i took it out to clean out the crappy wiring the previous owner did and to install my stereo system.

so how does the brain mount back up?

Damn, I wish I had seen this sooner. I just ripped all that outta the wifes totales cabby about 2 weeks ago and now I can't remember how the hell it was supposed to look either.

I might try to re-create it sometime this week and take a pic if I manage to figure it out.

Glad you figured that out, my rocco has finally ended it's "well Behaved" term of 5 months (which has to be some new damn record for a 16v

) and has started giving me shifting problem as well as a new oil leak

so trying to figure out those damn crazy ass cabby dashes completly skipped my mind. Sorry

record for a 16v??? i guess my jetta goes into the gueniss(sp?) book of records, cause i've gone 2.5 years without a problem

what's the difference? 40mm vs 42mm intake.

you could always swap it over to CIS-E Motronic

If/when I get another 16v rocco, I'll change out the FI, this one I'm keeping all stock as painful as that is. I thought about modding it many times but this car is just in too good of shape to ruin with heavy mods.

However, the next one I get is already planned out. Custom rear suspension, custom motor rebuild, custom FI and man more changes that my father and I have pipe dreamed for a while. My dad's an old oval track racer from back in the day so he's got all kinda of tricks up his sleave. Not to mention that he's an electrical technition/metal fabricator by trade so we have access to all the tools needed to do the job. Can't wait till I get another rocco to play with.

Listen to him talking about the next one. In the meantime there is a Ghia patiently waiting and..oh, lets not forget the bike that he wants. Of course I will have to stand by him if he tells me he is getting me a RoccoI to play with
