some vw dudes liked my car

One day after my first Rally of the Tall Pines in Bancroft I found this video of my car at the event on a retro vw site, vwarmy. Cool, I thought. I think I likely had the accelerator pegged on the straight - which is why a friend and I replaced the tired 1.6 liter 8valve with a less tired 1.8 liter 16valve. After the swap, I found that the go pedal was missing a bushing which attached it to the accelerator cable - just putting that in may have contributed some increased response from the old engine - but oh, well, it was fun - right Gardhouse! Thanks to vwscully and the vwarmy folks for coming out and supporting the dubs.
