jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 ok, so that would make the real top speed of the gti 130 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 No, it would mean that assuming the correct top speed is 145 the clock would read 155-ish (as yours did). But, does it really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 your right robin (as usual <sigh>) it doesnt really matter but i just wanted to compare the exhaust system were proud of to the stock figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 how can i find out if all new cars nowdays should be sold with eu plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Are you thinking that our beloved Millteks increase the GTI's top speed? Or have I misunderstood you? I know that they can improve efficiency and performance in terms of acceleration and response (only slightly) but top speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 i would certainly think so. simple physics ? the lack of back pressure from the exhaust would allow the engine to produce more BHP. this not only increases acceleration but also amount of power to overcome wind resistance and therefore the top speed. even at 156 the car wasn't redlining.

jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 sorry my mistake... saves the jumping from one thread to another seeing how it lookes like its just me and you here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_s Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 a cosy two-some. mmmmm that will get the guys talking.. especially since we both have 4 pipes one of my mates from spain after sending him a picture of my car, front and back, sent me over a little present.... fecking fluffy dice and to top it off they plug into the cigarette lighter and light up. think his trying to tell me something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Your mate from Spain is just jealous! Thanks for explaining the pressure physics....Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTiMK5 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Red, I would have it checked out because that is too far out in my opinion. When I am seeing 100 on the GPS I see 104ish on the clock. Obviously the above was on private roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
