Me too, (street modified that is...) but I cant really see the wisdom of a
brace to the firewall in an a1 its not that strong of a structure, nor is
it all that far forward.  I was reading on a couple of sites that to the
towers is allowed, as of feb. for IT, but I could be wrong, at least I've
seen some pix of production cars with just such a brace... I cant find any
rule in the feb.(jan?) GCR addendum that says either way.

My plan is for a Scirocco II, caged, 2l 16v t3 turbo programmable EFI &
electronic boost control. Already bought the EFI, buying the 2l this
weekend, negotiating on a couple of scoroccos... so im making progress :)

true, I am just waiting for 2002 rules to be published, seem silly to buy
2001 rulebook now, correct me if i'm wrong :)

take care,
