Thanks for the input guys... Leaving the ignition aside, would it be considered legal to sub out the electronic (digifant style) injectors for the CIS mechanical units?
The version of 034 that I...
Just checked it out... That scirocco looks like a great deal, but I'd still like to consider some options on the other car with the prod cage. Does anyone else have any experience with this type of...
>>No rabbits or roccos in IT period. Only the golf and jetta had Digi.
By this do you mean that something like megasquirt wouldn't be legal for rabbits/scirocco's in ITC since they never had digi...
A friend is looking at a production VW for use in ITC. The problem is that' the cage has some tubes (connecting to the front towers) that wouldn't be legal in IT.
Can these bars simply be cut...
Can anyone summarize the new clarification on the ECU rule for IT cars or point me to the discussions here in these forums? I just looked for a while in the archives and can't find the info.
I...
I just got the chance this weekend to try a welded diff in the rabbit. I read a lot of info here and talked to a few other racers before installing it, but I'm glad I did.
I was initially...
Thanks for all the input!
Tim... Out of curiosity, how would the setup change with a welded diff? Would the car have to be softer in the front (that's what I'd heard) so that the car...
Thanks for the input so far. Mark:
Fortunately, the car has 8" length (2.5" ID) springs at both front and rear so that'd be possible. I thought about buying a whole range of springs from...
So... we're trying to sort out the suspension on the "new" ITC rabbit. I've been doing a bit of reading here in the archives and talking to some folks about spring rates / bars. There seems to be...
Does anyone have access/links to any of the original VW documentation for the 1.6's? I was thinking maybe I could locate a stock torque curve diagram or something like that.
For those of you...
Would anyone happen to have a dyno plot or torque curve from a 1.6L engine? We're trying to get a few things figured out on the new (to us) '77 Rabbit ITC car.
I've got a few 1.8 plots...
A friend just sent me the link to the auction...
Quick question for everyone... Would it be legal to equip that car with an 8V and run it in ITB? Do the rules allow for that specific year to be...
Yep, Raymond.... Still here. The coupe will be out again this year. I'll be helping at the IT-SPECtacular since it's my region and might have friends doing the PDX.
I'm working on some...
Thanks, Steve... Anyone else?
Which are the tough corners to watch out for? I've got the map in front of me. I might be able to head up for the test day on Friday to get some seat time so...
I'm planning on going to the "Fall Frolic" double regional at the end of this month at IRP (now called O'Reilly Raceway Park. Anyone have any in-car video from that track? I hear there are some...
Raymond...
I looked and looked for Bilsteins for the Coupe. Turns out they don't make a sport shock right now for these cars, so I managed to source some used Bilstein sport front shocks made for...
I know what you mean. I talked with another racer running a coupe (quite successfully) and he had his setup somewhat opposite. He had very stiff springs in the rear (800# or so), a rear sway and...
Raymond... I'm so sorry about that. I answered that post just before leaving for work and somehow your brother's name popped into my head. Not sure why... I've never talked to him or even seen him....
Jared... Welcome. (I recognize you from motorgeek).
Stephen has been helping me set up my ITB Coupe and I ran it for the first time this past weekend at Mid-Ohio with the new "type-Blethen"...
Very interesting idea... One question though... How do you route the hoses going into the shirt. Do they snake down your back or something? When my driving suit is zipped up, there's no way for...
No experience with those specific models, but I do have a Ryobi cordless impact driver. It's the model from the "One +" series of 18V tools and it works great. About $55.
I use it with a 1/2...
Not sure I'll be ready to run one in 2007, but I'd definitely want to be part of the process. You can email me privately with whatever questions you'd like and I'll respond to the best of my...
I need some clarification if possible. I'm looking at installing some camber plates to my ITB Audi Coupe. I've been reading the GCR and in section 5d, it says:
"If slotted plates are used, they...
I completely agree...
Biodiesel is a bit different that straight waste vegetable oil (WVO)...the two are often confused. While it is possible for practically any diesel to run filtered WVO,...
That's true... I didn't think about that part. I've been making my own biodiesel for a while now and I could have put that into the car as well. I'd imagine they'd scratch their heads about fuel...
