I have an '83 ITB GTI that I have been tossing around the idea of building to a "C" Rabbit because the car really isn't competitive with the newer chassis' that abound in "B". An ITGTI class would be...

Eliot, fill me in on your weekend at I.T.Spec. Still have the 1.6? Tempted to build the '83 ITB into a C. Miss racing, but have to find a job first - if ya get my drift. Hope to hear from you...
My employer, Chrysler, has decided that my skills are needed at the Twinsburg, Ohio plant. All I know about Twinsburg is it is north of MidOhio on 71. I will be going there by myself due to my...
Thanks for the reply. I looked in the new GCR and didn't see the VIN paragraph, either, but then my eyes aren't what they used to be.
Are we still tied to the VIN rule?
Bill Suloff,
Refer to the picture in reply 14 of this thread. I am working with an A1 axle and have the following question. Where would/did you locate the opposite end of the toe link?
Scott,
I haven't seen anyone mention a particular type of material for gusseting a cage. Gussets in my cage are nonexistant and that will be dealt with now that my season is over. My question...
I might be better off to keep the car in B and find a good tuner who knows the injection circuit. CIS is pretty easy to work on, start tossing in more electronics and my pea brain overheats.
1.6L motor, CIS, 4 speed, radiator support, tailights, 13's, brakes, front fenders/grill, and bumpers. What did I omit in building an '84 shell to a '79?
I hope the weather is great for the race weekend and everyone gets to load their cars on the trailers with all four corners on 'em. I can't make it as the IRP concrete got my racecar in May and the...
Sandro,
I put an extension on my airbox with a piece of 3" aluminum round air duct, cut to ground plane angle, that terminates just below the radiator airflow. My logic was to attempt to draw...
Thank you, gents, apparently I do have a dog that will hunt - if trained properly.
EDIT - don't be so quick to remove that undercoat. Make sure you need to lose the weight first. That is a great place to leave weight should you need it.
Chris,
My C Rabbit and I weighed in at...
Just throwing this out to all - Shwah, Tristan, Santos - and anyone else who campaigns a Vdub. I have documented on the board the fact that my ITC Bunny met it's demise at IRP this past May and has...
Tom,
I thought perhaps I was the only one dealing with the burnout issue. Good to know (I guess) there are others in the same boat.
My ITC Rabbit took a fatal turn into the concrete at...
For those of us who for whatever reason cannot be there, please post qualifying/race results as soon as possible. It would be great to one day have access to T&S live via the net at the Championship...
Kirk/Dave,
Thanks for your response to my inquiry. I found new shafts online at Advance for $70 each, so I will order two sets. Hate to miss the IT Spec this weekend, but there are other fish to...
My next "sprint" gearbox for the Golf will have a spool.
Kirk,
Any particular reason for the spool? Rotational mass?
I ran my first race with a welded unit a couple of weeks ago and loved...
I need a complete L/R axle set for my '84 GTI, I'm in the Indy area. Thanks for your time.
I bought a '98 Saturn SC1 w/ a 5 speed for a daily driver. The shifter is rather balky, I assume due to age and mileage (187K). What is the best remedy to correct the problem? Thanks for your time.
Steve,
Any word from IRP about the open track session on Friday? Hours and $$? Thanks.
Tim,
As I was looking at the spec line for the 1.7 I noticed the bore/stroke on the motor and thought to myself "Slow revving motor". At this point, I believe my options are a) Repair my '79, or...
Tim,
'79 bumpers are the 5 mph chrome railroad ties common with period. The GTI that I now have was factory with the al-u-min-ium bumpers. A plain wrapper '84 Rabbit has the railroad ties on it...
Tristan,
Hang in there, the car is looking better all the time. My ITC Rabbit popped the turn 15 concrete at IRP in May, shoved the front end sideways 2 1/2" and twisted the chassis an 1 1/2" L-R...
Greg, Kirk, Dave, Sandro, Rabbit05 (I hope I didn't leave anyone out)
Is there a site, or better yet, an individual that can tell me what will be the difference between the GTI and a garden...
