i feel so embarrassed
 
today when i was comming home from werk, i saw a stock volkswagen golf and i decided to flash my hazzards and on went a race. we were pretty equal to begin with but then off he went.
gosh....
now i need some preformance parts.
i can usually kill civics and such, i dun get how a stock golf could've killed me.
any of you guys got any embarrassing losses?

yeah, i can keep up with a v6 97' camaro. i hate losing to old people. like old folks in v8 crown vics

werd up
 
dood so flashin the hazards is like race talk or somthin?

j2tha0e 05-28-02 01:20 PM

ya, i'm thinking flashing the hazzards would instigate a race.

I think I may know almost better than anyone that the ES 300 is not a racing car.:D Good try but keep your car clean and they will respect it.

aight... ;)

Was the golf a GTI? If so, any newer GTI (1.8T or Vr6) would give the ES300 a serious ass kicking in a race. No point racing an ES300 anyway, its a slow car, except for the 5-speed versions which are surprisingly quick.

dude, there's not much of a difference :(

j2tha0e 05-28-02 06:34 PM

is my car really that slow?
i've read repetedly that this car isn't that fast, but i swear i can kill quite a few cars on the freeway.

i guess it just must be skills.:D

alight, so if my car is slow as stock, is there potential with mods?

blux 05-28-02 06:43 PM

dood I dont think our cars are slow....compared to other cars I have driven....the lex is suprizingly fast... Ive killed many, usualy some pos...haha although this guy in a 02 sebring convert owned me, I didnt have my pwr button on so...it was kinda lame... </random>

Definetly like the idea of droppin a supercharger on. That would give those silly domestic stock mustangs and camaros a run for their money.

if u want performance parts, go to www.weapon-r.com they have an ECU for 95+ ES300's i believe. You can also get an air intake and airbox from them. I'm not sure how much all this would help as far as speed (even though intake might give u a cool noise)... but then again when u take off from a stoplight with someone, every lil bit helps.

EGainer 05-29-02 09:06 AM

try making your own performance parts. i am looking into making my own cold air intake

EGainer 05-29-02 09:09 AM

about the respecting thing. i have found that people don't respect old es300s. it seems that they thiink i am drving a camry. so it really gets them when i pull away from the light with my engine growling and moving with some speed. our cars can beat many cars, excluding sports cars.

blux 05-29-02 12:16 PM

w0rd up to that EG....these peeps are like look, its an old es...then we kick there asses..... WHA WHA WHAT!!
