going out(loud rattles at startup, idle and low rpms. but goes away after) and i have an electrical problem. left running light keeps blowing fuses

 

Yeah, **** happens. Have you crawled under it and checked it out? Could be a heat shield rattling.

Also, MK4's = Kings of Electrical Problems.

When I destroyed my MK3 Jetta Beater... it was constantly blowing Rear Light Fuses. I couldn't figure it out... that's why I took it off-roading. I paid $300 for it, so I didn't really care. Especially after I sold it as a parts car for $300. WIN!

I dunno where to even start with your problem though. Checking your grounds would probably be the best place to start... but I honestly don't know. Check the back of the plug on the light... see if one of the wires is perhaps starting to come out.

 

i doubt they have any upgraded turboes..like i said..these kids are like 18-19..i doubt they have any serious mods done to their cars other than maybe basic bolt ons.

but we shall see..im down to race both of them and see what happens..

should be fun regardless.

 

def charged. woop their ass

its only the left side.

and im checking the cat today

 

when these races happening?

 

it should be going down a little further down this month joey.

like i said this GLI character is having "problems with his 3rd gear"
suuuuureeee
