I also purchased an A2 GTi but I remember that it took me a while to warm up to the bloated , rounded Mk2 version of the GTi. As an impressionable teen and...

Anyone remember a late 80s-early-90s VW commercial which started out in B&W, a bug (?) toodling along a country road, then it turned color & rotated...
Iain, I don't remember this commercial, but since Quantums were called Passats and A3's were coming out, too, uh, this is right about the time the VA in...
... No, poor choice of words - at that point, I kinda liked VWs, GTIs and Scirocco 16vs in particular, but I was still driving a Jeep with big tires and a big...
My favorite VW ad was one of the first Corrado ads - started with an antique black Beetle and the announcer asking "How do you get a Volkswagen to go 120...

OK...I'll throw in the old-man card. I remember filling up my sky blue Datsun pick up for $7.00 ($.65/gal methinks?). Good times. I still miss that truck...

Hey fellas, Been racing an SM '80 Scirocco for the last couple years... Basically an FSP car with a torquey 2l 16v and a full cage. Motor has great mid range...
Here is what I know. The 1.8t is rated at 174 HP exactly the same as the VR6, except that the 1.8t is highly modifiable. I've found for turbo Honda cars...
No really, is there anyone with opinions or experience with gearing for turbo motors? Should I stick with the race proven tight gearing and shift fast to avoid...

Sead, Tighter gearing will be better. Probably not as tight as you have now, but I think with a longer R&P, that should do fine. I really like my 2Y right now,...
