So hey guys;
Who here does Auto-cross with their Diesels?
I'm thinking of gettng back into it and would like to buy another Rabbit to use for said purpose
.
However, my friend says "you can't AutoX a Diesel!"
Bah; what does he know? :wink: so I want to show him up.
Anyone here do it?
Well, the search is on for a race Rabbit for me anyway and then I'll show him how it's done
:wink:
just for fun; that is me in 2003 with my 1.8l Golf CL
. fun stuff!
I would like to know where some Autocross events are in Ontario as well. I finally got my 1995 Golf 1.9 up and running, and I would love to run it in Autocross.

Oh well then!
Your first thing should be to join WOSCA; they are the ones who hosted the Events that I attended and they were fun, informative and welcoming
.
They also have a forum like this (although I haven't been on much lately since I currently have no AutoX car! :oops: ).
Anyway, here's a link:
http://www.wosca.com/Hopefully I will have something soon to race this year! :wink:
I wanna try and make it out to a couple withe my diesel rabbit this year also. cant wait. :twisted:
i'd like to get into with my jetta this summer, fspgtd does alot of racing, and gets alot of attention, i hope to do the same. i'm a little concerned as to what class i would be in since my jetta doesn't have the stock motor since it's an 81 and i switched it to a turbo diesel(only made td's in 83 and 84), and my boost control device is modefied. well not really but kinda lol, i'm afraid i'll be a tough class to compete in.
slowly get the rabbit together. I installed the neuspeed race springs with bilstein struts. Im going to make all the braces AND GIVER SH!T!
"you can't AutoX a Diesel!"
I drove my Diesel Rabbit in a Evolution Driving School. I usually drive a Corvette. I would use the rabbit but the handicap is not kind to a N/A Diesel. I am aware of one guy in the Portland area that AutoX 's a diesel.
you are talking to the waterfest 2000 3rd place winner in the dsp class
it was with my old truck,and it was raining,and i had truck tires too
and it was "just a 1.6td"
theres a video out there somewhere of it.....
diesels should clean up in tight courses especially,because the torque is always there
Paging Jake "fspgtd" to this thread...
Seems like he took his "diesel" all the way to Nationals... :wink:
Not to bad for a car you can't autox :roll:
