I run Mikuni 44's 2.0l 8valve, 285 cam, about 12.5 AFR (wideband), runs around 1380 up the back straight at Mosport on good days.

Certainly a good tip. Thanks... I'll try that the next time out... at this point I'm probably looking to replace the suspension anyway... I suppose I can do some just for the heck of it research on...

I'm in the market for a new suspension for my Mk2 Jetta.

I'd like to get something good. coil over, double adjustable, rebuildable, etc. Possibly if the opportunity exists, go remote resevoir. ...

Kirk, great job. Great work on the transmission in that short of a time - you'll rival Audi soon enough! (Been there done that at a race weekend too when Matt and I toasted a 5th gear once at...

Definitely Cool! Good luck!

I bow to your google skillz! I was unable to locate that webpage... Normally, I'm rather good at google... but this one got me evidently.

Thanks!

The local bearing supplier in Ottawa can't seem to find one... I searched the web, but there's nothing obvious on how to look for bearing cross references. Not like any of the manufacturers provide...

Now of course, because I need a new set of bearings, I call up the local bearing suppliers in town. SKF isn't currently producing the SKF:GEH 17C bearing, and there is no stock (certainly none in...

Didn't loose any circlips. That's all tight, the bearings just rattle like a box of chiclets now. Thanks for the support - though I've already got the bearings ordered here in town.

The SKF GEH 17C bearing is a maintenance free spherical bearing. The bearing carriers (aluminum) are pressed in to the OEM bearing location. The bearin is held in to the carrier with circlips, and...

Anybody else here run the rear axle bearings? Aluminum carrier, with the SKF GEH 17C bearings in them? I got a set from Bildon, and they are already loose after one season. I'm talking really...

Hmmm... He's got those unobtainium/expensivium alloy stealth LCAs. ;)

Not sure if you need 4deg of camber. I run about 3.25 deg of camber on my Jetta with Toyo RA-1s, 205/50/15s. What makes you think you need 4? Start at three, and then use a pyrometer to check your...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I think I will agree. Teeing the rear lines, particularly if they are still dual diagonal will eventually result in complete brake failure with a leak anywhere in the...

Agreed. pic 1 and 2 work, 3 doesn't do anything.

... but the search didn't provide the answers I was looking for.

I've seen some threads discuss the differences between keeping the OEM diagonal braking line steup, vs having the fronts on one m/c...

No worries. I have a set of G60 Corrado spindles and brakes on the car now, and I have a second set of spindles, carriers and calipers in the spares box also from a Corrado. So I don't have to...

Good info there. From ETKA yesterday I was unable to find a girling brake setup for an A2 G/J - likely because I wasn't specifically looking for the 16V. Upon closer look, you are Correct. Only...

Quick question. Do you use an extra oil pan gasket with those? Right now we use a ABA windage tray in our 2.0 ABA. A scraper would go on top of that, but then I suspect one needs another gasket to...

Looks like Honda is dropping support of the Canadian Honda/Michelin series for '06

Okay... two attachments from ETKA screen captures. One is a Mk2 brake setup - the one with the funky spindle with the little wings for the pads. The next is a Mk3 Golf setup (which is similar to a...

Okay... didn't know. most people I see when they swap to 'rado brakes take the spindle too.

Now another question... But what do you do with the pad carriers that are integral to the early A2...

Sure, either way that works. lots of options:

1. make a ball joint extender that clamps on to an existing ball joint and goes in to the spindle.

2. use the OEM a-arm, but replace the ball...

At least for the Corrado brakes I have the sliders for the 11" brakes are in the spindle, then the caliper gets bolted on to the sliders. On my old '85 GTI it had those wonky sliders with those...
