Re: Topic for English speaking International users
Planning so many things this year, but something tells me very few will get done.
One of them is to complete my project car: an 1984 VW Rabbit GTI, that is currently stripped down to a bare shell. I have a "donor" car that I have to take apart, use the parts on the good one and so on... Haven't thought about the engine yet, I have a 9A 2.0L 16V Passat engine, but was thinking about using an ABA bottom end (stronger internals, and the main advantage is that the accesories like the alternator, p/s pump, etc are using a serpentine belt that allow a higher rpm level ~8000-8500rpm) and mate it to my 16V head that will receive some work (port/polish, stiffer valve springs, big ass 286 degree cams). The real dilemma is what fueling system am I gonna use? Well I have 2 ideeas: -use 2 old skool Weber DCOE 35 carbs and be more in tune with the period of those cars, or -usa a standalone engine management system for spark and fuel injection for more reliability and less headaches??? Then the car has to be painted among other things... Yeah, as you can see alot of work ahead, probably won't see it finished for another year or so, but I'd rather do it properly or not do it at all. Cheers, Florin |
Re: Topic for English speaking International users
that sounds like a crazy project, kinda expensive too
definitely done right! What do u intend to do with the car? Show, weekend driver, track? |
Re: Topic for English speaking International users
I rekon any project like this is cool...u just need money...and patience...
I think Sebi will surely want to know more, knowing what a big Golf nut he is |
Re: Topic for English speaking International users
@Lex:
This will be my weekend car, probably drive it as much as possible during the summer. If I get the suspension sorted out the way I want it then maybe I'll try to enter a couple of Auto cross events. @Bogdan: Yes, the project is alot of fun and gives me a sort of satisfaction that nothing else does. Money is a very important part, that is why I am not going to finish the car anytime soon. I am renting a spot in a storage building that also allows me and a few other friends to work on our projects. I will try to get a few pics posted in a few days. Sebi is also a Mk1 nut, I have seen pics of his "baby". I'm sure we can have a few interesting conversations. |

It is difficult to get the parts that I want, luckily I have Vwvortex and Ebay at my disposal. Like I said before, I am not dropping huuuuge amounts of cash into the car right now, but it is still in it's early stages. The paint will likely be the most expensive thing (I approximate 2-3K $) Anyways, if I would be to do it all over again, I would buy someone else's almost finished project, because I have got the car as a rolling shell. It didn't have a motor, interior, wiring harness, etc, so those things pushed me to get a parts donor car. So luckily for me I have most of the stuff needed on the donor car, however there are still things I need to buy. |
Re: Topic for English speaking International users
Put some pics(empty shell & donor) up, so we can get a feel for the scale of the project :)
