It's time to separate from our regular 77 Rabbit who served as a grand entrance in amateur motorsports in the past 7 years, we have made numerous track days at Portland International Raceway where Indy cars used for racing , autocrosses, and several tracks at Unfortunately Larison rock Hillclimb car has been sitting for the couple and seasons isn t just used more with other projects in the stable it is time for a new owner.
This car was built by a professional mechanic who worked Volkswagen Independent Auto Werks Werks Bug here in Corvallis at Ensemble, has been carefully restored us all the pieces for this MK1 proven platform.
The engine is a MK2 2 lower 0L end with 1 8L 16 valve head This combination is well-documented to provide immediate 15hp gain on 2 0L 16V configuration database for a total of 155hp Towards 1850lbs he scoots really we opted just for the CIS-E fuel injection as it is easier to work with than the last Motronic configurations Although the engine saw action over the years, it still offers a lot of power, it is still equipped with cams to keep stock reliability and manageability to and from the track.
Exhaust is optimized with a double outlet manifold for reliability and then routed to a Techtonics Running down pipe and an exhaust Techtonics matching Magnaflow muffler Yes, it is noisy, but not a very distinctive manner Ricey allowing four cylinder VW its water-cooled.
The engine is coupled to a light VW Motorsports wheel and combo Sachs clutch that allows the engine rotation with Power Facility is sent by a close ratio transmission 84 GTi transmission makes some noise during deceleration, but since we have built the car there are about 7 years old, I expect it'll be fine for the use of limited way because there is no problem in finding or using all the reports, but may need to recompile at some point to consider.
The suspension is simple but well sorted A Cup HR kit consists of adapted springs and non-adjustable shock for a slight drop and roll tension bars sports upper and lower back are mounted along an attachment of the back leg tower also robust rear stabilizer bar is equipped with all the sockets were refreshed when mounted the ride is very flat, but not last This combination helps to compose a lot of understeer and cornering is easily controlled with a soft throttle response.
The brakes are upgraded discs at the front and a GTi MK2 we retained the rear drums, we had mounted rear discs as well but had problems with blocking in the back due to the weight lightweight Willwood metering valves are installed for fine adjustment.
Two sets of wheels are included The car is currently riding on snowflake GTi rims with tires does not correspond to you and the track are also included alloy aftermarket with used road slicks available for separate negotiation some are very rare, the correct period Intra June 14 German alloys that replicate the appearance of the first Porsche 928 Intra rims rims would be perfect if you are considering this car for a GTi restoration.
The interior is stripped and covered only what is necessary for track work The first Passat steering wheel has a soft feel and texture racing pedals up a Sparco Pro 2000 fixed rear bucket race has for the driver and a seat generic replacement is in place for the instructor both seats have four point harness Schroth the dashboard of stock is removed and a custom console is equipped with gauges to monitor the oil, water, load and revs the engine heater core is still intact but blocked when reactivated to warm inside the cold morning runs rear defroster as lighting instrument most carpets and sound deadening is removed, it is very strong in the car and you hear every squeak, rattle, bang and bump but with headphones, it's just part of the experience.
Outside is a decent 5 footer In all honesty, he Sá poor job of Maaco paint that was applied before the acquisition of the car, but it can be made to look decent as seen in the pictures there has a lot of chips, ding, dimples, and yes Surface rust I tried to capture the worst in photos This car is not ready for the show circuit, but much presentable you make your entrance in amateur motorsport features fender flares GTi and replicas of European aftermarket bumper All lights traffic lights are European H4 s with city lights in the color of the position of adapted GTi airdam park is also equipped.
Good This car is well sorted and should clear inspection autocross, trackday or hillclimb A simple tuneup should be applied, but works fine without impediment and straight tracks Use for road racing or rally you will need equipment additional safety as a roll bar or cage, fuel cell, window protector, fire suppression, etc. But even after sitting for a few seasons, it works well with just a new battery and a full tank of gas, I also put new labels on the car today so it is registered to 2013 I Drove the car a spirited way this afternoon and it made me wish I had space to put out the candles and return one day.
Bad It has some surface rust on a paint job 5 feet and a couple of holes in the floor panels But for what it was built for that he is ready for more action with just minor TLC After thorough once over, I'd t hesitate to drive to Portland, to follow him, and return as we have several times in recent years.
