Ive just bought another cabriolet about half a year ago. Its a 93 with a manual tranny, been running great since i got it until about a month ago. It slowly started getting slower at starting and everyday got alittle worse. It eventually got to the point where it wouldnt start everytime, it would ta...

i wana get rid of my cis on my 87 cabby because its rusty, old and not working. i want alittle more room in my engine bay but also want a fresh injection system that i know i can buy parts for and work on. ive seen carbs done and heard of some people doing megasquirt but i dont know anything about s...

my 87 cabby is running bad. i put in an intank fuel pump cause i thought that was my problem before and it wasnt, i put up some posts and many of you guys informed me that it was most likely my relay, so i put a new one in, and now i can get it running, something i couldnt do before. To get it runni...

do you know where i can buy a new cis setup? or at least new parts.

for the 8v and the 16v. if im gona have both id rather not deal with cis if i could upgrade

that was very helpful, thank you. i think in that case it is best to not go cheap and to through in an LSD. it would be super benificial. do i want to change the gear ratio if i have a stock 8v tranny if i drop a 16v in? and what do u know about upgrading fuel injection? i have CIS right now but i w...

what about a 16v, will that be a problem for a stock manual tranny? itll probly be built up to around 200hp if i do it that way

thank you very much! i think im probably gona stick with the automatic in this car, get it running, put in the performance 2.0 8v from gex.com and rebuild the tranny and call this one good. then ill just go find a cabriolet that is a manual and put the 16v in it. idk if im willing to do that much wo...

thank you very much! that was a good bit of info for me. i know a guy on vwvortex was selling all those 16v scirocco parts in a bundle for like $400. thats seems pretty good. i mite just get that and a rebuilt engine and do a few mods. i would love to have it a stick but idk if im willing to go thro...

i go to that website alot, i looked around and found little bits of info, but im not to familiar with engine swaps. im knowledgeable in cars, but i just need alot of help with this one. anyone who has done it before have any tips of info for me?

i own a 87' with an automatic. its currently not running, i could get it running but i need new fuel injectors and probably lines, along with a few other things, but then its still just an 8v and im not getting much out of it. i want to do a swap to a 16v because it seems to be the popular swap and ...

is the 2.0l not a 16v? i think im gana do this swap, i have the opportunity to have the engine and tranny right now and i wana do it before its unavailable. it will be way better im sure (especially because my engine isnt running right now as it is)

Im looking to get my engine swapped out cause im not a big fan of our little 8v that are in there and i came across a good deal on an engine from a 99 jetta 2.0L along with the manual tranny, it mite be a 6 speed ( my car is automatic right now, hate it!) but idk if anyone has done the swap or if an...

i do like the look of the vinyl attached to his headlights, im looking to make that look from my hood tho for sure. if i cant find one that suits me i will fabricate my own. im very experienced with fiberglass so i could pprobly make something awesome. ill put up pics when done. first engine, then e...

i replaced my transfer pump, clean my fuel distributor out, and cleaned the one injector i could pull out before it got dark, tried starting it. it started up everytime but died right away. tried starting while pushing on the gas, without, half way, starter fluid... nothing. it straight up dies as s...
