I am going to build myself an ITB car, despite a lot of great advice I got from this forum. I know this sounds contradictory, but I really think this is best for me. I plan to use the car as a fun street and autocross car while I develop it for road racing. I have all the tools, garage, air tools, engine hoist, etc. and have been working on cars since I was a teen.
I am looking at used VW's and boy are they cheap ! I am thinking of a GTI rabbit for ITB or scirroco. I dont really care if it is for ITC or ITB, whatever chassis I decide on, I am just going on what I have read on here. Should I go with a 1500cc rabbit or scirroco for ITC, or a GTI for ITB ? Any preferences ? Should I go with an early chassis and then put a GTI motor in it for ITB ? I guess I prefer the 83 or 84 GTI since I think it would make a fun autocross car.
I guess I know to go with one that doesnt have a sunroof and obvious stuff like that.
I do plan to go to a couple of regionals to check out the cars and ask more questions before buying anything.
