Anyone know where I can get an over axle exhaust pipe without resonator for a Golf 2 16V? I'm looking for 2" or 2-1/4" because I don't want the backpressure so low that I lose mid-rpm response.

The addition of an engine stay rod is legal, right? And said stay rod could be a solid link of steel or some other material, or some other kind of damper, right? So why couldn't you make one of the...
I know a few Spec Miata guys who use a climbing strap like can be acquired from REI.

Meets the 2" requirement and is super light.
Finally got around to posting some pictures of my finished product.

$3500 is a good deal for an IT car after you start adding up what it will cost you to go racing. Figure $1000 for coilover kit+shocks (non-race shocks), what, $1500+ for rollcage, trans...
What about this clause regarding the A/C?
Sounds to me like anything A/C related can be removed.
And as far as the melt pads, what about underhood melt pads, i.e. melt pads in the engine...

Talk to Alison in parts for internet/phone sales. :smilie_pokal:
I don't think the stock system has fixed timing, at least not on my '87 16V, unless we mean something different by fixed timing. I believe the Triumph Adler knock box has some kind of electronic...
Yes, but I'm trying to figure out what group size(s) are allowed. The group 41 looks like the battery I had on my Rabbit diesel! Way big for a gasoline engine. Perhaps I should try the group 90...
But then how to get the sensor? Someone previously noted that there is no allowance to add sensors, hence me wondering if the wheel could be put inside the distributor and the hall effect sensor on...
What is the smallest stock battery group size for an '87 GTI 16V? The gti16v.com specs only says this for the battery:
12 Volt, 54 Amp/Hr. (63 Amp. with A/C)
I've currently got a huge group 41...
I've been trying to figure out if there is some way to install an aftermarket/standalone/programmable ECU on say a VW with CIS-E, aka, KE-Jetronic. The limiting factor seems to be the lack of a...
Well, everyone knows that FWD cars inherently understeer, so only having one wheel on the ground at the back helps mitigate that situation, right. :023:
For all early VW enthusiasts, I'm putting together some info to help with an 020 trans rebuild. Initial info is posted to my for now crude website:

Well, I suppose allowing the addition of a MAF sensor, and not just a MAP sensor is a tiny step in the right direction. But I'm disappointed that there was no mention of correcting for the gross...
Thanks for the clarification. It's an '87 GTI, so an early one with lower trim panel. I wasn't sure what else to call it, hence referring to it as a padded knee bar made of hard plastic. :unsure: ...
What exactly constitutes the "dashboard?"
Example, Golf 2 has a kind of lower dash, a kind of knee padding except it's hard plastic. This part is a separate piece attached by screws to the...
The 4.25 R&P I referenced uses the stock 16V 5th gear. It is the 8V 4th gear that must be changed, as noted, because the splines on the pinion are a different size than those on the stock 16V 4th...
Too bad my geographic location is outside the area under discussion.
I'm curious about this point. Since it's allowed by the IT rules why the aversion? Concerns about engine longevity...
Can I change my vote? :unsure: I originally voted yes, but had doubts afterwards, doubts for similar reasons that Jake cited. IT is affordable Club Racing for streetable cars with minimal mods,...
While I agree with that point if all cars were equal, the reality is that some cars are more equal than others. ;) Some cars are clearly overachievers, and some are just not capable of keeping up. ...
My thought on this, stated elsewhere in another thread, is to allow a standardized sensor set (e.g. crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, coolant temp, oil temp, MAF, MAP, WB02) so all cars are on a...
Let me try and open a can of worms, or else someone can tell me I'm totally off base.
On CIS-E, i.e. KE-Jetronic, the DPR, aka EHA is just a fuel pressure regulator. Instead of letting the stock...
