The flares are for sale again but for $400, achilles sold them and they have sat in a guy's garage, he was going to put them on his rocco. The guy with the beer is my friend Ed Brown, Great Auto body guy, Loves the VW, Ha small world!

Thanks Mark, it was nice to meet another rabbithead, Dubsnorth.org is also our VT site for Audi and VW's related fourm. I hope those flares go to good use on your racecar. Good luck with the wabbits

[speeding-g60]

cool, Mark... sounds like you got it handled.... FWIW, Z-products never answers or returns the multitude of phone messages... i should get off my lazy (read really busy) ass and go to their shop.

glad i could point you to some new parts....

[54ep]

i would still be interested in a new set of those flares...

[speeding-g60]

haha.... i think i am leaving work early today.... i will try and remember to stop by that place on the way home.... i have only driven by the exit for it two times a day for the last 7-8 years LOL

[speeding-g60]

IM'd you Mark. RE: flare kit

[54ep]

hey aaron, nice chatting with you tonight...i talked with tim on the phone tonight and the wheels are in motion. (no pun) he's sending me an invoice, i'll send him a bank check and then i need to get them shipped here... that's where you come in! i can have them shipped to my wifes' business (trucks will drop ship at a business not a residence) i have heard that greyhound bus co will ship as well(cheap prices too) will keep you posted on the progress. thanks a million, mark

[speeding-g60]

just let me know when to pick em up, and i will handle it.... after i crate them up, i will search for a good shipping price.

so...nobody wants to buy a fast well sorted winning fp car??? looks like we get ready for another year of racing! guess i'm gonna keep the ole' girl!

[1990whiteg60]

I have wanted this since you first put it up for sale, but I decided right now it was a better idea to buy a house than another car. Some day I will have the funds to race a car like this.

just back from the engine builder...all set for 2008 season. no prisoners...

you can buy a house anytime...by the way, check out my main sponsor, coldwell banker/upton-massamont realtors! we can always sell you a house!!!

[Kanoa9321]

probably better luck on the prod forum than the poortex

[54ep]

i guess i don't want to sell it that badly?

[Kanoa9321]

haha kind of like your putting it for sale, but down deep you hope nobody buys it

I know I would never want to sell mine

[chois]

I think this is a competitive platform in FP. We are putting together an FP A1 now and hope to be at the front again in 2009.

Mark - did you guys already have the bigger throttle body for the 1.8, or was that new for you this year as well?

[speeding-g60]

Mark, just checkin back on the molds... you get em yet? hope you are happy with if so.

and hope you do well (as if) this season again

[54ep]

i gave up on fi back in 1999...i have dual webber side drafts.

[54ep]

hi aaron, the fender flare molds arrived this week! i haven't even opened them yet the good news is that all the boxes are intact! i can't thank you enough for putting me in touch with tim. you da man! thanks and good luck in your season this year. keep us posted along the way!

Chris,

You guys doing a 1.8, 1.6, or 1.5 for FP??? I think a 1.6 w/ the big valves @ 1750 lbs could be competitive in FP.

MC

[54ep]

not according to the very fat rule book...1.8 w/ stock diameter valves is the law.

[Scirocco14gp]

Hey Mark,

As of 2008, the SCCA just moved the GP VWs up to FP, with both the 1.5 and 1.6 engines getting the big valve heads. The 1.5 has to weigh 1600 lbs and the 1.6 has to weigh 1750 lbs. 34mm chokes on the 1.6 engine w/ sidedrafts (that's what I run). I'm pretty sure that Chuck M. will stick with FI on his car.
