Replied, thanks for the interest.

I'll do $3600 (non negotiable) for anyone that can come get the car this weekend.

Thanks, replied. Updated price.

2001 Volkswagen GTI GLS 1.8t

The Background
I'll start by saying that this car needs some TLC and is priced accordingly, so I intend to be completely...

Facepalm, dickface.

How on earth will we stomach the extra $0.40/gal for 105 octane fuel?

Also, a 55gal drum of E98 is like $200.

I don't know. Seems like a non-issue.

Looks like there are Amery events scheduled for June 9 and August 25. I'm sure they're subject to change until the 'official' email comes out. When that happens, I'm sure somebody will post the flier...

Yep, the garage is a bonus.



Oh, we know all why you're really increasing power.

:beer:

Yep, that's how it works. Not limited to the automotive industry.

Cheap China aluminum sucks.

Also, read this. Then read it again. Now, conduct the rest of your life accordingly.

Yep.

Meh, I can almost guarantee that nobody on air rolled in with less ground clearance than me last year. I'd just leave them combined and let the air ride guys do whatever they want. Plenty of really...

The difference in displacement is negligible. 15cc or something. They'll remove 0.125mm (.005in) from the cylinder walls. I just mic'd a post-it on my desk to .12mm.


I'll pack it up and stash...

If you insist. Standard bore pistons are 99.5mm. Despite using a brand new block, I'm planning on going 99.75 in order to better control PTW clearances. A lot of internet people cringe at the thought...

I should have clarified. A rear-accessible battery/alt cutout (push to kill) in the rear is required in a lot of types of racing, especially when you've relocated the battery. Additionally, I've been...

Just another picture dump. Go things welded up.

My understanding is that as long as you return a car that looks and feels like the one you took possession of, you're fine. That basically just means hold onto your stock parts. I've always thought...

Check out the sidewall on his outside tire. Awesome.

Yep, we're on the same page. I shouldn't have even quoted your comment in the first place. My comments were directed more towards the folks around here that have never done more than install...

Yea, you obviously care more about this than I do. Forget it, sorry for striking a chord.

For what it's worth, though. I wasn't/wouldn't be the one posting those cars; I don't care for them.

I think it's a different car. You should paint this one, though. Talk to Chad. :cookie:
