Re: more vortex retardation
I am starting to get into the VW scene with the purchase of my 92 shitrocco . they seems like a very easy car to work on except when it comes to modification, everything is so akward, and no aftermarket support for the CIS engines.
since I've owned mine I've tried 2 trannies with different issues, this time I have no reverse, I bought it with a bad tranny, I am on tranny 3 . I am bidding on another on ebay germany #4. its a nice car to drive, I like it better than my 98 audi a4.

Re: more vortex retardation
I like my dub. I Love the fact that I've had my car for over a month and have yet to see any other passat my body style, but I hate getting asked "When are you gonna toss some ecodes in it or textured euro bumpers?"
Its like when you buy a Volkswagen you HAVE to slamm it all the way down and then Euro everything.
Maybe im wierd but i just like driving the damn thing.

awesome 2 stupid *** comments in one thread. How many people here have color matched parts on their cars? exactly
also please explain to me how the 1.8t is fail? throw rods in it and the bottom end is good for 500+hp? and thats fail? versus all the bullshit that has to be completely built here to make any amount of power? for more then a week. on a mild tune a 1.8t can make around 200whp and over 240wtq....yup that must be a shitty motor.

youre on the wrong site if you think people here care about being different. honda tech has a nice appearence and cosmetic section you might enjoy.
and your going to compare building a honda to building a VW? sorry dude, honda will make more power for less money more reliably. so all it takes is pistons and rods in a 1.8t, what the ---- do you think is required to make 500WHP+ in honda? not to mention a 500whp honda will run circles around a 500whp vw

Re: more vortex retardation
If u cant appreciate an engine that is fully built, with a turbo or supercharger making twice the stock hp or any car done right then i dont see how you are a real car enthusiast. Doesnt matter if its a honda, vw, dodge,fiat,mini, or a motorcycle or airplane or anything. If we are in search for HP and tq then any motor done right gets my respect

This is HMT where we cut the ---- and get to the essentials. If the engine is expensive as ---- for poor performance and reliability we ---- all over it. ---- what you do with your respect; it is ill spent.
