and the axle gods, and gearset gods, and vw gods because a 10 second mk4 is a rare bird. takes alot to get there.

VW is a solid 5 years behind the honda world as far as drag racing is concerned.

I might have been thinking that, but hopefully not. A friend of mine has a slightly modded 1.8T and it scoots along pretty good for what it is.

dont try to sell your cookies before you finish baking them.

the mk4 chassis is pretty dumpy. front suspension needs a major rework. spherical bearings, and custom tubular lower control arms are a good place to start. otherwise they flex alot.

We are addressing the entire front end, prior to hitting the track.

On the list are:

- Solid aluminum bushings spun on a lathe to replace the rubber ones hanging the subframe to the unibody

- fully welding the subframe halfs together, and adding some tubing to prevent flex.

- heim joint / tubular dog bone to controll engine movement and adjust the clocking & preload on the motor mounts.

- start with fully welding the lower control arms like the subframe idea. R32 bushing. If that doesnt work, I make a jig and make some DOM tubing LCA’s with heims.

- solid frame horn conectors to keep the frame from twisting.

- We might even come up with something special if we have the room under there to pull it off… aint letting that cat out of the bag yet.
