    I've found that the weight can be carried on the spherical bearings without spitting out the Teflon sleeves if you simply order the bearings without sleeves. They need occasional grease, but are...

    My ITC Scirocco had 650 lb/in front springs, no front bar, 425 rear springs, Shine rear bar. That was after many iterations with fronts between 400 and 750 and rears between 250 and 500. I found...

    I had my sister looking in Cali, but I think she found better things to do. I finally went to Canada and brought back a CHB. I found it in a rusted out Canadian Mk3 1.8 (94 or 95, I believe). Will...

    I always ran the 200mm flywheel in my 1.7L Sciroccos. I believe the 1.7 came with either 190mm or 200mm, but the 200mm is actually lighter. This is because the OD is actually the same for 190/200,...

    I'd guess that VW, Porsche and Audi stem seals are all the same. For VW, yes, we can get Teflon (white), but I wouldn't recommend them since NO oil gets by to lube the guides. The black rubber ones...

    I've run 13", 14" and 15" on my ITB and ITC Sciroccos. The order of my use was 13, 14, 13, 15, so I can only really compare the 14 and 15 to the 13, and not directly to each other. All wheels were...

    Thanks Greg, that is very helpful. The GTI has a 0.838 5th. Thus, your numbers would be equivalent to my running an imaginary 3.99 in the GTI. I can get a 3.94 or a 4.23. Sounds like the 4.23...

    As a point of reference, a knowledgeable friend found that the TT 1-5/8 allowed several more HP than the TT 1-3/4 on a built 2L 8V in the 170hp range.

    Chris is correct. This is Shine's philosophy. In addition (though technically related), the camber change curve only works correctly with level A-arms. That is, with level A-arms, the MacStrut...

    Just a few thoughts:

    1) 1 deg. retard may be good.

    2) The ITCS allows for correcting the timing due to shaving the head to min., etc., but may not allow for "correcting" OEM cam timing (049G...

    Anyone know if a bolt-in A2 (85-92) cage would fit an A3 (93-99.5) well enough? Any opinions on A3 bolt-in cage choices? This is for a low-cost mule that would probably just see W2W ice racing, but...

    I drove a '93 S4 (20V Turbo) the other day. If you can find and use that stock PP, it seemed MUCH stiffer than the 10V version in my old Audi 90. I bet the 20V NA is somewhere in between.

    I saw that chart. Since the gain is proportional across the RPM range, I think it's due to temperature rather than to any differences in restriction. There was probably no heat shielding or CAI...

    With racer's discount, the 4.25 R&P is usually a tad under $500 from the dealer. It's from the AVX box in the Eco-Diesel (early 90's Jetta Mk2 turbo-diesel). I only wish I could find a 5.25 for...
