Oh and Eric, thanks again for letting me troll with your account

And for everyone else, I'm really not THIS much of a dickhead most of the time but I have special love for you typeS guys.

Big Dong

excuse me, pardon me........just trolling through........... :devil:

ou sig

Sweet I guess....but I sure as hell wouldnt be caught driving a Jetta

goldendragon576

Or couldn't catch up to someone driving a Jetta either.

Next...

Still NOT Eric, btw I should really get my own account.

Big Dong

Fair enough, I wouldn't be caught dead driving a car that cost 30k+ thats slow as balls and made by Honda. :thefinger :devil:

Ooooh, Wolfsburg Edition. My neighbor buddy has one. Looks exactly like yours. Well, on the outside, anyway. His isn't modded.

14.11 in a Jetta. Good shit.

fla-tls

Big Dong, did you have to upgrade the internal parts of your engine to run 20+ lbs of boost?

Big Dong

Nope, motor is good till around 400 whp on stock internals. I am only about halfway there. Should be making mid 3xxwhp in about 6 weeks once all the parts get here and I will still be on stock internals.

Turboara

OOOooooooooo I wish I had a Jetta, then I'd be as cool as you

aquilles10

This is such a stupid thread. I just wasted 4 minutes of my life! :smackhead

goldendragon576

It took you 4 minutes to read this!? :worship:

aquilles10

it's been a long week

Big Dong

No, you would simply be faster. I see you also have a DSM........at least you know whats it's like to go fast then......

ajNYHC

I have to admit that's a nice looking Jetta, ...

Turboara

I hope you were using race gas at 24psi..... thats a lot of bOOst

MADCAT

Whats the difference between a pineapple and a German-Car owner?
The pineapple has the pricks on the outside.

Big Dong has proven that.

:thefinger

Big Dong

Nope, on 93 octane. Software is actually pretty conservative in the top end for a/f as well, down into the 11/1 a/f ratio from 6500rpms to the 7200rpm redline. It doesn't hold 24 the whole way though, spikes to 24, drops to 20-22 and holds that till about 5000rpms, then slowy drops to around 13psi at redline. The stock turbo is pretty much maxed out there, it's only the size of a large apple. :toothless

Big Dong

All in good fun dude...........

ResidualFreedom

the Jetta is a Chicks car, along with the Golf.

But hey at least they are built properly right?

There was only 800,000 VW's recalled last week but hey, just like you said I'm sure the internal compoinents of your engine will hold 400hp. IF THE AXLES HOLD UP!!!!!

Buy the way your car looks stock.

vipvop

I'd drive a jetta, but then I'd have to remove my penis and gay it up with some hello kitty stickers (or maybe a Roxy sticker).

seriously though, everyone has their own preferences, but a jetta really is a girl's car.

Big Dong

It does look fairly stock......so do the tail lights. I would be glad to show you some time.

ajNYHC

I'm RICK JAMES BITCH!

aquilles10

IT'S A CELEBRATION BITCH!

MADCAT

OH GOD..I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR LAUGHING......

Big Dong

Well, you know they def. do have their issues like every other car out there. You know what though, it is worth it to me to deal with failed window regulators, MAF's, and coilpacks that only need replaced once (for free) and be wiping smirks off the faces of TL-S owners, when I have less than $1200 of go fast mods on my car.

If you think they are so unreliable, I am sure you know that the worlds fastest 1.8T MKIV VW traped at 128mph in the 1/4 on completely stock untouched tranny, differential, axles, and a motor that was stock and untouched from the valve cover to the oil pan........and it was street legal.

Any TL-S owners trapping 128mph yet? How about on stock internals, and drivetrain?

LiQiCE

Dont know if we can claim a 128mph TL-S, but you're claiming our cars are so slow when we have TL-S/CL-S's running 14.2 completely N/A (with I/H/E)... this is for autos too. With some more minor bolt ons (pulleys, Unichip ECU?) I'm pretty sure a TL-S could match your 14.1 with no problems. I'm no expert on Jetta's but I'd assume you're running a manual transmission right?

If you wanna compare turbo'ed/manual tranny numbers, a Turbo'ed CL-S 6spd was able to run a 12.930 @ 111.87 ... No intercooler, just a turbo and some simple tweaking of the turbo. No ECU tweaks or anything ... With more tweaking and maybe an intercooler I'll bet the CL-S 6spd could reach/surpass the 128mph 1/4 mile that you're talking about...

Not trying to disrespect the Jetta at all. Every car has its pros/cons. The TL-S obviously has some transmission problems, but for what it is at ~$30K, its a pretty damn good value for what you get inside and in terms of the engine. A stock 260hp/232 ft/lbs engine ain't too shabby coming straight from the manufacturer.

I know with Turbo'ed VW/Audis you get some pretty awesome gains from just a simple ECU swap. Thats definitely a sweet deal considering we need to spend $1000 just to get headers and about 32whp in the upper RPM range.

The only ECU (and its a piggyback) for the TL-S/CL-S is the Unichip right now and gains are only about 10-15whp although it is across the entire powerband.

Anyways, its probably all in good fun ... but you guys are going back and forth with Jetta vs. TL-S, when personally I'm just here as a car enthusiast. I own a TL-S so obviously thats what puts me on this board ... but I can still respect another car for its advantages.

BTW- Gotta give props for the stock looking car. I love the sleeper look ... There's definitely a ton of 'all show, no go' cars around.

@cUr@-TL

are you fucking crazy?? the tranny would be long gone!!! :toothless


@cUr@-TL

Big Dong

Thumbs up for an intelligent respectful member on this board.

We aren't lookin for trouble......all in fun. :thefinger

Black-n-Tan

tl = sport luxury sedan, not a race car. type s happens to be pretty quick for this category of vehicles, but if we wanted something fast we would have spent $30k + on a WRX or something.

but i kinda wish i bought a yellow beetle with the flower petal rims. then i'd be badass

hehe

goldendragon576

Then why do 80% of you drive the car like it is? (i know, 80% is such a random number but, it sounded good in my head)

I'm not ignorant, I know there are plenty of you out there that have fast typeS' but lets not go to the "quality built" argument when you are still trying to put all that power to the ground via such a $hitty transmission. I know a few of you that are on your 6th trannie on an '02 model. I think I'm made myself plenty clear

The one thing that NONE of you can argue is that Dubbers have way more fun! I've been to a couple of Acura meets and damn they're boring!

not eric some more

ResidualFreedom

Sorry to break it to you buit the 800,000 cars recalled last week was because of a SNAPPING REAR AXLES, not failed window regualtors, but nice try.


How fast do you think you can go with out a axle? even if my trannie won't shift I'll still make it there!

p.s. I like your car. All fun buddy!!

LiQiCE

Hey, I haven't been to enough Jersey Acura meets to say how things go over there ... but in NOVA we have some pretty damn good meets. Personally, I hang with the RSX crowd a lot because the TL/CL people don't get together too often. But I know a bunch of people that hang with Capital RSX in this area because they put together some really good meets! I'm pretty sure I've caught some VW/Audi's hanging out with us

goldendragon576

Ok, Hows this for a WED nite GTG? Not a show, just a GTG...

samc

Don't hate because your driving something your dad bought you. OR he bought an even more expensive acura and passed his "baby" to you.

samc

Show me some info, I've never heard of any snapping rear axle, maybe your confusing VWs with ACURAs?

goldendragon576

This was definitely very interesting to read...so now that Raf had his fun, I want to add an input into this.
First on the who's faster deal. I will be the first to admit that us TL-S drivers are a bit snubbish and think we are faster then many on the road...which we are, especially a Jetta, but to be honest, when Raf's Jetta can smoke me (which I fear will be very soon) I will have to give him the due respect. I think every car company has a problem with something, so why are we pointing at specific problems? VW's may have a problem with their Axles and we have a problem with our tranny...I think we point at other car company problems to mask the fact we have problems of our own. As for meets? Sorry guys, but our kinda suck compared to VW meets. Even last year, I invited EVERYONE from Aworld, CL and this site and there was only an average of 4 people that showed up with Acura's!!! Sure I had fun, but damn....only 4?? I think our best showing was 6 Acura's, gotta admit that's sad when VW has over 50 cars that show up EVERY week!

ResidualFreedom

It was announced last week it was all the way back to 1996!!!

Don't worry I don't think it effected your Jetta's it was a recall for the AUDI A4's, A6's and the Passat's.

It def was an axle recall, not sure front or back, but it was announced during the morning news here in Toronto.

Funny thing was - Later that same day - I saw a Honda Pilot with a snapped front axle - he was in my lane coming up to some train tracks - he must have flew over them and when landing - SNAP - he slid all the way into my lane!! Thought it was a flat tire , then I saw the wheel facing fowards, under the front bumper!!

- Serious Respect on that picture - It looks like a fricken add for VW!

ResidualFreedom

Here is an article on the Recall

http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/michi...2355207680.xml

The recall is to examine rubber boots on the front axles, which can get damaged and in some cases cause failure of the bearing arm, Volkswagen said.

fla-tls

I bought this car because it was the best of all worlds. I could afford a near-lux car, and wanted navi, leather, etc.

The thing that sold me on the TL-S is that it excells in EVERY category. I don't know about you, but my driving moods change from day to day. On some days I want a fast car that pushes me into the the seat. On other days I want a luxury car that can cruise in comfort with excellent amenities. On top of that, I love having a car that I can NEVER get lost in. (although that's one good excuse gone down the crapper...)

As far as meets go - who cares. I didn't buy a car to meet people. It's personalized transportation that fits my whim every day of the week.
