Q3W'S LEADING AUTOMOTIVE GURU RECENTLY HAD THIS TO SAY:

ToxicSchmuck wrote:2003 Jetta 1.8T chipped, pullies, downpipe/exhaust, custom clutch, 1.5 inch drop, rear sway bar. On the straights its damn quick, I've never driven anything as fast and compared to my Sentra holy fuck! Gun it in 2nd, shift to 3rd then 4th and I'm already doing 160km/h! It spins in 2nd, it just goes like hell. Enough for a daily driver IMO. In the curves it was meh, too much body roll for my taste. Anyway, vdub's are fine cars.

That's right, Mr. Auto Authority has never driven anything faster than a mildly modified Jetta.

I'd go 'meh cars' but i'll go 'meh toxicbug' instead.

Apparantly, the fastest he's ever driven is enough for a "daily driver"

Post by **shaft** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:38 pm

anyone who says "vdub" is a homo.

Post by **Quadhore** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:27 pm

So let me get this straight, toxicbug.. You said my car isn't fast, but a 1.8t jetta, whith the same engine as mine, just heavily under-tuned is"damn quick" and you've "never driven anything as fast" and compared to your car it's "holy fuck".

So what did you mean when you said: "you have no idea what a fast car is. Your S3 isn't fast"

A chipped Jetta will develop 207bhp maximum.

fucking vtech kids. 2dumb2stupid

Somehow I knew you'd enjoy this.

Post by **Quadhore** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:30 pm

Yeah it's great

a 3000lb car with 200bhp is fine for a daily driver. If you're 80, or you drive a sentra.

Post by **Nightshade** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:33 pm

I suppose I should be happy with my 180bhp motorcycle, it's ok for a daily driver, I guess.

Post by **MKJ** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:33 pm

180bhp is fine if thats all you can afford

You have no idea what a fast bike is. Your sports bike isn't fast. 1000bhp per tonne is nothing these days. A civic with a neon blue light under the side skirt with a little asian kid in a fubu shirt driving it will rape your bike.

Post by **Nightshade** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:47 pm

Maybe I should put a 6-inch diameter exhaust, shopping cart handle spoiler, and a Type-R sticker on it.

Post by **bitWISE** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 3:50 pm

My probe could break traction shifting into 3rd. Fun car to drive but I wouldn't wish them upon anyone.

oh dear toxic :/

Damn, I'd love to be able to wheelspin. Fuck this active 4 wheel drive

Actually it probably has 230bhp since the chip adds 40 and it has a bigger downpipe and lighter pulleys. He demolished another 1.8T chipped jetta yesterday by bus lengths and he destroyed a G35c, so its quick. It ran 14.5@102mph in 0 degree weather with stock suspension and stock exhaust, so now it should be close to 14 flat. What did yours run on the 1/4 mile?

Mind you, there done with the 'look under hood' part. Now it's off to the 'let's stand here like stiffs and look cool for the people that pass us by' part.

Not that I condone these guys meeting up in parking lots but seriously an EVO isn't anything to laugh at their pretty good performance cars for the price.

Post by **Grandpa Stu** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:33 pm

yummy, EVOs and a WRX. hella nice cars. btw thanks for that quote it brought a smile to my face. My friend can slip the tires all the way into 3rd gear no problem with his STOCK Cobalt SS. that jetta isn't anything to jump over joy about. fuck even i've chirped the tires while downshifting into second gear even when my car was stock...that's with AWD and rather sticky tires.

if your friend had taken the money he spent upgrading his car and put it towards buying a better car than a jetta i'm sure he could have a stock car that runs better than his "performance" jetta.

Totally wrong. The standard jetta is 150hp, so adding 40hp to that is 190hp. 150+50=190. Use a calculator if you don't believe me. Maybe, MAYBE a downpipe added 10hp, if you're lucky. hence my "207hp"(the 7 might be gained from a performance fuel). But maybe you're talking about the 5-speed tiptronic, because I think that comes with 180 to compensate for the extra weight. But, my math is nothing if not fantastic, and 180+40=220, so the lighter pulleys and downpipe might help it develop an extra 10 or so hp, but that'll be offset by the extra weight from the tiptronic system.

I don't know what you're trying to prove to me. It seems like you're saying my car isn't fast, yet a car that's never even close to the power of mine can only be described as "holy fuck"

Let's take my stock s3. 225hp with 4 wheel drive and an amazing chassis and have it ECU remapped by Revo. Let's also add a fully adjustable Koni Coilover Kit with poly bushes, and a carbon fibre front strut. then put some samco hoses in with a forge dv to increase throttle responce and stop intake collapse. Obviously I'd need better brakes, so the rear I leave stock, and up front I put a nice big pair of Brembo GT's. A milltek catback exhaust system is next, adding a small amount of HP, added with some 98ron fuel, we're currently touching 300hp. Next lets add some nice OZ lightweight alloys, and throw the spare out of the boot to reduce a bit of weight.

the next thing I do is close all of my fingers and then slowly extend my middle at which point I laugh at you for being such a twat

but well done your friend. He managed to beat a VW jetta in his VW jetta. I heard they use them as pace cars in f1 racing these days
