Title: he tried racing me
Post by: nelds on 13 May 2008, 09:05
This guy was trying it on the other day, when will they ever learn. I saw it parked and had to take a pic, sorry for quality as i only had phone on me to do it.

WTF is with the flames on the bonnet!!!!!!!.....and the picture doesn't do the glitter paint any justice, it looks worse in real life  :grin:

Heheh.

I get lads trying to race me in corsas, novas and saxos. They see a lass in a mk3 golf and think she's a rude girl. I just let them over rev their sh*tty 1.2's and rag it to hell when the pull away from the lights while I casually pull away laughing.

Not that my car can do much in a race, its only a 1.4  :grin: but the "boy racer" chavs dont know that. It does annoy me when someone tries to race me. Maybe if it was a 30bhp 1980 mini cooper trying to race me then I might stand a chance.

Thanks very much  :smiley: Looks nicer from far away though! Got a bit of rust under the paintwork round the wheelarches and the sprayjob it had done just before I brought him was a cheap one. Saving up to get a metallic job done.

He's my pride and joy, I want a bigger engine in a few years - ive bonded with it too much to sell! So I think an engine conversion is gonna be done eventually.

i tell you what i owned a Escort GTi for over 2years and ive owned this Golf GTi for about 2months and ive had more people race me in the Golf :rolleyes:

And the other day i pulled along side someone at some lights and infront the road merges into one, so thinking he would just let me in i went beside him, do you think he would let me pull in with ease?  :rolleyes:  so i had to show the Rover coupe some 16v power and went infront of him  :laugh: think he couldnt believe it went so well  :grin:

i keep getting asians wanting to buy mine off me.....

Haha, I actually brought my golf off an asian. Nice lad, got it for £1100 but what he failed to mention is that in a couple of weeks I will need a new battery, 2 engine clean outs, new spark plugs, a new autonator, a new distributor cap and a brand new clutch...


...Yes, my clutch finally went a couple of weeks ago and it's cost me £300 for a new one. When I got the car it was a bit sticky but it had it's finally straw at some traffic lights  :sad:

I also find that I get more asian lads looking at my car, and obviously they think it's one of their mates driving it because of the tints - they cant see in! :grin:
And whenever Im washing my golf, my next door neighbour, Mombassa always comes out and asks if I'm gonna sell it!

jap cars rule thats why they are the rage!

i seriously need a evo in my life.

He has just fitted a bigger turbo to his skyline and its soon to be remapped which should make it somewhere close to 300bhp...as if it wasn't fast enough already.

Can see why jap cars are so popular, big bang for small buck.

Post by: kells on 17 May 2008, 00:12
aye, they are great, always loved my jap stuff, since getting the swift when i was 17, its just how much you can tune them, no need for engine swaps etc with jap cars, cant go wrong...

regards the car at the begining, how can people spend all that money on spray jobs and wheels and leave the bumpers black?!??!

once I have done a whole track day season in my golf, I will be selling up and getting either an S2000 or a 200SX for track days. want something quick and rear wheel drive with great handling and for £5k they don't come much better I don't think

 :shocked: :shocked: for some reason i thought u might be anti jap, tell u something it needs to be done if your doing track days, much better off in jap than a dub for that, my mate is on his second s2000, mental cars, but if you go for the 200sx, check out the import 180sx :wink:
Title: Re: he tried racing me
Post by: mark3valver on 17 May 2008, 12:44
yeah preferred choice would be the S2000 tbh, I love having to rev the balls of something (cars!! ahem), always wanted to own that engine ever since it came out - incredible. my friend had an 200sx and it was great fun, his was a tad unreliable though.

trying to convince the GF to let me trade the vectra in for a mk5 gti though so will get over this hurdle before I start talking about £5k track day cars!!! lol

a golf gti is a good place to start with for learning the ropes I think, find my feet, get better as a driver and then get something a bit more fruity is the plan!!!
