Current Car setup for 2008 season

Wheels: Street - Polished Le Castelettes 14", Track - Snowflakes
Tires: Street - Yokohama ES100, Track - Yokoham A032R. Both will be 185/60/14, stock size.
Suspension: FK Konig Sport fully adjustabled coil overs. These are set up to run properly with the geometry of the car. Sadly, this does not improve the looks any, but that is not why I bought these coils.
Body: 8v profile, small wing, no body kit. It is the original color, but repainted once. The paint is still pretty good in most spots, very little rust for the age.
Cockpit: Mostly stock, with the exception of a newer deck, and a Triple guage plate with Oil pressure, Temp and Volt guages.
Brakes: Currently stock rotors/pads. When the swap is done I will be upgrading to the 10.1" front's with a ceramic brake pad, and Brembo rotor. The rears will stay for now, and will be done at a later time if it is needed.

Engine setup for 2008 season

Engine: Currently 1.7L 8v. Being rebuilt (installed March 25th) 2.0L 16v
The engine will be rebuilt with new gaskets and seals all around. Some mild gasket matching done on the intake manifold. As well, a set of Autotech 16V cams, 8.5 lbs flywheel from BSI racing, and a header will be installed.

Tranny: VW 4K- big 5th gear swap. Will be doing transmission seals as well as a good racing gear oil.

 

Special Thanks: Retro_Mike, 8vRocket, big_b from VWVortex for helping me pull this thing together.
