Re: [mk2-16v] Cross Country with an MK2

I drove my 16v from San Diego to Boston and back several times. Then drove that same car after I swapped a G60 motor in it from Cleveland to San Diego several times and Cleveland to Boston several times. Never got stranded, but had a few heart stopping moments... Sent from my iPhone On Apr

Re: [mk2-16v] RE: Cordless Impacts?

I've had a Milwaukee 1/2 drive lithium cordless impact for several years. It works great, no issues. I went with the 1/2 drove as it has over 400lbs of torque in reverse. I've found those numbers on most of the guns are inflated. Ie: it'll say it has 250lbs of torque but it won't break free

The GTi's had power recaros too. It seemed to be whatever VW had laying around the factory floor that day. I've seen the GLi's with both manual and power ones, most of the GTi's came with manual ones. The power ones have larger leg bolsters and a wider head rest. I really want this car as a
