Other Info: | 1/4 mile at 13.869 @ 103.72- kicked off track for no cage in soft top convertible (keystone raceway, new alexandria PA 9-13-02). This was on 10lbs of boost. Next yr, the car will see 15-20lbs once the tranny is built (ate 3 tranys so far, all on the street w/ higher boost levels), and the cage is put in. @ 10lbs, made 220 whp/240 torque on 248c dynojet. Props goes out to Maroneys foreign auto in smithton, pa for good prices on used parts, Hybridynamics in youngwood, PA for inspiration (they have fast jap cars, need to keep up), and thanks to my friend Scott Haberer (look in the mk1 rabbit g-60 pics) for use of specialty tools, and help when needed. Another big thanks goes out to Justin and everyone who posts at the HARDCORE VW FORUM, finding that site 3 years ago is what got the ball rolling. A big thanks goes out to everyone who said it would never run, or run good. You were the true inspiration. | ||
