what's the go with your car? what's the mods that you have and/or are going to do to it?

I had great success in hillclimbs down here in my Mk1 twincam. Only things that ever bothered me were a couple of jap cars, GTR's, no Subies, an Evo and a Cosworth Escort. In the wet, I mean pouring rain the only thing that beat me in one hillclimb was a sole GTR with a bucket load of money spent on it.
I used my car as a parts pickup car for my business and ran it in all types of motorsport., well, not speedway or gravel rallies...
You probably havent seen pics of the car...

Hey 16vkid, go through my past posts and there are hundreds of pics of "Gunter".
I still have him in my shed in the country but is less the motor, gearbox and rollcage.
I ran a 1.8 twincam for the first 4 years and then switched to a 9A TC with no mods, just a lightened flywheel, homemade extractors and altered cam timing. It went perfectly and I had no problems until my second last event, The Rallye of Burnie where I snapped the exhaust cam into 3 pieces. Still drove it 380 kms home like that and had it running on the monday morning again. Took out 4th place outright in the following weekends hillclimb and then dropped out of motorsport...
Revnit now has that motor and is getting good drag times out of it for what it is.
Cheers, Andrew
