ebay item: 200217848105 I'm pondering them for a street car of mine... but 205's? Bah. 205's really don't need 7", do they? Anybody out there live in 14" tire...
I could really use those as a track wheel for my Time Trial car. If anyone else wants them let me know, so that we don't compete with each other for no...
Go for it! They're a bit sticky-outy on offset for my Quantum Syncro,?which has loverly sterning feel right now.? (Some days it thinks it's rwd. Well, make...
The VW's have been breeding in my back yard again, like.. umm.. well.. rabbits… except what popped out looks something like a Scirocco. It's kinda smelly,...
So, I'm wanting to autox my turbodiesel rabbit this summer. I already have bilstein sports (got fronts for stupid cheap brand new), and am planning on buying...
... I won't get into springs or shocks. The factory K bar is a wunnerful device, but is, alas, a bit of a problem for car classing. What class do you plan to...
Why I think you will need stiffer springs I think you should first run 1-2 events and see what the car does or doesn't do well. Being a diesel I would think...
Ok. Well, for a little while until I can afford the gc's, I'm going to just run stock springs with a coil cut off, and bilstein sports. Not the best idea, I...
I keep fixing my 16v - an incident with a tyre wall AND the 240SX that I'd spun to avoid at the end of last season and a chance encounter with a spinning MR2...
Search function is your friend:). This one comes up a LOT. In a nutshell: 400#F front springs 22ishmm front swaybar 600#R rear springs no rear swaybar Camber...
I spent about 1/2 hour searching the other day, and couldn't come up with much. That's why I asked. It seems like everything I'd come up with were cars for...
... Ebay is your friend! A 1" thick diameter steel bar is a 1" thick diameter steel bar, no matter whose decal is on it. Probably any ol' brand will do, as ...
... Let me reiterate: Street Mod? I have no clue! Hopefully somebody else here can opine accurately on K-bar stress bar in SM. K bar... that's a decent,...
... diameter ... will do, as ... Oh, contraire, not all steel is the same. I purchased a setup from "Boy Surely Insults" everyone for my jetta. I heard he...
Oh, contraire, not all steel is the same. I purchased a setup from "Boy Surely Insults" everyone for my jetta. I heard he used regular 1018 or 1020 steel and...
Heh heh...I have one of those bars sleeping in my garage as well... Good for prying tree stumps and such. You can get away with lighter spring weights -...
For now...both, with the stock 16V or "lowered" springs you might have currently. Without getting too long winded, you want to control body roll and weight...
... Clarification: In any class but Stock, you can use any danged sway bars you want. Aftermarket, home made, factory upgrades. I'd aim for aftermarket, the...
I am trying to collect as much data as possibel on DSP cars and FSP cars. Would you be willing to share some info about your car? Year / make / model / class /...
Thanks again for the help at the Atl Doublecross. Not everyday you get to see 2nd gear shred in a VW transmission. I could have lived forever and not seen...
I foolishly asked this question on VW Whoretex and have started a miniature war about whether or not to use a cooling fan and so forth - amusing as it is, I'm...
You shouldn't need a fan while on track. The cars movement should be enough. Make sure that the water flow through the radiator is not restricted. Use a...
Disclaimer: I have ZERO road racing experience! In the Street Mod car I have a huge (11"x9"-ish?) B&M oil cooler and the stock Mk1 Scirocco radiator, with a...
I dont know if this is helpful or not but the side by side dual fans off of a B3 Passat will work on an A2 radiator and should keep things plenty cool- I ran...
... You're talking the rear, sucking-fan shroud? What about the plastic ( ) shrouds on each end of the radiator? I vote with Neal -- little flat fan on...
Hello road racer! Watter wetter is ok but 40below works MUCH better! (I use it in my 3rd gen RX7 400hp and we race in the desert heat. first time I saw the...

Another note about radiator shrouds: I tend to belive in them smart guys at the factory knowing what they're doing. My other ride (other than The One True...
HI, I have an 88 16V that I autox/ PDX, and was having the same problem. First, look where the coolant temp sensor is located. It is directly above #4 exhaust...
