Car Talk 1: Passengers matter

[Calvinball]

Oh absolutely.

The tires on my car are absolute shit. I get second gear slippage if I'm hittin it...with 175 tq. :dafuq:

Vibetrix lights it up in 1st with 127 peak ft-lbs ol:

But, with a you can really force the issue no matter what the engine in 1st...but 2nd?? I've even heard a chirp going into 3rd.

That's pretty considering the Civic Si isn't a torque monster and you have an LSD.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Perhaps if it came in orange...

[Johnny_P]

Do not want broken sunroof RMS exploding water pump leaking misfiring GTI again.

The RMS exploded?
I didn't know that could happen.

[Davestr]

I always went poverty spec with my GTIs. They were 5/7, each one.

+1 base rules. No need for the excess tech etc etc.

Yas

PCV failed. RMS asploded. VC started to leak like a motherfucker. Car misfiring and stumbling because VC gasket seals the spark plug recesses halfway down them, so it filled with oil and killed the coil pack. Replace all that and it's back to misfiring. Not paying $700 for a VC gasket and $1k for an RMS plus why not just do the clutch while you're in there for $600 and before you know it you've spent an entire year of 1SMP ownership in one dealer visit for something that adds literally zero resale value to the vehicle.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Ah, the PCV fail. That's sad.

But I do think you're being dramatic about the RMS. It's leaking, but if it asploded, the car would be done.

Leaking. True I was being with the drama.

I bet you could drive that thing for 100k miles without putting a dime into it.

We tend to forget how little a car takes to run.

Oh it runs. Just feels like you're on ice with how jerky and lumpy the acceleration is due to the misfiring.

[Johnny_P]

Not as bad as @rockchops RX8 since it actually starts, and stays running

...unless it's a V8 S4 ol:

I still miss that thing even though it was ridiculously expensive to run and not very good at anything.

There are a few things I could see me missing from my GTI down the line.
1) Steering wheel
2) Plaid seats
3) The exterior looks
4) The headlights (xenon)

I guess that's it.

Johnny's VW was assembled during Octoberfest. WAP and Balius had their GTI's assembled during a performance review.

Must have been.

Actually...Johnny was your car built in September?

I have no idea how to check this.

Wouldn't be surprised if Hans and Franz were a few maß deep when building my douchewagon

I miss my GTI. I would definitely Mk7R in the future if we need to quit being a 3 car family. Or Mk8R, whatever.
