My 1992 GTI

[DocWalt]

Glad you've been racing the BRZ! Not worried about the warranty/insurance anymore? haha

I only have a year of warranty left... I should get track insurance in the future. I don't want to be that guy, not do I want to drive the stupid GTI every day lol

I did a road rally today. We finished at Victory Brewing, yum



We finished a solid second place on our first rally!

Haha. It's fun and dirt cheap... no car prep required

[DocWalt]

Ordered a baffled oil pan, new oil pump and some other odds and ends... Also ordering new bearings. The rest of the stuff I need I already have, just gotta pull the crank and drop it off at a machine shop.

You make it sound like it's changing the spark plugs.

Getting it ready for the trip to NG this year?

If I didn't have to pull the trans to get the crank out it would be easier than changing spark plugs on a stock VR-4 with all of those stupid vacuum lines

Hell no. Did you see what I signed up with? I'm not rushing to get the GTI fixed, though it might be fixed by NG I won't trust it.

So I played around with some tuning on the GTI today (after pulling the pan and inspecting the bearings) and I discovered that I was losing nearly 10 degrees of ignition timing up in the RPMs.

I forgot to set the hardware latency of the hall sensor... As RPMs climb the delay becomes more magnified due to how much more quickly everything is happening.

So yeah, the GTI is now quite a bit faster than it was and runs smoother and sounds healthier...

I received this today, new from Techtonics Tuning:




Now I'm just waiting for the new King XP race bearings and some motivation to pop the crankshaft out.
