blowing away a vs on a budget, iz it possible??

[dansedgli]

If you were in Vic, I'd let you borrow my EB for an hour for $100. That would shut him up.

[billyb35]

Can the OP stop typing ****ing da l33t net talk. God strike me down, you should just go out and buy yourself a ****ing VL commodore and put SS mags on it.

Blowing off a VS 6 is hardly an achievement worth any effort. It would have bragging rights similat to .

- Running the best tuned stocker Mitsubishi Express SWB.
- Owning the longest piece of string in Coolac.

Forget about your mates ageing chariot and concentrate on what is the best ride for you. $2K too shut up some gobbler in a smokey ecotec only to find there is a million more similar dreamers out there. Put your $2k towards something decent.

True that!

Whatever mods you decide to do, don't spend money on your car just to compete. If you're gonna spend money on your car, do it for yourself and your own personal satisfaction. What will you do when the next 'faster' car comes along? Spend more to compete with him too? That's just my honest opinion

I think your would really struggle to beat a VS for $2000 or less. Only way I can think of would be to buy a little turbo Starlet or Pulsar or something.

I agree I had a ea s pack mpi manaul. Raced a friends vs and got beaten badly. They are fairly overrated. Thinking of buying another but only to use as a bush basher

[Bucknaked]

I got an XE for sale. Its got a 4.1 250 in it. Need a little work to going as hard as you want it. But I know squat about these engines. So no idea what would be involved.

all depends on the condition of the motor, as most EAs wouldnt be looking too healthy.

An EB manual will slaughter a VS by a few car lengths if driven properly

[RSgerry]

hhhmmm...4.1 cortina or 2 litre escort. the escort isnt as quick as the cortina, but the look on your mates face when he gets owned by a 4 pot will be priceless.

however, i tend to agree with a couple of the other posters...save you pennies and get something you really want, not just a car to race once.

[mick.wheelz]

i got an xe you can have for $200, lol. needs a bit of work but it goes pretty hard.

Hehehe, yup, the look on peoples faces when a 2.0L, 4 pot Escort owns them is priceless (like the guy in the statesman today who didn't expect my car to be as quick as it is, it was funny, just ask LuvinmyEB hehehe), people underestimate them, and unless it looks as sweet as RSgerrys RS2000, nobody expects them to be capable of putting up a good fight off the line.

But RSgerry and everyone else have a good point, the important thing is that you like it and enjoy driving it, so don't just get whatever you think will flog your mate, get something you like.

[stockstandard]

If he is happy with it good for him. Personally I wouldn’t pay 2g just to burst someone’s bubble. From the looks of it that commy will at least impress the 16yo jail-bait. That aint going to happen with a $2000 POS.

[WIKIDSTIX]

yeh true, well im gonna save for a semi decent car. i just got a new job, and dads actually giving me his corolla, so i can save for a bit. YaY. im kinda over beating him nywayz. lol.

but it would be nice, coz he does pick up 16 yo's, 15's jail bait btw.

I cannot believe that no-one has mentioned a Mazda RX2/RX3 with a 12A maybe even a 13B with a little port massaging. All for under $2000.00, This would easily kick commodore ***.

Yeah but would you want to been seen dead in an aged rotor any more than in an aged commie. If I wanted to emulate the rotary experience I'd just run the whipper snipper inside a tin shed.

[max^power]

i searched for weight reduction, and i got here. Thanks mate, instead of looking at spending money on my car, i got a damn good laugh.

[K_Man]

Just save up and buy something that makes you happy dude, you'll grow out of the whole 'racing your mates' thing soon enough. My ED definitely isn't the fastest car out of all my mates, but it's mint, and it's mine

[Kryton]

put ricer stickers on the front doors

LOL, Ahhhh shit that comment had me in stitches! :hihi:

[mr_efxr]

VS's go shit if you ask me, I had the stock auto and stock engine in mine, 98RON fuel, K&N filter and AU TE50 snorkel and I killed my mates VS statesman V6, he has Pacemakers, 2 1/2" twin pipes, SS air induction, 19" Rims with 245 rubbers and I had him of take off all the way upto 160km/h, in the end I was 2 car lengths in front.
Just kep on pulling away and away.

He was shattered.

[mr_efxr]

Get an old series 1 or 2 RX7 rotary. Get it mechanically spot on and that will teach him a lesson.

[Fairlane]

[mcflux]

[Supa R00]

[Grechie]

change of subject sort of, would a, EB/ED 4.0L, K&N POD Filter, pacemaker 4499's, high flow 2.5 inch cat and redback exhaust, 4 speed auto... beat a stock VS??




-Grechie

[Vision Zetec]

hey i just beat my mates VS v6 the other day in a drag in my stock (apart from zorst) EB I6 auto!

his car is down a bit on paper but they are not that fast as people think. just make sure you organise it well like as soon as he fills up with petrol and your low on it race him!

i would suggest an EB/ED xr manual
