MK2/3 Base Rebuild

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:12:43 -0600

The first thing to service in the Mk2/3 shift assembly is the ball and socket assembly at the bottom of the shift lever. Wear from ordinary use will eventually cause excessive vertical play. This may cause the reverse lockout finger to break off when reverse is selected.

Kit contains new ball insert complete with socket, seal, new press pin and all other associated hardware with replacing it. Installation only takes a few minutes, but does require dropping the exhaust system and exhaust tunnel heat shield to remove the shift box. Follow up with a SmartShift2 kit! Or, for 60% of the benefits at 25% of the cost, combine with our Bushing/Ball only kit for MK2/3.

There's no greater bang for the buck invested than from this simple kit.

Pressure Gauge

Finally! A pressure gauge system for water/methanol injection use. Dial in pump pressures/flows with precision without breaking the bank. Gauge face reads in psi and bar/kpa.

MK4 Tubular Front Control Arms (pair)

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:08:35 -0600

These Mk4 Tubular Control Arms are designed to reduce unsprung weight while providing full wheel travel with minimal friction. Although the top-quality rod ends provide no cushion at all, they articulate without any of the binding and "sticktion" involved with rubber and harder material bushings. Driver and passenger typically experience a smoother but firmer ride with radical improvement in steering feel and handling precision.

USRT is now testing these parts. Comparison will be made to stock Mk4 as well as R32/TT alloy arms with early-type (pre-recall) polyurethane bushings in front location and caster-increasing rear piece.

Weights:
Mk4 Tubular Control Arms: 7.0lbs/3.2kg
R32/TT alloy control arms: 9.6lbs/4.35kg
Mk4 stock (stamped steel) control arms: TBD

FP34 Fully Enclosed Fuel Surge Tank

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 15:19:16 -0600

The FP34 Fuel Surge tank is one of the most convenient fuel pump installation solutions available. It fully encloses a Bosch 044 inside a 1 liter reservoir. This allows it to be mounted in any position while ensuring consistent high-flow and pressure.

Most stock VW/Audi fuel pumps can maintain enough flow and pressure to support 200-300hp maximum. Thus, upgrades are demanded for aggressively tuned cars. Stock intank pump replacement often makes fuel starvation around turns a significant and serious risk (e.g. all Mk4 Golf/Jetta variants including Audi TT). Adding an 044 inline (without a surge tank) does increase fuel delivery capacity. However, the peak flow is significantly restricted by narrow diameter stock fuel lines. Combine an 044 with FP34 Fuel Surge Tank and the result is a 600hp-capable fuel system.

Kit features:
• CNC machined billet aluminum end caps with Viton o-rings for perfect sealing
• Tefzel fuel proof wiring inside can (OEM-sourced)
• Extruded aluminum body, 4" diameter by 8.5" long body, black anodized
• Mounting tabs that allow flexible installation options
• M12 threaded ports on inlet and outlet for barb fitting or -AN connections with the correct adapters, can maintain the stock check valve if desired
• Flexible mounting from horizontal to vertical with NO fuel starvation issues
• End cap integrated pickup design ensures that the FULL liter of fuel will be available to the pump

FP34 Fuel Surge Tank Benefits:
• Solid billet aluminum construction, no welds, all o-ring seals
• QUIET operation
• Full 1 liter volume of fuel available to pump
• Can be mounted in the engine compartment near the fuel rail, or anywhere there is space
• Inlet and outlet solutions available to accommodate virtually any installation
• Can be mounted fully horizontally or vertically or anywhere in between

Options Available:
• Banjo fitting kit that allows nipple connections for fuel hose to factory style 5/16" or 8mm hose
• Fitting kit to allow -6AN connections to all inputs and outputs
• Add new Bosch 044 Fuel pump
• Add mounting feet for flexible mounting

Audi Quattro Takes On the Competition

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:57 -0500

The original 1980 Quattro was a masterpiece. Before long the quattro rubbed off onto other Audi models and the 4-wheel-drive was in family saloons. Other manufacturers, however, jumped on the bandwagon. Is four-wheel better than front-wheel-drive? Is BMW better than Audi? The best way to find out is to read the expert opinions in this book. Here we have experts from 3 continents comparing Audi's 1980 to 1999 4x4 Quattros against the: BMW 3, 5 & 7 Series, Porsche 911SC, 928 & 944 Turbo, Ford Sierra XR4i, XR4x4 & RS Cosworth, Mercedes 190E, 300TE, 400E & SLK230, Toyota Celica All-Trac Turbo, Cadillac Cimaron & STS, Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Infiniti Q45t, Alfa Romeo 155 Q4, and others.

Audi Quattro: Group B S1

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:58 -0500

The Audi Quattro is a Rally Giant because it was the first - not the most sophisticated, but the first and very successful too - to combine four-wheel-drive, and a turbocharged engine. It was the first to run with more than 300bhp. Because it was re-homologated/transformed from Group 4 into Group B in 1983, it was also the first successful Group B car. The Quattro dominated rallying from the start of 1981 unit late 1984 (when the Peugeot 205 T16 took over). Quattro's won no fewer than 23 World rallies from 1981 to 1985 won the Makes Championship in 1982 and 1984, and drivers Hannu Mikkola (1983) and Stig Blomqvist (1984) also won the World Drivers' series in Quattro's.

Audi TT Performance Portfolio 1998-2006

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:57 -0500

First shown as the TT coupe concept at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show and then soon afterward as the TT convertible at the Tokyo Motor Show, the cars heralded a new design language from Audi - the Bauhaus style from the 1930s that looked a little brutal at first, but has proven to have a long and successful production life. It finally arrived on the European market for the 1999 model year, with America following a little later. Senior Audi models, the A4, A6, and A8, have their engine and transmission sited longitudinally in the car, but the TT was based on the smaller A3 platform, which meant that the mechanical components were sited transversely. After a slow start, sales picked up and have remained strong ever since. The media loved the Audi TT and continued to write glowing reports about it even though it was six years old in the marketplace, outlasting the Mercedes-Benz SLK, BMW Z3, and Porsche Boxster by quite some time.

Fiat 131 Abarth

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:58 -0500

When Fiat entered rallying in 1970, its ultimate aim was to become World Rally Champion and the 131 Abarth of 1976-1980 provided the machinery to make that possible. Within the Fiat-Lancia empire, the 131 Abarth not only replaced the 124 Abarth Spider sports car, but was also favored ahead of the charismatic Lancia Stratos. By 1970s standards, the 131 Abarth was the most extreme, and effective, of all homologation specials. Compared with the 131 family car on which it was originally based, it had different engine, transmission and suspension layouts, was backed by big budgets and by a team of superstar drivers, and was meant to win all around the world. Not only did it start winning World rallies within months of being launched, but in 1977, 1978 and 1980 the 'works' team also won the World Championship for Makes, and set every standard by which Rally Giants were to be judged. The 131 Abarth was backed by a peerless team of engineers, so was there ever any doubt that successors like the Lancia Rally 037 and the Delta Integrale would eventually come from the same stable?

Ford Escort RS Cosworth & World Rally Car

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:58 -0500

The Escort RS Cosworth, which started rallying in 1993, was one of the most ingenious designs of all time. What started as a shortened Sierra Cosworth 4x4 platform, topped off by a modified Escort cabin and outer skins, was soon developed into a versatile and sophisticated rally car, and eventually became Ford's most successful since the legendary Escorts of the 1970s. Because it was smaller, lighter, and more nimble than any of the Sierras, the combination of Cosworth power, four-wheel-drive transmission, and an effective aerodynamic package made it a Rally Giant in all conditions. With five World victories in its first season, and success all around the world in later years, it was seen in every continent, in all conditions. Drivers like Carlos Sainz, Tommi Makinen and Francois Delecour added their own stardust to a glittering reputation. To meet a change in regulations, the Escort World Rally Car took over in 1997, and also enjoyed years of success. Until the all-new Focus WRC was launched in 1999, this generation of Escorts was the most effective rally car that Ford had ever produced.

scott@usrallyteam.com (Scott) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:10:58 -0500

In the late 1970's the problem facing any manufacturer that wanted to continue taking part in the World Rally Championship during the next decade was that the rules were being changed. Not only that but nobody knew until it was almost too late what form those new rules would take. This book takes the reader through the reasons for the new rules and the solutions that all potential contenders would have to consider if they wanted to win rallies at World Championship level. In particular, the subject of the book, Lancia's Rally, was the car that was developed quickly to deal with the then-dominant Audi Quattro. The reasons it succeeded are featured here along with an in-depth, behind closed-doors, look at the development of the car with the close help and cooperation of it's designer and chief engineer Ing. Sergio Limone. Here you can read how he decided the basic configuration of the car, what the rules would allow and how the project unfolded in total secret at Fiat's various test tracks and centers in and around Turin overlaid with rumor and counter-rumor as the world's motoring press tried to make sense of what little knowledge they could glean of the project's progress. In addition, Ing. Limone's own photographs, from areas never allowed access to the public, tell their own story.
