kinda?


Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.

I guess everyone has bad days, I just beat a Scion tc (only mod I now for sure was a muffler).
We were next to each other at a light and when the light turned green I went like normal, then he looks over and floors it then I floor it.

The odd thing is my Corolla went through gears faster. I guess it goes to show that what kind of driver you are does matter (a good driver would have beat me). I was going to redline and shifting and my shifting was faster and smother than his. (this because the advice on here, and practice)

And now all I can say is if I've gotten this good with my rolla I really want a tc, or anything with more power!




Mac and iPhone/iPod help!

Funny story!
I was on my way home one night really late. I was tired and really just wanted to go home. 2 guys on a Civic Del Sol pull up and waive a 20 dollar bill and rev their engine to race.
I didnt want to at first, but they kept bugging, so I revved up my engine and waived a 100 dollar bill instead of a 20. They agreed.
From the start I launch on em with ease, by the time I am in 3rd they are 2 cars back anyway, than I see their car bobbing up and down from a miss shift way in the distance behind me. I finish at the Red light and wait for them. They got scared and ran a red and made an illegal U-turn. Guesss they didnt want to pay or were embarrassed.
Anyhow, as soon as they did that, a cop appeared and chased after them, and I drove home laughing, but without a 100 bucks!

Hey guys well I dont post much but yeah
I had a 06 mazda 6(in profile) wrecked it got a 94 Integra LS threw on I/H/E/GSR tranny/Stage 1 clutch/7 pound flywheel and strip half the car.

Well I was out 2 weekends ago messing around and this TC wanted to race we did a roll and from a dig I won we pull over he had a intake and exhaust, nice car.
later that night another tc and a newer XB raced me and I won.

They all couldnt believe I wasnt vtec lol, then I was driving my friends SOHC civic with I/H/E and smahed a older XB and stayed with a tc but the guy missed 3rd .

Held dead even with a new GTI racing a Chevry 2500 turbo diesel. Funny thing is, I wasn't pegging my gas pedal the whole way either. Not really impressed with the GTI turbo.

the new ones can be quick with a little work to it. a friend of mine has one. he has a chip, exhaust, and front mount. his car isn't all that much slower than mine. another friend of mine has a 20th aniversary with just a couple little things running mid 14's.

This one had a nice, quiet exhaust (from what I could see/hear) and must have been stock otherwise. The trunk and GTI just seemed to not really have much "umph" but yet you could see the black smoke come from the diesel as he was flooring it and a puff from the GTI.

Yeah, VW is known for having tweaks that can make a great amount of power....same like Audi. Chips and slight turbo adjustments are amazing on those cars.

hahahahahahaha

It's not a 1.8T....it's the 2.0T

Granted...it's 200 hp production power sucks for a "turbo" vehicle, but like was said above, with very few mods they become very quick.

yeah all of those german cars can show a night and day difference with little mods. i use to have a vr6 passat automatic. full leather interior, 6 disk changer all the good stuff. only thing that sucked was it was an automatic with leather interior. i just had an intake that i made for it, an exhaust shop made me a 2.5" exhaust with magnaflow muffler, and an eip tuning chip.

i raced a celica gts in it one night with a cd stand in the trunk. i knew the guy with the celica. he had header back exhaust, intake, a pulley kit, along with a clutch and flywheel upgrade. he only pulled on me by 1 car in a 1/4 mile from a roll.

i ran it at the track once just to see what it would do. even with holding the brake and hitting the gas on the line to stahl it up it still would only pull a best 60' of 2.6 seconds. horrible. but it still ran a 16.2@87mph. so really if it would have pulled atleast a half second faster 60' then it would have been a mid to low 15 second full leather interior car.

you wanna see another german car that responds well to mods. check out some audi s4 tt's. those things can be very fast with little mods. only thing is they are expensive as hell to work on. my friend with the 20th anniversary golf runs around with a guy who has an s4 pushing over 500hp. he said just in the exhaust work alone he has over 3grand. so they aren't cheap.

I lost faith in vdub, Im such an old skool vdub freak i even got a VW tattoo on my left arm. especially after workin at a dub dlr, way too many cars came back due to mech probs shortly after bein bought. So ill stick w/ my obsession w/ flat fours and sixes. Since I can't afford a porsche, ill keep my subie.

Anyways, down in the natomas area, I walked all over an svo 'stang. And no... not a cobra svt.

The driver with the 2.0T must have been grinding gears in reverse.
