[fan_1981]

You forgot Bulgarian Nicks beefed up civic.

[Shahe Abee]

I musta not seen that one. I didnt get to check the board again before it went down. Nick can you post that again. Or can anyone give anymore information about his beefed up civic?

[bulgarian_nick]

As I said, I had to add a custom made wing to this sucker just to keep it on the ground at high speeds. http://persianfootball.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif

[Shahe Abee]

Ohhh yeh I remember that now. I asked before, is your hole exhaust that big or is that just the tip? What else have you done to that car?

[bulgarian_nick]

Ohhh yeh I remember that now. I asked before, is your hole exhaust that big or is that just the tip? What else have you done to that car?

lol its a joke, i don't have that car but I would drive it if i did!

[Shahe Abee]

Ohh wow im slow. Aite forget about that. lol

[Blue]

a reminder of what my car would look like had it not been smashed into smithereens :(

[Shahe Abee]

Hey hey hey, no photoshopping rims.

[Blue]

damn! almost had you.

my original rims are so crappy, i feel like taking the wheels offm and sending them to a 3rd world country so the kids can roll them down the street and play with them, thats how ashamed i am.

[Shahe Abee]

Hahaha, what do your old rims look like? I can hook you up with some new ones on the cheap if you want. I work at an Rims store.


Btw, lets go people? Only a couple of IK members have cars?

[Dr Fish]

[Shahe Abee]

You got any times? Is that thing turboed?

[Blue]

thats a mean lookin car there perjad. i like it. its the kind of car where you think ' is that guy gonna kill me if i overtake him?'

[fan_1981]

Perjaad agha,

if you increase your speed at the corner by 5 km/h to 15km/h, i'm sure you'll flip. ;)

I've got a Civic like Blues, except mine hasn't been in an accident ;).

[IK COP]

na, it wont flip. I have taken turns at 140KM/h on track . I have a solid rear axcel. It is suppose to go on 3 wheels. VW are known to lift the rear wheel while taking a sharp turn.
These 2 other vw are taking exact same turn

[Bache Jordan]

no offense but can anyone explain me what is nice about perjad's car?

it looks like a car from the 80s to me

[IK COP]

BJ, it is a car from 80s :)

[Bache Jordan]

BJ, it is a car from 80s :)


so what makes it so special then?

I must say I am not a car expert

[IK COP]

BJ, I am a fan of old VW. The new ones are fine but they are not what VW used to stand for.
When you drive a real VW (1978-1992) you would feel the road. As VW used to say you become one with the car and the road. The new ones are too soft, too quite, too luxury for my taste.

I use my jetta for racing so it has to have a stiff frame yet be as light as possible. 1985-1992 jetta are light and have a better front to back weight ratio.

[Blue]

your right perjad. i watched a car program last year called top gear on bbc and they had a race between all new hatchbacks, golf, ford focus, beetle, etc and the old mk2 golf. the old golf beat them all in a straight 1 mile race, first off the line and first to finish.

[Blue]

fan i never knew you had a civic hatchback?

do you do any stunts in it? handbrack turns or anything? iv tried doing some stunts in my car when the road is wet and its quite a fun car to drive. i love the honda handbrakes.

[Shahe Abee]

Perjad it seems you are reluctant to post your times. And why is that? Can you atleast tell us what the engine has or what you have done to it?

[IK COP]

I dont drag race, I can only guess what my 1/4 mile time is!
you either setup the car for straight line racing or for road track racing.
on track I have had faster times than Ford Mustang 5.0, few vettes, VW VR6, lots of Hondas, etc. At same time I have lost to Ford Escort :wall:

track racing is 90% driver 10% car. Power means nothing if your car cant take the tunrs.

My engine in stock form produced 75 wheel horse power and 90 Wheel torque. After many many modification I have pushed it up to 122 wheel horse power and 140 wheel Torque.

note that Wheel horse power is different than what companies advertise.
A car with advertised 100hp is pushing about 70 to 75 hp to the wheel.

for example I have seen a Honda SIR rated at 160 hp pushed 120 wheel hp with exhaust intake chip etc. on a mustang dynometer.

[fan_1981]

Blue,

i used to have a honda prelude, but i had an accident a few years ago, and had to get a new car. The prelude was great, so i had to get another Honda.

i used to try tricks in the prelude- hand brake turns were awesome, especially because preludes have four wheel steering. Unfortunately, i use to think driving fast all the time made me cool, so now that i've "matured", my civic is my "settling down for awhile" car. Its my "drive me to the train station" and "take me out on weekend" car.

PS. i really dont know why hondas stopped making preludes- they were the best cars. if you can get your hands on one, get it!

[Blue]

im sure they were good cars, iv seen a few about but not many. i think im gonna hold on to this civic for about a year, im happy with it as im sure you are with yours. and if for no other reason, ill keep it just to piss perjad off :beer:

the new civics S and type r look really nice. i was having a look at them in my local honda showroom the other day and they look sweet. maybe a little too big for a hatchback.

one thing iv come to realise since driving my own car is that my car cant be just about looks, there has to be some performace and power. i used to think any car that look good will do but once your sitting in the car what do you see? just the sterring wheel, the dashboard and the speedometer.

having said thatmy next car will be either a lamboghini murchialago or a aston martin vanquish :D

[IK COP]

Blue admit it, you want that Gti 1.8T so bad :cool:

[Blue]

if i had the money, i would have chosen the golf for sure. but you know, i think i made a good choice going with the civic for first car.

perjad i know deep down you like hondas, dont deny it. i bet when your vw gang is not around you secretley hire a honda and drive around town ;)

[fan_1981]

Dont go to the bad side, Blue!

Stay wiht the goodies. Has your honda failed you? Will it fail you?

PS. Perjad, you seem to talk so much about Hondas, i'm beginning to agree with Blue- you're a closet Honda fan! Come out of the closet, its ok, we're the good guys.

[Blue]

Stay wiht the goodies. Has your honda failed you? Will it fail you?


nope, the little bugger always delivers.

and i agree, perjad its time you came out the kelozet :D

all together now..HONDA! HONDA! HONDA! :iran2:

[Bache Jordan]

sorry I said it before but between audi and VW I would definitely chose audi.

I prefer A3 to golf. and A4 convertiable and S4 are great too.

[Ali_Khalili]

In terms of Audi and VW, since Audi is owned by VW AG, it can be said that they are very similar in terms of aspects relating to their cars, but you cant really state which is the better manufacturer - it depends on the model. For example, VW have the R32 Golf which outpaces and outhandles the similar class Audi S3, along with costing less and having similar build quality. The Audi A8, however, is better handling and quicker than the equivilent VW Phaeton in the similar price range, so it all really depends on the car models individually. :)

[Shahe Abee]

Oh aite I understand now Perjad. Lol sorry. :)

[IK COP]

Ali is right on the money. I am glad we got another Vdub fan on IK.

Audi A3 and Golf use the same platform, some of their engine options are the same as well. one major difference is suspension. Audi is using independent rear suspension where as VW still uses trailing arm solid axile.

Vw are chepaer and have less option which makes them lighter.

[IK COP]

this is the original pocket rocket that started the hot hatch craze. All the hatch in today's market are offspring of VW original design and thinking.


Long lived the originality.

[Hamidoo]

Blue admit it, you want that Gti 1.8T so bad :cool:

AGHA CHERA HARF TO DAHANE BACHE MIZARI?

Blue be strong man....enjoy your Civic until I buy you a nice real American muscle car.

[Blue]

you tell em hamidoo.

perjad if i can learn to love both honda and vw then im sure you can too, come on, i wanna hear you say it...say you love honda, japan and japanese people!

[IK COP]

Blue, once you ride the real thing no soda can would do. :rotflmao:

VW fans and Honda fans simply dont mix.
Kinda like American muscle boats and performance orianted import cars. <Hamidoo take note>

[Blue]

well, one thing we can all agree on is that its all about the driver!

[Shahe Abee]

Arite the winners:

Best Car of IK: The E200 Kompressor

Sorry guys, that car is just hot.

Honorable Mention: Perjads VW lets just say that thing is an animal.

[Blue]

why does the benz win? for looks? or performance?

i want a florida reccount!!

[Shahe Abee]

It wins for looks and performance and cuz its a Benz.

[Ali_Khalili]

Cheers guys :beer:

Here are some more pictures I took this morning -

http://img2.exs.cx/img2/4945/E200-1.jpg

http://img5.exs.cx/img5/9766/E200-2.jpg

http://img4.exs.cx/img4/8070/E200-3.jpg

[Shahe Abee]

Congrats, the Kompressor is Supercharged rite? Give us some engine specs please .....

[Ali_Khalili]

It sure is,

Its a 1.8 litre Alloy-Block inline four engine, with a compact supercharger, or 'Kompressor'. The car is rated at 170 ps at 5700 rpm, with 244 Newton Meters of torque from 2500 rpm to about 5000 rpm. The car is different to the previous generation E200K as it uses a smaller capacity engine, which is both lighter and torquier than with the previous 2.0 version used on the W210 E-class (which was basically a the standard 2.0 Mercedes block with an added supercharger towards the end of the model year).

With more than twenty thousands kilometers of mileage on the clock, I have recorded a sprint to 100 km/h in 8.67 seconds with one accompanying passenger and a stopwatch. I have not come close to achieving the car's potential top speed due to the strict speed limit laws and enforcement locally, but its claimed at upwards of 240 km/h or so.

The car is fairly nimble in terms of handling and very predictable, probably due to the wide-section tires (225 front and back) as well as revised suspension tuning and the fact that the E200K is unofficially the lightest current E-class. The steering is a tad light though when driving enthusiastically.

Perjad - I like your concept of a VW Jetta racecar! From the pictues you seem to have minimised body roll in cornering, but yes those three wheeled tight corners are trademark VW entertainment. Considering the removal of weight within the car, how is the handling on the limit with the stock wheels?

[IK COP]

Ali jaan, if you got the automatic tranny then your acceleration is around 8.0 sec. My jetta will have your Benz for snack :)

Ps. Not a good idea to post your Lic plate.

Ali jaan, I am using race springs for front and back with 28mm rear sway bar.
The springs are rated at 440lb for front and 280lb for rear. The stock spring rate is 120lb front and 90 in the back. Currently I am using Falken azenis tires on 14" (pre 1985 golf )wheels. 14" wheels are the smallest wheel size I can fit over my front brakes. So far I dont see any reason to upgrade my wheels and tires. May be in future I will find a set of 14X9 wheels but not any time soon. since I removed most of the weight from the back of the car, it tend to understeer more. Next week I am going to relocate my battery to the trunk and remove my front sway bar. I hope this will balance it out. Overall it handles very good.

[Shahe Abee]

The Azenis are good tires. If anyone needs hard to find auto parts, ask me. I work at a Tuner Shop which also has Muscle Car parts, and I could get them to you for my cost.

[Shahe Abee]

Pooyas accord coupe is pretty hot too. Another honorable mention. Are you going to do anything to the engine?

Horrible Mention goes to Blues Civic for not only being photoshopped, but also being photoshopped with ugly rims :)

[Blue]

thats just uncalled for man!

dont be surprised if the next time you log in your no. of posts is cut by half! i have friends in high places :cool:

[Shahe Abee]

Lol you got friends in high places ..... I dont got a crappy civic. Just playing man. I dont have anything to brag about so I shouldnt be talking.

[Ali_Khalili]

Perjad jaan, thanks for the specs. I agree, the Mercedes is more sprightly than outright blistering in terms of straight line performance, no doubt your VW will be quicker.In top end, however.. :cool: You might want to lower your front spring rate considering that you are running more power to reduce attributes of understeer and torque steer if removing the front anit-roll bar does not. I also know some people here running high-horsepower Civic VTis with larger section tires in the front, 225 x 16 for front with 196 x 16 for rear, to reduce push in tight corners. Do you have any dyno bhp figures for your jetta?

BTW - I dont mind posting my license plate :) I do block out pictures of my freinds' cars for their privacy, but for mine I dont mind if people identify it!

[IK COP]

ali jaan, next time on I am on track I will get a better idea how the removal of front sway bar has effected the handling. running different size rubber is not a wise thing on a front wheel drive car. It will make the car unpredictable. It may be good for drag racing tho!

Last time on dyno It pushed 120 Hp and 130 torque to the wheel. with 20% powertrain loss. It weighs around 2000lb.

[Blue]

thats it, im taking out my spare tyre and jack in the boot to speed things up!!

[IK COP]

Thats a start. Now remove that engine and drop in a VW 2.0 16v engine change your tranny to a close ratio 4K out of a 84 GTI and you will be cooking... then again you can save yourself a lot of trouble by selling the soda can and buy a real Euro pocket rocket "the mighty GTI" :) :beer:

[Blue]

maybe my next car will be a golf. iv heard bad things about the new golfs (2000-2004), so maybe a 96 reg gti or something. im really looking forward to driving a more powerful car than the civic. i mean the civic is fine for the city but on the open road its a bit of a turtle.
