Topless Rabbit Forums

all you have to do is copy and paste the URL into your browser and they show up fine... the carr looks like it's in great shape. i've never really liked snowflakes though They are a lot better than the OEM steelies that were on the car for the first 16 years. As I've mentioned, I want to keep the c...

Well I see Image station is not the best place to host Pics.

Calimus, I will e-mail them to you in the next day or so, thanks.

Lowcab, the colour is "Flash Silver Metalic" and I can look up the code for you. I kept the oridigonal colour of the car.

Thanks for the compliment.

I said that I would post some pics of the Topless Bunny when I got the body work done. That was six months ago, So here are the pics I took about a week after finishing the body. I amstill looking for a set of "Karmann" Badges. The goal for this car is to keep it stock. http://www.imagesta...

Well, save for some slight additions that you'll want to make (16v radiator, 16v pass side motor mount, second fuel pump, cis-e brainbox and fuel distributor, knock box) There might be some other things and you don't "have" to use the 16v radiator and fuel pump system, but in the long run...

Nope, just simple matter of scirocco on the drivers side, all other on the passenger side. I think it might have been a "shift some weight" type of thing, or maybe a way to create some room cuase lemmie tell ya, trying to do anything on my scirocco is a real PITA with the battery, fuel in...

Could be.

I was under the impression that all CIS-E were on the Passenger side, while CIS was on the drivers.

I could be wrong.

I agree with Calimus. The proper readings on the Oil Pressure gauge should be around 5 Bar when the car is cold. as the car warms up the rading will drop, and according to my owners manual should not be less than 2 Bar with the engine running at 1000 RPM. (I will confirm that tonight). Well I said ...

Well I can't say too much from your pictures, but most people that I know that have done the 16V swap have opted for the CIS-E fuel injection. CIS-E was developed for 16 Valve engines, and looks something lke the one in the lower picture. The main advantage is that parts are still redily available. ...

I woldn't go as far as to call the Cabriolet a Frankenstein. I think it is important to point out that the Cabriolet was designed and built by Karmann for Volkswagen. The design is based on the MK I Golf. To stiffen the frame (because of the absents of a roof) three steel supports have bee added to ...

Does this help? Cal, that helps big time. I was looking through "The Golf" euro magazine and didnt see any Rabbits or Cabriolets just MK's.... So then it is safe to say that ALL MK1 and A1 parts will fit my 86 Cabby.......right? Thanks again! Jim I wouldn't say all, but 90% wouldn't be to...

I can't believe you forgot a car in that listing. :evil: Actually, it's the one car that kinds screws with the whole MK naming convention. Not to mention I own one, heh. The Scirocco. The first rendition of the Scirocco from 74'-81' was built on the A1 chasis and is called the MK1 Scirocco However,...

Oh ya, for the record,

Bar is the standard metric unit for pressure. This is used world wide except in Canada where the French standard of Kilopascals (KPa) is used.

1 Kilopascal = 1000 Pascals

1 Bar = 100 Kilopascals

1 Bar = 29.5299 Inches of Mercury (In. Hg)

Enough of the metric conversion!

I agree with Calimus. The Oil Pressure Gauge is indapendant of the idiot light, but when in doubt, have it checked. Just like the old oil filter commercial where the mechanic says "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later", meaning it will cost you a lot more if you neglect the maintena...

Yes the terms MK I and A1 mean the same thing and are often interchanged. They are the designation for which generation water cooled VWs are. Cabriolets are a MK I (or A1) while the newer Cabrio is a MK III (or A3) The New Beetle is a MK IV (A4) Some models like the Jetta run through out the whole r...

Funny that you mentioned that, I was pondering a lil on the previous emblem posts and looking through some VW Cabrio pics on some site that I found on a Cabriolet webring, I stubled across this pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/YouthPastorJB/cabriolet2s.jpg Jim I guess that I am not suffe...
