Doug,
You're building an ITB Golf II. Why are you even asking this question? It wouldn't be legal in the class, although I was once accused of running a mechanical head. It seems to be the standard...

I built my last GTI without doing anything extreme and it was 100 lb underweight with the tank close to empty. Cage was built with 1.75 DOM 0.90 wall to keep me feeling warm and fuzzy about my safety...

If I were to switch from a front wheel drive car with a Quaife to one with a welded diff, what would I expect it to behave like? What would be different from what I'm used to?

Anybody racing one of these things? I know of one for sale and on paper it makes sense,150 lb. or so more than my GTI and 132 HP instead of 108. Do you race one or against one?

I never take the things apart because they're such a pain. If the covers aren't ripped I wouldn't give them a second thought and I haven't needed to replace one in several seasons. I've found it's...

Paveway,
This forum is full of newbie requests like yours. The answer is always the same; "Buy an Existing car". Unless you really get a charge out of doing the construction yourself, this makes a...

Bill Miller,
I might have an interest in the 026G after I look and see what's currently in the motor.Is your spare new or used? Everyone, ...

Travis,
I've seen a hydraulic G-grind listed from Techtonics.It had different duration and lift from stock. It may be one they've created, too. BSI also sells a version. Mine is currently the...

I need someone to settle a "discussion" that a friend and I are having about A2 eligible cams. He says that the hydraulic G-grind can be used in a RD code engine. My belief is that G-grinds are not...

Tim, it's got a Quaife and 4.25 final drive.

Joe,Let's try again.I run springs at 500 front/600 rear, shocks are revalved Bilsteins to match,no front bar,a Shine and a Chevy Caprice rear bars,front 1/8 toe out, 2.5 deg camber and rear at 1/8...

Thanks for the info. BTW it's for a street car ,not an IT racer.

Bill Sulouff or anyone else,
What does the 020 transmission with code 4K come out of? I know where I can get one with a 16V pressure plate for a decent price.Cable or rod shift?

Thanks
Warren

Thanks Bill and Bill,
The local VW wrecking yard wants $850 for a used 16V box and considerably less for anything else and this is to replace the tranny on my street car anyway. So I can put in a...

Not a race question, but I have a 16V 2L with a buggered tranny. What other transmissions will fit. I believe the 2L trans has a larger diameter input shaft than an 8V one, but the ratios are the...

Thanks Bill.

Is the difference in compression ratio between a GolfII and a Rabbit GTI in the head/combustion chamber or in the piston shapes? I'd like to put a solid lifter head and a mild cam on a CIS-E engined...

I've done the same thing with mine and it ran fine. The rack will have power steering fluid in it at all times acting as lubricant.

I use $13 rotors from Murray's all the time. Ran the past season on one pair and there's plenty left to start next season. The pads are Hawk blues and I don't have fade problems or anything else. OEM...

Send the Bilsteins in and have them rebuilt to match the spring rates you have or want to have on the car. My car would porpoise at different points on the track with brand new sports. After...

I've ordered an EGT guage and thermocouple. What temperauture should I see as normal operating range?

Thanks Bill,
Switch and wiring have been fixed,so I'll see if there's any difference at the next race.
Warren

Anybody know what kind of power loss I would experience if the switch weren't working? In comparing notes with another GTI driver on shift points and RPM at various places on the track I concluded...

Take off the front bar and add a rear bar of about 25-28 mm.

Bill,
Does the 4" tube benefit you more as ballast than as a stiffener for the axle? (tongue in cheek) I need 30# or so of ballst and the right side of the rear axle wouldn't be a bad place to put a...
