I have the stock fuel tank in my 84 GTI with a Golf in-tank fuel pump (to mitigate fuel pickup problems) going directly to the main in-line pump. Still have pickup problems. I know fuel cells often use a surge tank to solve these problems, but can I legally use one while still maintaining the...

Been perusing the POG thread for too long. My 84 GTI JH engine is still stock, untouched inside (AFAIK). Will higher octane fuels help much at all? My understanding is that the Leaded fuels (110, 112, etc.) will NOT. Found an easy, slightly cheaper source of 100UL and just wondered whether...

Every forum but one (General IT Discussion) displays as "Last thread posted" and "Descending". Works great! How to I get this one forum to default to that setting? Thanks!

So what is the best product to use as a fire suppressant in regards to damaging the vehicle (or yourself)? I take it that AFFF is not acceptable for bottles, only fire systems? Not sure I want to clean up my engine compartment after emptying my dry chem bottle on it.

"5. Cars may add one (1) front stayrod, located in one of the following areas: A. Between lower suspensions mounting points. B. Between the upper strut towers on Mac-Pherson strut equipped cars. C. Between upper front shock absorber mounts on cars with other forms of suspension." So if I...

While I may wait another year before doing so, I believe I am ready to go to a welded or spooled diff in my 84 GTI. I am currently running open with 650# front and 350# rear springs and Bilstein HD's (not yet re-valved). With "correct" tire pressures (Hankook 211's), the car is just a bit loose...

A can't seem to set up an account over at prodracing.com. I've tried for weeks, but no one seems to administer the site. No one has responded to my request to establish an account. Is this normal?

Where can I find a quick release for a right side net. I've got a net, just haven't gotten far enough to figure out the quick release end. Thanks!

Trying to determine the correct minimum weight to figure out the correct minimum tubing size I can use for an 86 VW Scirocco. Minimum weight is 2,320 (ITA-h, page 332 of GCR). Page 89, 9.4.1.F.3 says the tubing should be 1.5" x .120" DOM. But page 89, 9.4.1.F.2 just above it lists the weights...

Searched the archives, but couldn't find an answer other than the seat SHOULD be mounted to the cage. Beginning cage construction next week and want to mount the seat to the cage, not the floor. Anyone got any pics of how they did it? Trying to avoid the 9th, 10, and 11th cage mounting points...

I haven't found a registration site for this School/Regional event. Anyone know? Pretty sure car won't be ready in time for St Louis. Thanks!

Ready to begin cage building here soon. My car is allowed to use 1.5" x .095" tubing. Can I (or should I) use 1.5" x .120" for the main hoop? Does the entire cage need to be the same size tubing? Does there need to be an observation hole drilled in each tube? Is the "high density" padding...

Can an FIA seat (Forza II) be mounted on a slider and be considered securely mounted? I am tall, but want instructors to be able to drive my car at times. I've searched this site a time or two but haven't found this exact question asked. Thanks. P.S. Where can I find the FIA rules for...

Can weight reductions be made to the hood of an IT car, specifically an ITB 84 VW GTI? I believe the minimum weight is 2180, but at nearly 300#'s myself, I need to find as much weight to remove as possible. Can I remove fender liners? I don't see these things mentioned in the GCR. I've got a...

First time caller! New to the sport. Have an 84 GTI being prepared over the next few months (years) for ITB racing. Can I use the "euro" bumpers or do I need to find a set of the "original" bumpers? Can't find anything in the GCR about bumpers, so I'm assuming that I can't swap over to the...
