Hey my names Ryan. Was told this was the place to be for real rally info and help. Just getting into rally, currently have an 86 jetta coupe set up for auto-x. Looking forward to getting this thing back up in the air where it belongs. Some quick specs, 86 jetta coupe, 1.9 tdi swap, front mount intercooler, ecu tune, full 3" turbo back exhaust, approx 160 hp ( for now) vr6 jetta 5x100/ disc brake swap, vr6 front a-arms and cv shafts. Looking forward on getting the build started and getting some advice from the vw guys! Quick pic

Yay, more MK2's!
First off, it's an Ontario car. Any rust damage at all on the unibody? If the answer is yes then go find yourself a rust-free Mk2 to use as a donor. No point wasting time fixing rust damage on a new build. This way you can still drive your regular car while you modify the unibody, put the cage in etc... In the meantime, read these pages from beginning to end to get an idea what you are in for. You can probably ignore the syncro conversion stuff, but the rest will give you a good idea what is involved in building up a MK2 for rallying. http://forums.thecarlounge.com/showthread.php?4191095 https://www.facebook.com/ProjectSyncro Runamuck Rally |

OMFG, how could you pick That car? don't you know over in Elbonia the proud natives only rally the Elbonian model 2 in taupe or turquoise . the Elbonians invented the sport and how they do it over there , is the only way , anyone should ever do it, and while you are entitled to your own opinion , you should know that your own opinion is wrong, but if you are lucky i can loan you mine for a while ....
