... Nice Neal!!! How do you think you'll stack up against those monster M3's? Just saw the results from the Packwood ProSolo and our local SM guys that I am...
... I'm sure I'll get stacked up somewhere! Definitely no delusions of grandeur or anything like that. I'd be happy just to sit a the Big Kids' Table for a...
No problems so far. I believe that most of the cracking is due to a change to the alloy that VW seems to have made somewhere around '85 or so, possibly with...
My '76 had some cracking issues around the front core support but a little mig time patched it up. I am keeping a closer eye on it from now on...it is a 30...
Later A-1 Cabrios too. Same chassis. I know from personal experience '85 and later Sciroccos have this problem. The problem does seem to coincide with the...
I don't know about saving weight or not, but they did introduce some sort of new galvanizing or other anti-rust process in that chassis revision too, and it...
Only motor mount problems I've had have been the square trans mount if it is poly. The poly will break, but heard that happens with NA 1.8's. Front mount...
I took the ITB Rabbit to the Dyno guy and had him set the air/fuel at the high RPM range and told him to set the timing for the best torque curve. Get home to...
I've done mostly autocrossing, but for road racing a couple experienced ITB Rabbit guys told me to run 36-38 degrees, which I did with no problems, EGTs were...
... IME, 38ish degrees was best on my GTI when we dynoed it for ignition stuff. I don't remember what 40 degrees did, but we certainly tried it, and if it had...
also remember the flywheel marks may not be 100% accurate unless you set piston 1 to TDC and then mark the flywheel. Ted V ... at ... torque ... degrees ... ...
even so, I doubt I can explain seem welding the chassis as "reinforcement of engine mounts". I'm all for creative interpritation of rules.. but do you think...
What are some good EGT readings? I have an EGT gauge in the car but not hooked up, I guess I will have to get a new "bung hole" to mount the probe. (O.K....
This is a new car and the motor just didn't feel right that's why I took it to the Dyno guy. After getting the air/fuel set right, too lean, and playing with...
I've heard around 1450 is good, over that might be a bit high, I think over 1600 would be indicative of a problem. I always saw at least that on my car, never...
Neal, Where would I look if they've made any changes that allow reinforcement of the engine mounts? The car previously had a piece of angle iron welded to the...
... Heh heh... heh heh heh... my people, they are without EGT! I need sensor for my bunghole! I'd go with what the dyno says, but run an EGT and see if...
... This sounds kinda blah to me. In fact.... quite blah. What car? Motor? Factory cam? I could ask many questions here. I could go on all day. And what...
I suppose you have no vacuum advance on that engine? The stock, normal timing curve on all 8V VWs from '83 on is 6 degrees at idle (plus or minus what the ...
Optimum timing has very much to do with combustion chamber shape, size, number of valves, and many other factors. All '83-up 8V VWs have virtually the same ...
