    speedlife: just buy my ITB VW gti and be done with it. there may be advantages to other VW's but typically a cost wise a Mk1<Mk2<Mk3 as you would expect.

    Beran and Tom are building a MK4 golf, it will be interesting to see how it does. As Kirk knows there ain't nothin cheap about building a MK3...

    Yea I was looking at an 85' thats in the classifieds section. Former Bilstein cup car? Nice list of spares.

    quadzjr what are you selling?

    Has anyone had much luck tuning CIS on the 85+ MK2? Would you even be able to keep up with a tuned motronic car (as far as power goes)?

    The CIS-E is stupid easy to tune. Yes it can keep up on a lap. Not as much on a single straight.

    The 85-92 8v cars also have the option of using electronic injection. I'm testing that now to see how much more area under the curve can be found versus well tuned CIS-E.

    What are you using? Something like an Autronic setup?

    Alter the coolant temp sensor signal so that the stock system thinks it is cold and gives you more fuel. Simple, cheap, reliable and effective.

    Chris Schaafsma and Michael Reece do REALLy well in the MK2's. They have also put a ton of development in them.

    Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. I think I may want to go MK2 though.
