With how tail-happy Katie's GTI can get, I'm surprised you feel the need to pitch the rear more. Is the suspension on the Rabbit that much softer?

It's noticeably softer, but you forget i've got a lot of grip with those fat tires.
What i've found, is that I can set it up really well to step out slightly in the rear with a tap of the brakes, but it wont hold the "drift", there's just not enough momentum (i'm guessing) to keep it slightly ajar. But when you give the hand brake a tug the rear steps out and stays out a bit longer, which in certain situations is more beneficial in my view. I dont know, hopefully by october or november I won't have the rabbit any more and the volvo will be the purpose car, and the TDI won't see autocrossing, except maybe to tow the volvo. |

Cholewa!!!! Whaaa happened??? I was just taking some time looking over the results and you be waaaay down; we used to run fairly close! You got beat by one of every kind of car that showed-up save the Novice Jetta and the Novice Mini! Sara and Diana passed you and Katie almost did! You musta had 4 flat tires AND forgot to remove the tennis balls from your velocity stacks! Dang! I feel bad for you, man. Did you run out of gas?

Thanks John. We have what is called an intentional interim preacher. What that means is he takes on all duties of the full time pastor, but takes himself out of the eligibility as full time pastor, with a one year responsibility. So, our church is still looking. Are you looking for some 94 springs, or was that supposed to be a joke?

Actually looking for some 94 ignition coils, not coil springs.
My coils died on the race car after the dyno. |
