the prev owner tried to install a CD player and butchered it badly. http://www.corrado-club.com/aktiv/Disabling.cfm read that and you'll see why returning this mess to stock isnt an option
The stock speakers sound like ----.

the wiring is so butchered in this thing when i pulled the radio out there was enough wire coming off the connector tht i could have mounted the CD player in the backseat. there is no way in hell i am gonna try to get the aktiv system up and running again. they fucked up the power side and the speaker side.
if you have an old style MKII front engine mount and bracket i'll take it. this hydro one is garbage, it cant even hold the stock 8v in place.

i forgot all about that, a friend of mine did it to his GLI. i need to take a look at his car. he also used hockey pucks on his springs so he could maintain stockish ride height but get the stiffer rates of race springs

i dont think mine are broken, they are just POS mounts. i grind 2nd sometimes cause the engine moves so much, i have to push the clutch in a hold it for a second to let the engine settle back into place before i can shift.
hey rawr, any info on those hockey pucks for the front mount. i asssume just drill a hole in the middle and stack them, but how many??
