Friend's GTI on the Dyno **Special for VW Haters** - New Video Page 2

At what mph does he start to get traction? Hope he has slicks

Quaife 6 speed tranny…drooooool

not bad for a VW.

where have you been?

waiting for a thread where I can make fun of VWs :slight_smile: This one almost slipped past me.

Nice numbers :tup: very impressive

Seriously it probably costs more than the built schimil bottom end.

wow nice setup, should be quite the highway king…

Says the guy with a cute little Civic hatchback? :bloated: You know what they say about people who live in glass houses?

^ Don’t throw stones

That’s quite the sleeper…

They sss ssss ssink shshhh ships!

I just realized it’s only the $3500 Quaife 6 speed synchro gearset in a normal case. I was thinking of the Quaife 6 speed complete tranny which is 18-21 grand. 3500 is actually pretty cheap for a strong 6 speed synchro set. Kaaz and others charge more than that.

Not sure if that’s the transmission PT was talking about or not, but he mentioned getting a sequential dogbox I believe…

We shall see. I can’t wait to check it out how it is now. :tup:

That’s about $14-16k right there…

At this point, (I assume b/c its not listed) his weak link is the half shafts. Hopefully, he has or is putting in some DSS stg.3 or higher shafts.

Quaife gearset is nice, and strong but has seen a few cases of failure on the strip.(Probably driver error). I, honestly, would want the longer gears of the 5 spd for the boost. My stock 5spd. first gear is useless, so he must have a rowboat in there.

Still a sick machine!

You would know what it’s like to spend that on a VW :smiley:

X…

its like 93civichatchs car in VW form

Wrong. I would know what its like to spend DOUBLE that on a VW.

:eek:
