... OK ok ok... The CA Digi1 cars are certainly emissions oriented designs. I've switched to the dual outlet 2.0 16v setup, new cat, & a 2.25" cat back & it's...
Get ready for the upcoming season now! These parts are off of my old 1987 VW Golf GT. They were replaced with a header. If you are on a budget, the butt dyno...
Dammit... OK, this _is_ the last Digifant post by me... The California cars run better and more consistently. Folks, digifant II cars don't run sluggish and...

Would anybody care to discuss suspension setups for H-Stock on the A1 chassis? Other than shocks and front bar, what can you do? My initial reaction would be...
Hey guys, I'm coming out of a long period of inactivity...i'm looking for some real lightweight wheels, preferably panasports. Does anyone know where I can get...

Amen, Panasports aren't light, even the ones stamped "RACING ONLY" aren't super light. I think they're leaning towards the road race crowd who do more beating,...
I am with CP on this. Keizers are soft. I have Weld and Panisports. The Panasports are 3 pounds heaver than the Welds. You may want to look at Bogart in San...
Hard to find good wheels, it seems. Weld won't build wheels like the ones that Doug and I own any more (I nearly begged them at PRI, but they really, really...

Thanks Iain. Did the car rotate very well though? I have never driven on real R compounds (just azenis), but I imagine that understeer could be debilitating?...
... Hi Mick - it was not bad at all, actually. It was not as grippy as a good FSP car, naturally, but it was really pretty drivable - you could not YANK the...
I ran in HS last year in my 84 GLI. I have attached links to two movies of my runs. The car wasn't terrible to drive but as Iain said you have to make smooth...
Iain will have better advice than me but my HS Jetta (with basically the same setup as Iain's GTI below) would only rotate when I had mismatched tires on the...

These parts are for the 1.8 liter 8 valve motors, for the A2 (Golf/Jetta) chassis. Don't know if they will work for 16v or for A1's. Dual outlet exhaust...

I am fairly sure the rocco never came with a 2H transmission. (Yours may very well have one, but that does not make it legal) Also, in '83, I believe it did...
Not to mention that it sounds like the car is not stock legal as is. If it does have the transmission indicated and 1.8 it would be a good base for a regional...
