Man, this list is DEAD. Did everyone stop autocrossing VWs these days, or did Abe's grumpiness scare everyone away? :) Wanted to mention that, even though the...
Neal are you still here? If anyone knows how to modify an Audi 5000 manifold to fit a 4 cyclinder cylinder head please give me the specifics. I have a head...

... Yeah, like Kevin said. My car is going though...well...you know how kids go through that geeky stage as they mature? Pimples. Clumsy, out-of-proportion...
I'm going to ask a REAL tech question! <gasp> OK, we all know the basic stuff about they whys and hows of solid lifters vs hydraulic lifters, but I want the...
Neal, A very little insight on what I think I know about this subject... 1. I believe the hydraulic and solid lifter cams have different base circles. (The...
Neal: Not sure if this answers your question, but the base circle for solid lifter cams is about 1.5 inches, and for hydraulic cams, about 1.34 inches. (Raven,...
Call Collin at Techtonics. He is the one who knows. FWIW, There is nothing inherent about hydraulic lifters that impair the engine's ability to make power. The...
... I went and took a bike ride and thought about this some more. And I know you've heard this from me before, Neal, but you're not the only revving the ...
... Next time your at Peru, and need another driver, just ask! I only live an hour or so away and would be more than happy to warm someone's tires for them....
... Geoff says: We aint racin' at Indy. This is a different sort of sport. I really believe that allot of the go-fast is the driver, but yes, the car has to be...
... Yeah, well... there's a reason for that. ; ) The more power ya gots, the worse these problems all get. Weight transfer. What Neal really needs is three...
I'm still racing my 16v GTi - not autocrossing however, road racing. Admittedly I've been getting slack on writing up my adventures though - something about no...
I will be out of the office starting 05.07.2005 and will not return until 01.08.2005. For questions regarding equity or bond settlement, please contact Line ...

... Oh yes, and it almost RUNS! Rad. Wiring is done, have to do fuel lines, pump, put the header back on, oil, coolant, start, win! Something like that,...

... Z06s, GT3s, and 360 Modenas seem to do just fine with their hydraulic lifters. But, specifically, that exact same lifter your engine uses is found in VW...
... Sure. In their STOCK configuration. How's that relevant here? If it's designed by the engineer to do it from the factory, I sure hope it would do so. If VW...
I think perhaps it is best to leave diesels out of this arguement- a major reason for their low engine rpm is the fact that they have compression ignition....
Neal, buddy, look... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. All the things I've mentioned I sincerely feel are relevant. If you do not see how what I'm saying...
EEks!!! Neal and Abe, maybe you need to use modicons so that people do not think you are seriously comparing diesels to race engines. OOPS! Sorry Jake!!! ...
