After this weekend at Blackhawk, I'll get around to making a batch of them. I can do fiberglass in most colors and carbon fiber ones for a bit more. I've sold them for $100 a pair with mounting...

No, those are custom made
Here's what we use. These are fiberglass and blow into the center of the ventilated disk, and also just above the outside of the disk. Hose runs above control arm and below drive shaft. Not a lot of...
Porsche first went 0W40 synthetic on the 993. I don't believe they changed any bearing clearances from previous models. The bottom end is basically the same since, right up to the GT3 models. They've...
we ran the fuel cell in the stock location. Just remove the stock tank and get a 8 gallon rectangular cell (bigger if it will fit) trim the hole to fit and steel straps (welded tubes is better) to...
Sorry for the hi-jack

Here are some pics of our Ex-trans am Beetle. this car actually beat the Treuhaft car in the '68 Mid-Ohio Trans am, finished 5th to Treuhafts 8th. We ran nationals from '76-'80. Car is still owned...
When I was running IT with the battery located in the stock L/F location (VW Scirocco), I used a standard Killswitch with alternator ciruit located about 6in. from the battery. I had made mounting...
If you want to keep CV's then don't make 90 degree turns in the paddock either.
If anyone needs one welded, email me, I can turn it around pretty fast if you want.
We've used welded for the last 13 years with good results. As far as the "popeye" arms, I'd suggest a larger steering wheel. A 14" should do the trick. Poor man's power steering.
VW/AUDI sells lube for their racks. It's on the parts CD. I don't know the cost, however, I've used a good quality grease (Castrol) which has worked fine. The main thing is keeping dirt out of the...

The ballast resistor is only necessary when the ignition system uses points.
I would think ETKA from VW parts should be able to at least give you the part no. of the correct flywheel. Although I'm not sure if it will tell you the dia. But it will show how many bolts hold on...
Is there a WOT switch that could be closed all the time?
They are referring to bump steer. As the suspension moves up (bump), The arc of the control arm moves the lower pickup point(balljoint) inboard. this affects toe-in as that happens. The remedy is a...
That is how they are. Must be a cheap casting. Should not be a problem.
I had that same delima. I took a strip of flexible sheet plastic ( like used for air dams) about 9 in. x 1 in. drilled a hole on either end. Fold in half so the holes line up and slide the rod...
No, they are not like the Golf control arms. They are cast aluminum versions of the Rabbit control arms. The ball joint is cast into the arm and is larger dia. than the Rabbit ball joint.
The engine can come out the top. A few more things need to be done though. The clutch and bellhousing should be disconnected and the radiator should be removed. The engine needs to come up and...
True, but there is a lot of labor involved, fitting +.040 pistons and honing. Truing up the journals and rod prep and balancing. Crank/rod/piston balancing. Head flowing, valve guide sizing and valve...
I am currently removing my 12 gal. fuel safe cell from my 84 GP scirocco. The 12 gal. works nicely for the ITB setup. I have it mounted pretty much in the stock location. If youre interested I can...
Bildon or shine can get A1 struts
The cars (2) were built by McKee engineering for Bill Scott racing in Libertyville Il. The motors were by Bertils whose shop was on the premises of Scott VW at the time. I'm pretty sure at least one...
