Yup - running the Carolina Cup race on Saturday. Something in excess of 65 cars entered, sounds like...

Is Sam catching you?

[Knestis]

Yeah - for the third time in 45 minutes... :|

By the way, I think that there were 77 cars in the CCPS race and 75 of them were ahead of me on the grid. The SRF behind me was pretty impatient on the pace laps.

Hey guys, Fritz finsihed 6th in ITB out of 13. 2:29 best lap I think the Volvo turned a 2:27. All in all not too bad for a car that is overweight, a 3 year old motor, and on RA-1's. Not to mention a rookie driver! I know there is some more time to be found in my driving for sure. Nice pic Kirk!

Nicely done. Now, Pablo and I only have to find something like 20 seconds to catch you...

Fun update - Pablo got his picture in the May issue of Grassroots Motorsports, with the text of an email that I sent to David Wallens this fall.

We have some other fun stuff in the works that I'll be able to share shortly, I think...

Are you allowed to remove those DRLs (daytime running lights)?

Hey, Jason - remember that I need Fast Fred's email or phone number. Or Fred, you can get in touch with me if you see this. I want to learn more about the adjustable rear bar that you got for the MkIII...

Joining back in on this thread... I bought a 96 GTI tonight to build into an ITB car. I'll be doing some heavy stripping in order to get the car to the fabricator by the 20th. What are people doing for removing the poewr steering rack? Does the A2 rack work? Just the start of my questions......JOE

[Bill Miller]

Joe, I'm not an A3 guy, but didn't they all come w/ power steering? If so, you can't remove the rack. If you can, you'd need an non-power A3 rack. If the A2 rack is the same part #, fine. Otherwise, you'll need the A3 part.

BTW, congrats on the new car!!!

What Bill said. I've had a couple of reputable builders say, "Oh, yeah - it's OK to take off the power steering" or "Just loop the hose" but I've yet to see where in the book that is allowed.

According to my local VW parts computer the non PS rack for the A3 has the same part # as the 91-92 A2. for what thats worth

Jerry,

Does that user-friendly computer tell you what model that rack came on?

Does anyone have a spec sheet for an A3 Golf City(the stripper)?

Dave Z

[Knestis]

Does that user-friendly computer tell you what U.S. model that rack came on?

Not being argumentative - I'd love to know the answer, either way.
