Several years ago, a friend wanted to install a fuel cell in his IT car. He and I both agreed that the "wording" in the GCR and IT rules was "fuzzy" and not totally clear about the installation of a...
An Improved Touring car can use the factory gas tank; however if a fuel cell is installed, that fuel cell must meet the stated GCR fuel cell FIA specifications.
I know it sounds like a...
That would work but many years ago, Walt Puckett only used the hall effect sensor with a MSD, and the hall effect sensors seemed to have a short life span. I believe he finally installed the control...
FYI, in my diagram of the MSD 6AL, the only wires that connect to the coil are the ORANGE and BLACK wires.
The RED and WHITE wires are attached to "standoffs" or plastic extensions with no...
Joe, I used a Bosch Hall-Effect distributor/ecu on my old WackyWabbit H-Production with a MSD coil & MSD 6AL spark box without a resistance wire. It ran well with no problems.
Cheers, Ryan.
I sold my '78 VW Wabbit SCCA H-Production racer and have these TWO rear cylinders left over. I have no plans to get any more nor sell any more than the two rear cylinders that I currently have.
These German manufactured 17mm rear brake cylinders only use one mounting bolt which is not a problem. I used a similar set on my '78 SCCA H-production Wabbit without any difficulty. This rear...
Yes, they will fit a '84 GTI with no problems. Email sent to you today.
Cheers, Ryan.

Most likely the carbon brushes have worn out, or the armature...
Check the small circular "filter screen" on the inlet port of the CPR. If this filter screen get clogged, then the Control Pressure is wrong.
With the factory setup, the CPR should create about...
Alright the numbers are gc-03037.
The tranny code "numbers" mean that the unit was manufactured March 03, 1977.
It should have the following gear ratios:
GC
1st 3.45
2nd 1.94
If I remember right, you can raise the compression by 0.5 point, fully balance all internals, and port match for one inch the intake and exhaust. Beyond that, you are getting into illegal territory....
Mark, sell me the 020 close-ratio stuff and then use the 02A tranny.
Seriously, I will have to think about this some. An adapter plate could be fabricated to transfer the cable motion to...
Check with Lakeview VW Recycle auto parts in Charlotte.

Check with Bildon. He carried studs in the past. Cheers, Ryan.
The rear trailing arms have one degree of negative camber built in. As the rear trailing arms are inclined upward as the car is lowered, the TOE setting of the rear wheels will be "TOED-IN".

When I install the rear drum or rear disc, I "preload" the rear bearings and then release the preload by slightly backing the large retaining nut. Then I adjust the right amount of torque using the...
Nope, believe the problem is the "flux capacitor".....
Track scanner frequencies are normally published in the Supplement Regulations for the event.
Just a FYI, but John Drake, founder of Drake Engineering, recently passed away. During the Super Vee Series in the late 1970's and early 1980's, Drake Engineering built many of the VW 1.6L Super Vee...
I have been through this problem many times. The VW alternator needs the "Exciter Circuit" to begin charging. On the stock wiring configuration, +12VDC flows from the fuse panel to the ignition...
There are still A1 series Rabbits & Sciroccos available but they are getting more difficult to find, especially a fairly rust-free chassis. A good source of information about the A1 series can be...
