Oh theres plenty of stuff to be afraid of with the B motors....like: water pump gears stripping, lay shaft gears stripping, distributor gears stripping, Timing chain tensioners wearing out with no replacement in site, Cylinder heads cracking or leaking coolant around the valve seats. Other than that...

Plan on budgeting your build in the following order: 1) Cage. This is what will save your life, dont scrimp, dont take shortcuts. I will hopefully have some good drawings and 3D models up here in the next couple of months of a good 99/900 cage design. along with this goes seats, harness, driving sui...

The idea of going to spherical joints and custom trailing arms would be co...

I knew a friend of a friend a while back who built an awd VW corrado with a supercharged and then later switched to turbo charged VR6 engine. he bought a hybrid ceramic ball bearing t3/t4 turbo for about $800. Now, I think Lukes engine makes more then enough power with the turbo thats in there and i...

You know you could probably just transplant the harness in from a 900 pretty easily. Or you could figure out exactly what circuits you will need and build a rudimentry harness to your liking. Figure one ignition, charging, light, starter, horn, fuel pump with various safety cutoffs. It might take a ...

Dude... you NAILED that jump on stage 7 and even the little one in the last part. Luke nailed all of the jumps in stage 7. The big one apparently he didnt hear me yelling...this is the big one :shock: since when he landed he asked me in a rather shaky voice if that was the big one. I wish we could ...

cool, maybe I'll get a chance to see them this weekend when I have my new DSL hooked up....Youtube is blocked at work....strangely enough they havent blocked google videos yet

You could always mount some puddle wings to the front bumper similiar to the old rally cars. I drove through a deep puddle in my 99 at about 30 mph the other day and most of it ended up on the windshield. I think this happens since the wheel creates somethig similiar to a bow wake, blasts the water ...
