Well... got my smoked fogs and indicators etc fitted (finally) and I went to see my brother. Anywayz on the way back I decided to go the scenic way ;) so through town I went and pulled up in the carpark with the other "ricers" lol.
anywayz... these cars I was parked along side were ALL 1.2/1.4 CORSA's .... modded to **** ... new bumpers front and back, lexus lights, huge spoilers, blacked out windows, 17" wheels, lowered etc
anywayz, i pull up with my tiny 15" wheels, standard gti suspension and the few other lil mods ive done ... but theres a BIG difference
Mines a (sorry vr6 but it needs said) performance car. Not a hairdressers commuter.
Everyone was like... whooa man cool car niiice fogs ... etc .. i dont even have an exhaust and i attract these neandathols (sp?) over quicker than a moth to a light bulb. anywayz.. one of the Corsa boys is giving it raves about how his K&N filter and super exhaust and chipped engine etc etc yadda yadda can keep with my 8v... so... i test him.
1.2 8v Corsa (modded engine) Vs 2.0 8v Golf GTI
and to make him more embarrased i wanted a girl to get into his car... he said it'd weigh his car down etc (which the girl was proper mad about lol) but i just said... mines a bigger car, lets try to make em the same weight group....
so he agreed... ... i only wanted the girl in the car so she could laugh at his piece of sh!t car when it gets blitzed by this standard car.
anywayz, we go down near the railway line and do the lil drag strip thing down there... its about 500m ... and the road is dead after 7pm and the local factory has closed up etc.
so... 3.2.1 go... bye bye Corsa. nuff said.
anywayz, i just goto drive home and this Rover 216 GTI appears behind me and overtakes... (H reg) so im like... uhhm... no... and i overtake it again (tho he proper put his foot down to stop me doing so) ..... anywayz i got by and accelerated and he tried ALL ways to get past me... but... his was a tank and probably had been flogged from day 1 and was a knackered old heap and needed dismantled cos i accelerated away from him!
WOOT...
well... pics of my new smoked fogs & indicators are below (its night time so basically... u can only see the reflection off the digi cam flash LOL!

*btw the fogs look like there Xenon or summet... they appear blue ... tho the camera doesnt show this :( *
-
i dont even have an exhaust
must be really loud then :o
u beat a 1.2 corsa. well done.
A 216gti would blow you away if it was in good nick. a mate has a standard one and it's just as quick as my mk2 so would be quicker than the mk3
-
I had one of them rovers and theres no way your golf would of kept up unless he wasnt really botherein, i mean must of been an old man in that ::)
-
Theres two 216 GTI's. There the GTI and the GTI Twin Cam (that my dad had)
this wasnt twin cam.
and it wasnt an old man... but like i said it was a H reg and probably hadnt been maintained well.
-
lol,i get those boy racers tailing me all the time in the bodykitted fiestas and novas.My car is like bees to honey they just can't keep away...wish i'd got a black/grey one now!!!regards Ryan
-
Well cool.
The stunning performance must have been down to the aerodynamic nature of the smoked fogs due to its lighter molecular structure and the pitch of the mounts. Current research has also proved that blue colour light projects quicker thus carving through the air quicker allowing your car to accelerate cleaner through the atmosphere, in turn giving you the power advantage over a 1.2 Corsa.
-
you should get those blue led's for the washer jets, adds another 15bhp. ;D
-
I heard the new ones change colour from red to yellow, blue and green. those are ment to give another 5bhp!
a trip to halfords is planned soon
-

lmao ;D
-
LOL @ all of the above.
...........ah, what about those LEDs you can put on your tyre valves?!.....another 3BHP at least!!
:D ;D :D ;D
-
I used to work with a guy who would refuse to have his sunroof open because of the drag it caused, - he used to drive a 1.1l fiesta!!!!
-
Lets be honest though, if you drove a 1.1 fiesta you'd want all the help aerodynamics could offer too!
-
How much BHP does a spiderman stuck to the window add????
-
25 brake, easy.
Go for the spiderman/garfield combo, its unbeatable
-
So does that mean that a wiggly elvis will have the same if not better effect than NOS???
::) ;D
-
25 brake, easy.
Go for the spiderman/garfield combo, its unbeatable
........hmmm depends if the Garfield is pre '85 really, later Garfields filled out more and gained more weight and the the black stripes were a bit chunkier. Those in the know would go for the pre '85 with the lighter construction trading off the fluffier cuddly look.
Try that with the '91 Bartsimpson with the eagle eyes, all the pros are using this combo in the states and pissing on 1.4 Corsas.
-
So maybe my fuel consumption and top speed would be better if I removed the nodding Eric Cartman?
-
^ considerably!? pretty obvious with him being the chunker he is!
adding a kyle/stan or maybe kenny (minus head of course) makes little difference tho
-
ohh and butters adds a few bhp.. something to do with lubrication.. same with cartmans mom ;)
-
???? ok, lets just clear this up ... the fog lights change was just cosmetic cos I hated the originals... and still do... they just look like they dont fit or summet...
I actually wanted the Polo GTI style bullet fogs, but couldnt find any... so the proper VW ones were my next option.
And as for the story... FFS it was just summet to write.. i wont bother anymore if ur just gonna piss and moan.
-
naa dont worry mate.
your fogs look kool. doubt it they were on about you. sounds like they were takin the piss out of the neons these little kids drive around with.
-
yes we were. unless you have the things we were talking about ;)
-
I hate people who drive round with your fogs on when its not foggy! What tw@ts they look!
-
I'll 2nd that lowgolf.
pisses me right off.
if they follow me I put my rear fog on!
-
The most annoying things are
1: Washer jet LED's
2: BLUE headlights (not philips blue vision) .. BLUE bulbs... they are like little LED's .. they light NOTHING up..
3: Headlight covers sprayed red,green,blue etc ...
btw, all are illegal... but do the police care?? noooo
-
Nah, police only care if you do 40 in a 30 >:(
-
yeah.. b@stards huh!!
those blue things distract ya! ... then ya crash :(
