Now you've just got to love the Mk1 golf engines. I was coming home from High Wycombe last night after a friends wedding and I had 2 people in the car including myself, so I thought I would push the car to see just how well it runs and manage to get the speed just off the dials...? ;D ;D ;D
I have to say the car was really unstable at that speed and I quickly come back to 70-80ish, but it's so good to know it will do those speeds from a 21 year old car that is not upgraded in anyway at all.... LOVE IT...? :D
What speed does your car go too...?!!
-
a little more than that ;)
-
how much more.... 2+...!!?
-
had the needle nudging 145 before i had to back off as i was running out of
dual carriageway private test track, really don't think i'd get anymore than that unless it was downhill with a big wind, could do with a gps reading for accurate figures though.
-
I had the GPS reading 124mph with Vix and spare cab doors in the back when I had the 8v powering her. My shocks are a little f**k*red so I don't push it too much over 100mph.
-
Mines the same bout 115 but the private test road ran out and i didn't feel too comfortable at that speed - I do the speed limit in my car lol!!
-
my cab can hit the top of the clocks too but i fear its the speedo playing up. i can do 0-60 in about 4.5 secs ;) :D
-
Ive had mine to about 115 on flat, Off the clocks down hill ;)
-
mine stops going faster at 138 on the speedo.. feels like its got more in it though
pretty stable too.. 120 doesnt feel that quick if my "3 lane private runway" doesnt have ermm friends using it too ;)
-
this is all disgraceful. i cannot condone that sort of behaviour on the queens highway. no way. absolutely not.
-
and i suppose u drive that rallye like youve got a basket of eggs on the bonnet ;) :P
-
U sure about that jv wiv recorded 217bhp under yr bonnet!!! :D ;D
-
that's purely for demonstration purposes at santa pod.
-
yeah right :P
-
Good on you JV, Those street racers are disgraceful, Especially that one with the black VW Mk2 with the Jetta head lamps and OZ alloys, Little ruffian ?;D
-
i once got 125 out of the polo. And there was a nice BMW driver about a foot behind? :-\ :D
If u see W15 FAR, key it ;) :D

what is should read is "this is all disgraceful. i cannot condone that sort of behaviour on the queens highway. no way. absolutely not. I'd never be doing 140mph"
;D
-
Ive had 110mph out of my escort, but thats ragging the tits out of it, plus down hill with gale force winds!! :o
-
disgraceful.. by the way i got a sub 15 second 1/4 mile reading from that g-tech i bought, also on my private test track :)
-
how are you getting on with that g-tech thing? any good?
-
dead simple to use, its just a pain finding a clear stretch of road anywhere round here at the moment thanks to all the roadworks.
-
I've had 120 out of my Mk2 8v but 159mph out of my Kwaka zzr600, or at least that what the speedo said ;D
Was going to Birmingham to get a new back tyre, XR2i was trying to keep up with me :D
-
have had my 8v off the clock at 120 so i dunno wot it was doin. was a passenger in my old kjet 8v golf at 135
