My old GCR has the GTI VR6 listed as an ITS car. Has this changed at all, or is this still the correct class for the car?

I have a set of these solid steering rack mounts and have been putting off installing them, as I haven't checked the GCR if they're IT-legal. Can't remember the name of the place I got them from...it...

Whoa! Seems a lot less complicated than I originally thought. This is definitely an option for me in the next year or so.

Good tips, all...will most likely replace the LF control arm. However, I'm putting the car on a rack to see if (please, no!) it's the unibody that's fubared.

Tim, I'm using poly bushings with the...

I noticed that the left front wheel on my 84 GTI seemed to be much closer to the rear part of the fender well when compared to the right front. Upon measuring the distance from the center bore of the...

Thanks for the tips, Tim & Ian...have verified both cam and ignition timing. Everything checks out okay...I just needed more time in the car to get a feel for her again.

I got to drive my 1.8 8V GTI again after a while (6 months) and it feels slower than what I remember.

Although I drive a higher HP car and/or truck daily and might just be used to having a bit...

There are 3 wires to hook up for the (Autometer) air/fuel ratio gauge that I'm trying to install in my car. I've connected 2 of the 3 so far, the live wire and the ground. I'm hoping to get a bit of...

Kindly send me the list as well, please.

I've seen a few Rabbit GTIs and Golfs with these very wheels. If I'm not mistaken, as long as the wheels are from non-Quattro models, they will have a 4x100 bolt pattern. One example of a non-Quattro...

Hey Dave, it's me, Glenn...ITB #07 (silver Rabbit GTI). I need to ask you something but your e-mail address isn't available. Drop me an e-mail at [email protected]. Thanks!

I've found a healthy bottom end, so i was thinking of just getting new rings for the bottome end, and just do a proper IT head.

Might as well get some money for the pistons, since I gotta get new...

Steve,

I have a brand new set of .040 over (82mm) pistons with rings. Let me know if you're interested.

Doh! Could you please move this post to the "fools who can't read" thread?

Thanks, Bill!

What is the smallest, lightest battery that I can use in my 84 Rabbit GTI? Needless to say, it has to be legal. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Not only that, but there are a lot of $20 words that a culchie (hehe...any paddymen out there?) like me doesn't understand. I wish they'd use words with no more than 3 syllables.

Just sent you e-mail, Bill! Thanks!

Alan,

While my 84 GTI's engine is being rebuilt, I'm fixing some banged-up body parts as well. Here's my list:

driver's side fender
metal trim piece, driver's side
lower half of airbox
