I'm in Israel... which is why I'm not really posting at all anymore... but anyways, my cousin has a Peugot 106. The idle is irregular. You start it warmish and it settles at around 1k. As it warms up, the idle climbs, and in traffic, the idle will sit close to 2k. What should I look at first?

I need a deck that will fit a 96 Jeep Cherokee. The thing has a tape deck in it now, and man..it totally sucsk listening to the same 8 or so tapes I have left. Someone clobbered teh Antenna off, so I have no rado either at the moment..anyone got an antenna that will work too? Looking at you Mr. Jeff.

Of course, used stuff is fine..it just needs to be pretty basic CD player setup.

Hey everyone, I know I haven't been on here much in the past, but I really want to work on changing that. That said, some of you may know about the Rabbit that has been in the works for god knows how long now. I have a 1984 Rabbit GTi that has been stripped down and taken apart. I am currently rebuilding it with hot rod parts from other VWs (which takes a bit of fabrication). As far as chassis parts, I have replaced all the rubber bushings with poly bushings, using H&R coilovers, and possibly some Eurosport camber plates. I also have a set of BBS RM wheels which are 15x8, 2 piece wheels. So my project is finally going public!! So I will start from the beginning to get everyone up to speed!

First task on order was to build the pedal assembly and bracket for the clutch master cylinder. Rabbit's stock have a cable actuated clutch, and rod linkage shifter assembly. That trans is designed for an engine that produces less than 100hp stock. Well considering I was looking to produce around 300hp wheel I didn't think that trans would get along with my new engine too well. The trans I opted for is a unit out of a VW Corrado which has a stronger gears and a larger clutch. Only thing is, it has a hydraulic clutch and shifted via cables. So here is what I came up with:


This is the pedal bracket with the steering column and mastercylinder bracket that I fabricated bolted together outside of the car. This took some trial and error to get the geometry right.


This is the completed bracket, which has been cleaned up and painted.


With the brake booster installed, tight squeeze but it all fits. Note, Scirocco 16v booster/master to compensate for Corrado brake swap.


Interior view of clutch pedal linkage. Note that steering column goes through the middle of the linkage.


Lone engine bay waiting 1.8T. Radiator support changed to euro spec (the way these damn cars are supposed to come), these cars have square lights stock. Color is BMW Urban Green which the entire car will be sprayed after it runs.


G60 front brakes, 11" of stopping power on ATE slotted rotors. Car has 9.4" rotors stock!


Rear disk brake swap.


Dropping the engine in!


Engine is out of a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T with just under 30k on it. Mated to the 1990 Corrado G60 trans.




The stock KO3 turbo just wasn't going to cut it. Garrett T3/T4 hybrid, 57 trim, .63 A/R.


Progress!! Flex-A-Lite slim fans installed to Scirocco radiator. Intake manifold from VW GTi 1.8T, Audi one will not work on transverse applications. Throttle body and alternator is from a 2 liter VW engine that came in most 93-99 Golfs/Jettas. Simens 62# injectors and Eurospec adjustable FPR. Note, this is a newer picture, I have done a lot of work and didn't take pictures for a while.


Remote mounted filter and external oil cooler installed!!


Putting together stainless steel hoses with AN fittings.




Working on the wiring harness.




Intercooler installed!

That is about where it stands right now. All of the wiring in the bay is pretty much finished. Just need to connect everything inside the car. Inside the car, it has a dash from a MK2 GTi (mine is a MK1), I have a roll cage but I'm not sure if I am going to install it, Corbeau fixed back seats, Scroth 4 point harnesses. The car will be using an SDS EM4 system for engine management. So even after everything is finished there will be tuning to face. I still have to make intercooler piping and the downpipe.

G-Force is Hiring for some part time help, didn't know if anyone was always back in Richmond on the Weekends

Borrowed it from some bloke in Broadway, it's the HEX+CAN cable that'll fit pretty much all VW/AUDIs 1990-2008.

Really useful tool, find out what fault codes (beyond typical OBDII scanners) your car is throwing, unlock cool hidden features, turn off annoying ones (such as seat belt chimes) etc etc.

Let me know if you could use this.

I'm selling my old boots cuz i'm getting some new baller ones. the pics are from my phone so sorry if they suck... ask rex, he'll show you the page he designed for me....

The last time I went skiing, the lower half of my leg was more or less turned backwards. RJ actually saw me laying there from the lift... He laughed... I was an invalid for a few months. I vowed to never ski again, but fuggit.

The lady and are hoping to spend a 3-day weekend (vday, my bday, president's day) at a ski resort. We both suck (she's been twice and I was a beginner/intermediate when I quit 6 years ago) so the more trails that are neiophyte-friendly, the better. Also important are the quality of accommodations/the lodge. A nearby vineyard would be a plus as well. Recommendations?

Price not as important as quality. I'm ballin'!

Just a quick reminder, the first MM meeting of the spring semester is tonight, 7-8pm in HHS 2208. We'll go over all the planned events etc. and welcome any new members from SON...

Also at 8:45 we are scheduled to help clean up the Convo center so make sure you come to that to help us earn money for the club, and thanks!

I'd like to make it back up to the land of hot girls and venereal diseases at some point when it's not just for block parties. When are the car shows this year?
