Instead of hijacking Jay's thread about the RMCB5 GTG... I created this new one.

Anne

Whats at PPIR Anne?
If it is scca then I will be there to root you on. Building the jetta for track fun but am going to try my hand at scca this year with either the 89 GTI
or I might build a new mk2 stock class car. :wink:

MistressAnne · « **Reply #1 on:** February 12, 2005, 08:42:16 AM »

You have been saying that for about two years Brad.

There is an autocross in the VIP lot, and the road racers (Solo 1) will be doing their thing on the main track.

Scott · « **Reply #2 on:** February 12, 2005, 09:33:06 AM »

ok, here we go again... what class is my GTI in do you think??? suspension is upgraded and the wheels are wider and taller than stcok, that is it...

I am doubting the claims of the motor work because it is just not that fast...

MistressAnne · « **Reply #3 on:** February 12, 2005, 09:46:37 AM »

http://www.scca.org/_filelibrary/File/2005SoloRules.pdf <- that is the whole rulebook.

This is what I think: DSP Golf (16V) & Jetta (16V)

BlackJetta · « **Reply #4 on:** February 12, 2005, 10:39:30 PM »

Hmmm.. I will be doing some reading.
I know I have been saying this but the only
thing holding me back is my black jetta..
needs brakes.. a full brake bleed.. some
upgrades to even qualify to be in scca solo.

Then there is the fact the 81 jetta did not
come with a 16valve engine.
Plus the racing suspension
I can go on and on.

Hence the reason I need to read all the different
classes and rules then decide what class I want
to race in. :driver:

MistressAnne · « **Reply #5 on:** February 14, 2005, 08:01:51 AM »

I think most cars that have engine swaps go into the donor car's class. Depending on what is done to the suspension, it will probably go into a SP class.

BlackJetta · « **Reply #6 on:** February 14, 2005, 10:01:29 PM »

When is the first event Anne?
Is there someone from SCCA on hand to evaluate the Jetta?
IE put it into a class?

MistressAnne · « **Reply #7 on:** February 15, 2005, 07:48:08 AM »

The easiest was to class it would be to give me all of the specs. I will find out for sure. If you were to wait until event day.. you'd be screwed...

So should this thread be changed to the SCCA info thread?

MistressAnne · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2005, 07:25:52 PM »

Sorry Jay... :oops: I'll see if I can figure out this split topic thing.

MistressAnne · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2005, 07:33:48 PM »

I'll see what I can find out for you Brad. :thumbup:

BlackJetta · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2005, 09:15:54 PM »

Thanks for changing the thread Anne. Sorry Jay :-(

No sweat, I just had to give you kids a hard time. I suck at splitting topics so :thumbup: for being able to do it!

Sorry our track day conflicts

.

SoFarKingFast · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2005, 10:41:43 PM »

So what kind of class would I be in? Am I going to be racing M3s and stuff or what?

MistressAnne · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2005, 07:37:34 AM »

As a guess, I'd say OSP. Maybe even a mod class.

Wolfs2.1T · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2005, 03:44:34 PM »

Yea, OSP, thats what i figure, im in that class with almost the same setup.

BlackJetta · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2005, 11:31:23 PM »

I lost this thread.. quit movin it! :wink:

MistressAnne · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2005, 08:19:53 AM »

:birdie: I didn't move it.

MistressAnne · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2005, 03:11:21 PM »

Here are the responses I received. For clarification, Brad's car was number one and Ryan's is #2...

I think the first one is safe in either SM or OSP. Looks just a
little too hybrid to fit into SP. The second one is definitely either
OSP or SM. No way it would fit into any other class. I think the limit
in SM is 3.0L for forced aspiration, so it's legal...

They both sound like SM to me.

I would say SM for both.

Scott · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2005, 03:13:48 PM »

holy shit... VR turbo and N/A 16v in the same class?

BlackJetta · « **Reply #21 on:** February 18, 2005, 08:26:05 PM »

Now that we are all clear..

THAT is the reason I have not entered any events with my Jetta.
Better off just building it up for Second Creek and driving around
town and build a SCCA specific car. :-(

Thanks for all your help Anne. Now I just need to figure out
what I want to do.

Scott · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2005, 09:17:30 PM »

well, the more I think about it the less I think it matters for this type of racing...

Autocross is ALL about the driver, and that big ass turbo will probably make either very little difference or cause unwanted power at a very bad time... meanwhile the all motor Mk1 would be steady and controlled (power wise)... it would be a fair race, I would even give a slight edge to the Jetta with all variables being even.

London · « **Reply #23 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:38:47 AM »

Brad, ok so im a little dunk but.... who the fuck cares what class? You got a 16v MK1 that you have spent lots of time and money on, just go race it. Unless you are gonna be some SCCA lifer it doesn't matter what class your car is in. As long as your times get better with each run right? All this coming from a guy who failed tech inspection on his first day out with his MK1 16v. I was so pissed I decided to sell the car rather than spend the $40 and two hours to fix it.

( not really true but it makes for a good story)

anyway, what im getting at is you have a competative car right now, forget building another one, just go race it and have fun. No offense to Anne at all cause she's my girl but these Colorado SCCA guys are pathetic. Don't become one of them, just go have fun with what you got. If you ever become an SCCA weekend warrior who treats the Sunday autocross like it a fucking F1 event i'm gonna get mad at ya...

Yup, what he said. I have so much wheel spin in 1st and 2nd it is disgusting.

Scott · « **Reply #25 on:** February 19, 2005, 10:16:12 AM »

well... you would be lucky to get out of 2nd gear on most Auto-X courses...

and London... I am about to become one of those SCCA weenies... LOL I am joining SCCA and racing the entire summer series... I plan to win rookie of the year and most valuable fokker as well as coolest fucker to run over 15 cones in a row... that is a very coveted trophy... :cool:

MistressAnne · « **Reply #26 on:** February 19, 2005, 11:44:35 AM »

I agree that the SC failing tech was a bunch of bullshit.
One of the only reasons I took the position as Registrar was to be able to enter local events for free. I enjoy autocrossing. When you get like those fokkers in X class that shell out the dough for Hoosiers and travel all over the country- that's just too much.

BlackJetta · « **Reply #27 on:** February 19, 2005, 06:01:07 PM »

Grrrr.. I was all set to just fix up the jetta and build a different race car and Michael has made me think twice.. Damn you Sir! Damn you strait to hell! :mrgreen:

Now I need to figure out how to replace my belly pan and source some
new front fenders..

I also need to read through what is required at tech inspection.
I was fixing my torn CV boot and found out I got the wrong damn
boot. I thought it was a Scirocco axle and it is a regular mk1 jetta
axle. :mad:

I am going to fix the cam seal sometime this week so I can try and
make one or two SCCA events soon! Who do I talk to about getting
some magnet numbers?

MistressAnne · « **Reply #28 on:** February 20, 2005, 09:14:46 AM »

I can't find the tech inspection stuff... I'll send out an e-mail tomorrow and find out. :thumbup:

For magnets, I made my own. You can go to a sign shop and get some magnet material for pretty cheap, then cut them out yourself. Use this for templates: http://www.rmsolo.org/makenumbers.html

BlackJetta · « **Reply #29 on:** February 21, 2005, 08:28:42 PM »

Basic tech inspection means no leaky fluids.. no loose items which could fall off of the vehicle. secured battery etc etc..

I worked today for about 5 hours on my 81.. not intentionally.
Had a blown CV boot. While fixing that I found that the passenger
side of my diff was leaking through the Inner CV boot. After
fixing that leak I finally found where the oil was coming from.
Not the camshaft but the housing for the crankshaft on the timing
belt side. mmm.. joy!

I will be fixing the oil leak in the next week or so. Once that is done
I think I might have conquered all my leaky fluids.

Wolfs2.1T · « **Reply #30 on:** February 23, 2005, 11:53:03 AM »

Hey Brad, just bring it out and race me and Scott in OSP. ^^

BlackJetta · « **Reply #31 on:** February 23, 2005, 06:59:17 PM »

I truly want to.. just need to figure out
what to do about rust. I have a bit of it
to deal with and I am not sure if that
is a issue. I will be at the next mt. elbert
event if nothing else to spectate and talk
to a official. Possibly register.

MistressAnne · « **Reply #33 on:** February 24, 2005, 07:49:10 AM »

How much rust? Normally it isn't an issue.

Scott · « **Reply #34 on:** February 24, 2005, 07:51:57 AM »

Alex had a rusted out battery tray, that was a no-go....

MistressAnne · « **Reply #35 on:** February 24, 2005, 08:51:56 AM »

But that time he fixed it with a bungee cord it passed....

BlackJetta · « **Reply #36 on:** February 24, 2005, 09:57:42 PM »

Battery tray is good.
I have it on the lower front fenders.. and behind
the rear wheels. basically where the rocks can spit
up and remove paint.. including the rockers.

Took her for a etest today. failed. But only because
it was running too rich. Needs spark plugs and
about 5 minutes on the gas analyzer at work. :wink:
