Yeah that's a beast ::)

[79 Z28]

Yeah that's a beast* ::)
i bet a GTI would take you :D

[Wpns Grd Plutonium]

Probably would. I still only paid $5800 for my pile of garbage. If I had $25,000 to spend on a GTI, imagine what I could do to my car.

[Nin]

euro spec? as in 4-motion?

nice car regardless...i want one on the side (older one...early 90s)

[iroc22]

Yeah whats Euro spec mean?

looks like a regular GTI with a different front bumper, projector lights and BBS GLI rims

[theSteve]

Euro Spec, just meens the car was acualy imported from Europ. and not built in North America. It also has certian
proformance parts and options that are not avaliable here.

[Mr. TroPiCal]

basically euro spec means its the version of the car*released in europe as opposed n. america...in the case of the new 2005 Golf's Gti's, they get a better engine producing 200 HP which is what the american Vr6's have been doing to this point...as for this specific car, not being a 2005, im not sure what the difference is (probably mostly cosmetic), but its probably not worth the cost of importing it, but a nice car nonetheless

there are other special edition euro golfs that needless to say would tool a large amount of fbody's on this site...theres even a modified twin turbo R32 gti that does a 11.4 sec 1/4 and costs around 60k

i like golfs...down with you haters

overheating and burning to a crisp. RIP haha

things funny in this video:

a)filming the engine slowly burning instead of trying to put it out...

b)waiting till the fire has spread from the engine bay to the interior before then finally taking a dinky water exstinguisher to it which probably doesn't hold enough water to fill your dog's water dish

c)all the cars that just drive by

d)the guy jogging by in the background

e)the song haha

f)the firemen looking at the hose wondering why water isn't coming out

g)the guy putting his camera on the groud so it can film the car burning

h)the fact that the emergency blinkers are on haha

i)sitting in a burning car getting trying to grab what you can before it burns!

j)the car alarm going off

k)and finally, just how fuckin burnt the car got hahah

great video...poor car...oh well, its funny cause it wasn't me :D

[1987camaroz28]

I dont think they had a fire extinguisher with them in the
car. someone probably brought it out from their house, when
they saw their car burning.* *There really isnt much to do to
try and put the fire out when you dont have water or a fire
extinguisher. All you could do it film it.* :( :( :'(

yeah I think the firemen were'nt in a big hurry to put it out.
dont think it would have made a big difference if they were
in a rush to put it out. At least he can Save the cars Rims...
hahah

[1987camaroz28]

Yeah dirt, or you could just pee on it.. LOL :rofl:
Im getting a new blue Anodized Extinguisher soon to
mount in my car. that video has given me and my car
nightmares!!

[Nin]

those guys could've saved the car...

[Wpns Grd Plutonium]

Is it just me or has everyone forgotten that imports (be them Japanese or European) are the ENEMY!!

[1987camaroz28]

Is it just me or has everyone forgotten that imports (be them Japanese or European) are the ENEMY!!


As a wise old man once told me.
-"You must know thy enemy"
so consider me helping out. The wise old man also told me
-"Pay attention to your enemies, for they are the first to discover your mistakes."
he also told me
-"One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good."

enemies? just enjoy a nice car

[Nin]

Is it just me or has everyone forgotten that imports (be them Japanese or European) are the ENEMY!!


cars are not enemies...their dumbfuck ignorant owners/drivers are :)

i love golfs

[91firebird]

i love golfs

haha its soo true .. golfs gti are super nice id love the 2002 jetta or that style anyways but they are always fucked my gfs moms is always in the shop and i know a guy his heated seats actully caught fire and burt a hole in his pants

[Nin]

i never said they were reliable

mikes girlfriends jetta has been in the shop 3 times now i think for o2 sensor problems

and vw had the most amount of problems among all other car manufacturers worldwide according to JD power and associates

[91firebird]

haha really.. yea nice cars but a fuck load of problems ... i'd still buy a vr6 gti tho my god there fast

[iroc22]

i never said they were reliable

mikes girlfriends jetta has been in the shop 3 times now i think for o2 sensor problems

yeah VW as a corporate whole, but more specifically the porsche brand name was rated the absolute worst in the world

JD always has 1 list that has corporations with their umbrella companies clumped into one, then they have a brand list.* I remember the 2004 brand list was 1. Lexus 2. Cadillac 3. Acura..and porsche last and I can't remember what was in between

that said, porsche makes sexy beasts and Id buy one anyday if I had the extra money laying around* :D

[79 Z28]

ENEMIES!!!!

[89vert]

most anything german is a good car,
any mid 80's+ VW would make a great daily driver

I love my chev's but I would kill for a droptop SL65 AMG

[Nin]

i dont know about you guys...but these chevys are just toys for now lol

when i have more money ill more than likely be driving german (or vette/viper/etc.)

[91firebird]

wish i could say i had a 4th gen toy

[79 Z28]

i dont know about you guys...but these chevys are just toys for now lol

speak for yourself, if it was just some car i would be driving something else too, but its more then that. your banned

[89vert]

wish i could say i had a 4th gen toy

you could if your daddy gave it to you :)

[91firebird]

wish i could say i had a 4th gen toy

haha ... thing is if i got given a car i would treat it exactly how i was with my moms stang traction control off burn outs rotate tire to the right burn out rotate tire to the right burn out and so on :D ...

[Nin]

actually...i just want to sell my car and get an LS1 now...if i get an LS1...i will more than likely keep it for the rest of my life

but eventually...i would like to get something like a corvette

[79 Z28]

news flash a corvette is a camaro lol, just with fiberglass and shitty quality :p

[66chevyIISS]

new flash corvette is nothing like a Camaro :rofl:

[1987camaroz28]

ANYWAYS!!!!!!!! Back to why I really posted this......
I finaly raced my buddies Golf GTI last night around 12:00
down at Esquimalt Lagoon. I managed to keep a full 2 cars
lengths ahead of him, and we both topped out at around
100km and tried it again it was pretty fun. a nice road to
Drag on. I thought he would have beat me, but I guess now
I know. His Golf had a turbo and blow off valve + other mods,
think he's put a good $1,500 in mods. but still couldnt beat
the power my new Rebuilt could put out =)* :rofl: :rofl::D :D :D :angel:

[nodd89]

ive always been thinking about good non heated out spots for that kinda shit...but i would think the lagoon would be heated out with all the houses seeing u...and as for the fire...if i couldnt piss id at least try to blow and blow lol...i wonder if ne thing under the hood was still good...

[1987camaroz28]

The Lagoon in Esquimalt acualy isnt bad beacause theres
water on both side. its a really neet road. you live in
Vic? ever been down there?* It's cool.

Here's a link to a satalite photo of the road. as you can
see its in the middle of the water

http://www.victorialodging.com/aerial-photos/images/aerial-esquimalt-lagoon-landscape-1.jpg

[nodd89]

ya ya ya..my dad always drove me to town when i lived in mechosin down that road..and in that map, that little section of houses is where a buddy of mine lives...just down from sawyard school..or w.e. that school is..

[89RS]

i dont know about you guys...but these chevys are just toys for now lol

when i have more money ill more than likely be driving german (or vette/viper/etc.)


do you even understand the value of money?
have you informed daddy of your viper-purchasing plans?

[79 Z28]

its true, 70k is so easy to come by

one time i looked at what it would cost to buy a vette, with 20k down id still be paying 1000 a month to finance it for 5 years, retarded :ohboy:

[LowriderS10]

*blink* ummm....did you guys even watch the vid? look at around 54 seconds...they've got a bigass fire extinguisher....truth is....if your car's gonna go up in flames, it's gonna go up in flames....

nice silver Golf...however...HOW did he import it? I thought they had to be over 15 yrs old...unless he had a couple hundred grand lying around to certify it and 3 extra ones for crash testing....

[79 Z28]

USA buddy

[LowriderS10]

what about it....er....buddy?

[Dizzle]

They don't have the NAFTA bullshit to go threw like we do.

[LowriderS10]

ummm....last time I checked the US was a pretty integral part of NAFTA ;) And NAFTA only applies to US-built vehicles.

[79 Z28]

what about it....er....buddy?
umm the fact their importing laws are much different then ours, hence why you can import r34 skylines in the us but not into canada, doesnt have to meet the same rules

[Dizzle]

team camaro pwns team s10

[LowriderS10]

what about it....er....buddy?
umm the fact their importing laws are much different then ours, hence why you can import r34 skylines in the us but not into canada, doesnt have to meet the same rules


right...I knew that...but if it was that easy...then why are there no R34 Skylines in Canada? I mean if all it took was import to the US then pop it over the border....

[Dizzle]

Can't do it that way.
Only way to do it is get a US residence and license and then you can only be here for 6 months at a time.

[LowriderS10]

exactly...so I'm still waiting as to how a European VW that's NOT 15+ yrs old is rolling around in Canada :)

[Dizzle]

it's only euro spec RETARD

[LowriderS10]

Yeah whats Euro spec mean?

Euro Spec, just meens the car was acualy imported from Europ.

[LowriderS10]

it's only euro spec RETARD


ooooh...you can call names on the interweb...you must be a tough boy.

[Jessev]

must be

umm because you need to have it pass the required inspections in order to insure it here lol buy it all you want, just cant drive it lol

[LowriderS10]

that's exactly what I'm saying.... ::)

[79 Z28]

that's exactly what I'm saying.... ::)
well you dont see any in canada because they cant be on the road. im sure theres some sitting in garage collections.

[LowriderS10]

and you're still not getting it....:)

[79 Z28]

and you're still not getting it....:)
and your still not making sense, you contradict yourself in this thread

[LowriderS10]

easy...if it's a European-made, Euro-spec VW under 15yrs...how did he get it on the road?

or is it simply a run-of-the-mill Golf w/ some Euro upgrades....

[Captain Morgan]

If it meets all safety standards, why cant you drive it? The skyline's problem is the right hand drive, thats why it has to be 15 years old....the GTO/Monaro has something to do with the bumper.... So id imagine if an imported car passes a safety inspection, its driveable

[LowriderS10]

RHD has nothing to do with it....it's not as easy as passing an inspection...

[idontbelonghere]

hahah, sweet i see he's got the GLI thing goin

nice looking ride...but it need spacers (cheap at PG Performance)...and HE MUST LOSE THE STUPID M3 MIRRORS

[1987camaroz28]

He Just sold it and got a new chrysler 300 like this one
http://www.autobytel.com/images/carPics/TestDrv/300c/650/CV2003_057-L.jpg

quite the nice car, I think he realized he needed a V8. haha

[Zion]

actually, it wont leave the dock if its younger then 15 years old.
also, that gti wasnt imported, just made to 'euro specs'.

importing cars into the states is also VERY hard, and VERY expensive.
soon it will be just as hard and expensive in canada. 15yo rule or not.


and RHD isnt why the 15year rule is there.

it will leave the dock...you can use it for shows/track use as long as you trailer it around and it never sees a public highway.

that gti wasnt imported, just made to 'euro specs' - exactly what I said ;) big difference between the two...reminds me of my buddy who had a polo green 92Z and kept bragging that only like 107 were made...too bad his was a repaint lol...
