im 20 have a golf gti 16v in black and lowered with full leather and i can not drive anywhere without some wee prick in a combat kitted corsa wanting a race. all i do is oblidge and accelerate flat out to the speed limit and then stick to it they then tear past about 30 seconds later on a blind corner doing about double the speed limit thinking they have just beaten a gti.
i just laugh and do the same thing at the next set of lights.
one small problem iv used ?120 of fuel in 7 days o dear!
-
i drive a 1.6 cl and i still get 1.2 corsas try to run me!
The sad thing is most of them have sh!tty heavy alloys with crappy tires and have no traction off the line
15inch OZs with Toyo Proxies Pwns All! ;)

Its the GTI badge that incites their rage. True.
-
i love it watching them dissapear into the distance
-
all the time.
-
......I dont get botherd by the Saxo/corsa brigade, but my Missus does when she's borrowed my motor.
I usually get the much newer regular cars having a go?!.....maybe its because its on an 'M' plate they think its too old to really have a go back?
-

that would explain my lack of 'races' then >:(

No one believes mine's a D plate :(

i get that too.. esp on the mway.. some guy in a 2.0 honda vtec family thing the other day tried to keep up
-
i had a good race with a starlet turbo the other day!

think thats true... with mk3s i think a valver looks like a vr6 tho. coz it aint got that big shiny badge on the front.. either that or i got my 'thug mug' down to a tee 8)
-
yeah, but think i used to when i had spots ;)
-
^^ Ash i love your car dude, but how do you survive with that sorta ground clearence?
-
Yep I get it... from both lads and lasses...
the lasses USUALLY have Punto's and the engines are usually the 1.2 16v.... with K&N filters, exhausts, bodykits, spoilers etc etc
the lads are normally in Nova's, AX's, Saxo's, Corsa's & occasionally a Punto and an Astra GSI mk3 <--- older lads
And so long as its not the GSI Astra cos only the VR6 will beat that... or a lil 106GTI or SaxoVTS then i just p!ss on them...
U just DONT race a GTI in a 1.2 Punto LMAO
-
everything from metro's to mercedes' have a go at me, although i did get my arse handed to me once by a seriously modded renault 5 turbo :'(
-
heh heh, I once had two lads in a red Metro GTi try to take me when I first got my car... and I floored it ... bye be Metro... bit silly looking back tho...
although i did get my arse handed to me once by a seriously modded renault 5 turbo
Those are seriously quick... I remember a person I once knew was in a modded one and was being chased by the police and he took it onto a backroad and it blew up LOL ... he then ran threw a field and was caught and arrested ... ::)
-
RS turbos give me a go. I dont bother racing anyone due to my large/heavy sub box that weighs me down. >:(
-
I'm going to be on the hunt for anyone to race when I get the new lump in there ;D
-
i'll give you a run mate :P
-
Today i ran a 1.6 pug106 with 4 people in it, and a old Astra GTE thingy around a wet carpark thats sorta shaped like an ovel and about 200meters long by 40Meters, It was my first real race.
We lined up and raced about 4 or five times, 4 laps each time. Everytime i won because i didnt have cheep nasty tires and wasnt launching from like 7000RPM so i just got into the lead from the start. The Pug wasnt a problem but the Astra was keeping up quite well, I dont think the driver was very good because she kept bogging the car comming out of the corners and slowed down to much when she was going into them but it was still one big f**king buzz!
The other advantage is that my golf is stripped out, has a shift light and monster tach, and Toyo tires :P. Sorry to ramble, But im still hyper and buzzing off it ;D
-

seriously light cars but like a baked bean tin in a crash. :'(
as for the rs, the owners must spend a fortune blowing up engines. Dont worry about your weight blue mk2 they actually got to make it home ;D
-
If i think its just a stupid tw@t in a 1.2 or sumthin,i'll deliberately travel at 30mph n not let them passed!Just to p!ss them off! ;D Only had one race with a focus, but i got bored with him n just went home! ;D
Dinky :-*
-
Outside of London it tends to only be other Golf's that have a go! (Had about three on the way home last night!)
In london, every set of lights is a race!
-
I have had this problem in the past week.
A peugoet 106 gti decided to torture me after playin about first.
A nissan sunny was racin me not a gti but was about 3inch from my bumper n doin jumps at 90mph that beat me aswell
And a ice cream van raced me :-[ but I JUST won lol
-
Dude, you need a fast car very soon!!!
When a Mr whippy nearly out drags you, its time to change!
You considered selling a Kidney on ebay?
If you sold a few organs you could get an R32!!
-
not long now should have a job within 2weeks if they reply to me this time
-
LOL :D
-
^^ Ash i love your car dude, but how do you survive with that sorta ground clearence?
;) yeah its a bit bumpy, but the arches are rolled and got 45 profile tryes, so theres no rubbing. The front spoiler takes a bit of a hammering, just against my religion to raise the suspension back up. ;D
-
my car i lowered 60 aswell and rubs at times! but only on the front!
-
you can always remove the spitter Ash ;)
-
like what ive done.
My drive is at a slope and i once managed to pop my front arches off aswel >:(
-
a mate has as slammed VTR and we all had to lift it cos it was caught on the exhaust bracket on the door runner hole. there was 4 of us on the corners whilst he reversed very slowly out. ::)
-
so you all get out and lift the car at every speed hump then?
:D :D :D
-
dunno. I never see him usually. We golf boys don't like to mingle with the saxo kiddies ;)
-
i have to plan my journey around fekin speed bumps!
-
ive kept mine quite high because i have ?180 worth of front lip to lookafter!
-
There's a Renault Clio Williams that must leave work at the same time as me, as he always seems to race me at the same set of lights most days! To be honest he drives like a maniac, so I leave him to it! ;)
-
Ah, I suspected this since I started driving my valver 5 months ago. Each time I get on the road I come across at least a car or two trying to provoke a race. Pure temptation but I just resist. I drive the way I want and when I'm in the mood I make my valver shift pass others effortlessly.
-
I hate when they sit right up my rrrs. It makes me lose concentration and I have to slow right down ;) ;D
-
all the time at the traffic lights. in there claped out festas, novas ect!! do my head in
-
I can't stand it when they tailgate. Its very difficult to concentrate especially if there is traffic ahead.
-
I've only had this a couple of times in the golf. More often than not I end up getting asked to race when I'm in my mates Corsa as it's totally standard except for alloys, exhaust and tinted windows.... from the outside. They get quite a shock when I put my foot down and leave them :) - 2.0 Cavalier engine, ported, polished, gas flowed, race cams, lightened/balanced fly wheel/clutch, twin webbers and nothing but the dash and 2 bucket seats inside ;D
-
The boys round where I live no better than to try and race me ;) :D
Tho I do get the odd one that gets confused when they see the child seat in the back of the GTI ;D
-
It just seems to be other Golfs that try to race me in my VR6.
I've gone up against Modded mk1s & mk2s, mk2 Rallyes, Mk3 16vs & VR6s, and a spanking new R32 the other day.
The rallyes are tricky to keep up with round the corners. The R32 kicked my bottom.
I'm gonna get a Mk4 4Motion and turbocharge it. It's time for payback.
Nick.

sounds good to me.
i just debadged mine to see if it makes a difference.
