lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
I bought my gti6 back in February and its been cammed and as far as I know that's it. a friend has just bought a accord type r and thinks there's not even a chance or me but I think differently what does people think? also I've been feeling its slightly down on power in the sense that in the rain it used to spin everywhere now, well not so much my cousin ha an xsi a few years ago and it was all over the road in the wet is it just me gettin used to the car or is it down on power? I mean realistically what should I be leaving behind? when I first bought it I left begin a new leon FR and old leon cupra now I don't even keep up with my bosses civic type r? is that about right? all I have done is changed the induction pipe because the old one was pressed up against the abs pump so I put a longer pipe on and pointed it to the ground an replaced the exhaust with a sportex sport system (with centre silencer but no cat)

Last time it had a service?? Mileage, sounds daft but a full service can help loads
RE: lets race! - puglove - 14-05-2013
sounds like you need to learn to drive a little better if your spinning it up in the wet all the time .
but yeah i can sit on the ass of a EP civic all day long without cams

hmmmmm
RE: lets race! - Dum-Dum - 14-05-2013
I do not understand your post. I suspect that it's because of your complete and utter lack of any meaningful punctuation. Please fix this. Thanks
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
that's just in a straight line It's spinning though! as soon as cams kicked in she was useless in the wet! I have gave it an oil and filter change a set of plugs and a fuel filter all good parts aswell the only thing I haven't changed is the air filter due to k&n an I've even gave that a clean with the proper stuff maybe a dyno test is next I thinks.
well dum dum others seem to understand? what would u like me to fix?

You must do a lot of track days to be racing all these cars.

Well in your race to the speed limit... in the wet.... try using better tyres and you won't spin up everywhere?
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
yeah tyres aren't the greatest but they are not the worst barum bravis 2 quite soft, but this is what I am trying to say it doesn't spin anymore it doesn't feel like it puts me back in my seat anymore

RE: lets race! - Curt - 14-05-2013
Well I'd suggest getting it dyno'd if you really want to know... as asking what you should be "leaving behind" isn't really the way to do it. Mainly because it's stupid, but also because you don't know what other cars have had done to them, if the owner can drive or if they even know they're in a "race".
As for the spinning in the wet, get some decent tyres and learn to control the power so it doesn't spin.
RE: lets race! - Jimbo - 14-05-2013
A gti6 doesn't compare to an ep3 type R
RE: lets race! - strictly_perv - 14-05-2013
You should be pretty even with the Accord especially if yours has been cammed.
Meh who doesn't have a little race against friends on public roads.... but yes I don't think you have worded your thread in the right way giving most the wrong impression of what your saying.
RE: lets race! - Ed Doe - 14-05-2013
Barum bravis.
Oh
My
f*cking
God.
Go get some decent tyres, stop racing things the American way and go learn how to drive properly on a track.
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013

youd be suprised!
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
and as for my thread title it got your attention didn't it? I've posted before and got no replys so what's the thread title got to do with it if it gets answers to my questions?
RE: lets race! - Poodle - 14-05-2013
Hahaha, good point!
But, threads about being a boy racer when most of the people here are frustrated at trying to shake that image... well you can see the outcome lol.
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
this is true but then it's all about the fun in having a top trumps with your friends otherwise why waste money on a gti6? and I'm not a boy racer I've got 6 points on my licence and I can't afford anymore (non speedin offences btw lol) I bought my gti6 because its an icon and I've loved 306's since I could drive. what I don't want though is a car that I know is fast when I want it to be and isn't otherwise I wouldave bought a meridian phase 2 1.4 Lx

RE: lets race! - the milkman - 14-05-2013
Now now lads reading this it does seem some members are being a little harsh!
As said though tyres play a huge role in any kina of speed control and how many miles has your 6 done?

It does, FWD, about a tonne and a quarter, best part of 200bhp screaming engine, compares quite well.
Anyway you should be able to keep up with a CTR but in reality it is the faster car.
No matter what anyone else here tells you the GTi6 just isn't that fast.
RE: lets race! - the milkman - 14-05-2013
Dum has a point! Boosted diesel ftw!
RE: lets race! - thomson - 14-05-2013
kl well the point I was making was that I could have skateboard wheels on the car and it doesn't feel like it has the power to spin even them in the wet. I was trying to put a picture in people's head so they might have a better chance of understanding if I have lost power or not. I think I may have fixed the problem will find out tomorrow on te way to work. think it may have been the new plugs I had in it (Bosch super plus) I cleaned up the old ngkR plugs and it feels a bit better
oh and the engine has done 105k has had an engine rebuild (that's when it got new cams) I wouldave put it down to the person who rebuilt the engine has missed something but it was fine before
