The VW down the Quarter...

[Ben]

Well, I'm kinda wiery about running the QM tonight...damn shes gonna be slow...everyone will laugh, blah blah blah.

Anyways, Just to let everryone know, I will be running her entirely stock, on 87 octane gas. I even removed the Short Shifter and the K&N Filter, and I might change the tires back to the stock 13 lb alloy 13's so I would like everyone to know this is a test for my benefit, so that I can guage exactly what the modifications will do for me as I go.

So yeah, this is important to me...as I plan on keeping this car for a long while and playing around with it.

If anyone sees this going down the track, thats me...

Damn you people...wheres the Love?! AHAHA J/K. Yeah, we all have to start somewhere, thats what I say...and you need to get that first run under the belt so that you can move on to bigger and better things. I've been putting it off for too long. Oh, anyone have a Lid?

Shit man you ask now..I have like 4...you dotn have any kickign around..what does your dad wear when hes rollign on that high roller bike of his?

[Ben]

He wont let me touch that lid, but its too small anyways.

I wouldn't mind buying just a basic used one...i wouldn't wear it much anyways.

[4wheeldrift]

You can run again my buddy in his almost completely stock laser/daytona thingy. Should be about as quick

[Cal]

u might run 17's 18's i dono no effence
my bike would run up in the 40's

[Fluidic]

Hey Benny... I'll race you man!

Dude... don't forget to tie your battery down. They are EXTRA sticky about that over at Race City!

Well... I'm off to go "change a few things" on my Jetta.... ( ).. see you at the track!

[cocoabrova]

Right on Benny maybe we'll line up tonite.. BTW who cares what other ppl are going to say, like you said you wanna gauge your stock time against modded times, but I know the SS ppl are a tough crowd I've seen slower/worse cars go down the1320-like a Festiva that got 21+/- seconds...

[Ben]

Yeah, I dont care, and peter, my batery has the factory GTI Batery Clamp, so s'all good.


Yes, I'm expecting 17's or 18's...I can deal with that...its not like I said it would run 14's so I have alot to live up to, ahahaha

[James]

Good Luck Benny!

[Audi Kid]

What are you talking about, that thing idles at nearly 2500 hahaha...redline is only 6250, but I dont gain any more pull after 5500...

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

What snell rating do you need for the track ???
I have a shoei motocross helmet with a rating of W85
it's a little to small for my head though i used it when i was younger

[4wheeldrift]

I know its Snell 85, but not sure what ratings. W rated might be no good

[Stratus_Power]

will ppl laugh at me if i bring my stratus?

[Ben]

Well, tonight sure was an eye opener!

I did everything I could and could not beat 18.600

I Was expecting times in around there, so it is a good eye opener for me, and a good platform to base my modifications on...

My clutch was slipping, so I was unable to get decent launches, it would drop to 2500 before starting up again, which sucked...but hey, what do you expect for an 18 year old car with factory everything.

I'm not gonna race my car the rest of the year...I have my starting point which is what I came out to achieve, so laugh as you will at my time, it wont be that slow next spring.

i wouldn't let the people who cuss out other rides get to you if you experienced it. i on the other hand wish you luck with all your modding on this oldie but still goodie. i wouldn't mind modding out an old car but me, i don't really like boxy cars hehe.
