I recently got my rabbit running after it had been sitting for like 10 years. we took it out on the road to see what else was wrong. we were gettin' it in the 4th gear (aka e) then just looked at the hill and had to downshift. once we hit it i dropped a gear and barely maintained speed in 2nd. so much for those 12 min. runs to school lol i intend to take on the hill again :evil: (with a heavilly modded pump
)

Turn up the fuel and open your intake and exhaust and MASH it till you feel scared........
well do go nut's but, I usually have to be in 2nd to climb the hill, but can rip up it np, because I'm at about 2500 rpm...... Good old turbo......

A modified pump wasn"t needed. That old timing belt must have been stretched that bad or something, that it was that far out of time. :shock: I hit the hill again after the new belt and accelerated slowly in third.

Giles built an N/A pump for his shop's delivery rabbit that single-handedly increased output by 22 HP at the wheels. Same power as a 1.7L gas rabbit, but more torque!
