Raced a 1.8t!

Okay, It isn't like me to race but I did it anyway. I have a friend with an 2000 1.8t gti. The only mods that he has on it is coil overs and a stainless steel exhaust. We started at about 80 he got a little jump on me but I was passing him by around 110 or so. I'm thinking when he gets his chip (never mind a turbo upgrade!) he would probably beat me.

The suspension. Coilovers are replacement coil springs that can be adjusted to raise or lower the ride height.

Would it be too off topic if I post a link to an awesome not Nissan or Maxima race video? Oh, well your gonna get it anyway! http://www.t16.ds.pwr.wroc.pl/~sosne...ClimbDance.mpg The same friend that I raced showed me the link on one of his VW boards.

yeah, you got me this time

but we'll just have to see when I do get that chip
turbo upgrade won't be in my plans for some time though.

I have to give you guys credit, the maxima engine is a nice piece. but don't count out my little 1.8 four banger
you just wait!

If he gets the chip... he will walk you. I have a cousin that has a 1999 1.8t. I raced him when I had CAI and UDP, and he would pull me by 1 car up to 120mph. R u auto or stick?

Im going to have to agree with some of the max owners on this post...my girlfriend has a 2k2 1.8T and I just installed a chip and H&R springs...sssswwwwoooossshhhh!!! That car dips!! Not as fast as my car, but I ordered a Greddy G2 cat-back, downpipe, inlet pipe and an intake that should all be here next wk. Im estimating that she would probably be around the low 14's... thats not bad. But once I throw that T3/T4 in that little sucker Im gonna need some more power to keep up.
