4k rally car info wanted

[Todd Phenneger]

 Heya,

  First I'd like to say a few things.  The first being nice run.  You were in the 1.8t Rabbit I assume?  Anyhow, Penningtons car didn't exactly have turbo problems all weekend.   First it had a bad spark plug wire and faulty rotor that broke on a stage.  Once fixed on Friday night I think it ran fine for the rest of the night at a little over 12psi.   But alas, when on Sat it wasn't running right again we found a cracked IC to TB hose.  Hmmm, imagine that everyone.  So we pulled one off Ned's 5ktq (No, not the beast since it has a 20vt) and it ran fine.  Later he ran a "bit" more than 12psi (pegging the 15psi gauge in an instant, ahh the things you do when trying to catch the guy in front of you :-)   and it seemed to be fine.  But I dont know how long the tranny will last with the Dragster inspired shifts he was using.  MAN, I didn't know an 016 could shift like that. :-)

   Anyhow, I'm working on a 4ktq Rally car myself and am vaguely familiar with a few others.   E-mail me if you want some info but put my Name in Subject Line.

Coming off a very successful (8th place overall in ClubRally, 2nd place Gp 
5, 2nd place overall class 3 driver/co-driver) WildWest ProRally weekend in 
the turbo Rabbit rally car, my thoughts have turned to my '86 4kq becoming 
the second car we campaign next year.

I know a few of you have 4k rally cars...I want to talk to you (offlist) 
about the prep, etc on your cars. I am hoping the cage work will start 
later this fall.

MAC - Mike Mailman stuffed his turbo quattro _converted_ Coupe GT on Friday 
night, looked like mostly front suspension damage. Damn that car is fast. 
Plsek did well, Pennington's 4ktq was plagued by turbo problems. I wonder 
why we don't see any A4's out there. It seems like a perfect fit.
