:werd: When I was car shopping I test drove a GSR. I had probably driven standard for like 30 minutes before that, lol. My mom took it off the lot and then we went to a gas station to switch drivers. It was pretty damn quick, no doubt about it.

Best part was when we got back to the dealership and told the guy that it made a funny noise when it hit like 5500 rpm, lol, he was like "oh you got it that high did you?" hehehehe

I didn't buy it cause it had already been stolen twice.

Out of curiosity, what type of noise was it? Do you remember?

its fun taking my golf to redline!!!11

seriously. i used to have a GSR, and this rivals it. its a 1985 diesel golf, so although it might take a while to get to redline, regardless of the gear, its cool because when you look behind you, you cant see any of the cars

lol

ps: because of the huge cloud of smoke. in case all you honda guys have never driven a diesel

like it was misfiring basically. When we told the salesman about it, he said the previous owner bought new plug wires that were the wrong size and one of them keeps popping off. He popped the hood and pushed it back down. I didn't drive it again after that, but it did appear to not be on all the way.

That's odd. I ask because when I'm engaging VTEC, sometimes I hear a noise that's like metallic shredding. I think I need to have my valves adjusted, but that's surprising because I just did it a few months ago. Something on the VTEC camshaft isn't lined up quite right in there :dunno:
