OK. I’ll keep at it.

OK I’ve been cruising around the site and everybody is posting multiple photos soooo,….give me the dunce hat.

Somebody tell me what to do. 🙂

Only problem I’m having is I cannot post more than one picture as I have to have the location copied to the clipboard before I write because if I navigate away from the page to get another pix everything I have written is deleted and I have to start with a clean page.

Daniel san. Wax on!  Drive on! So speaks Miagi!

Don’t stop there!

Ed, Get a grip!

“All the kids are wrapping their cars “.

You gotta dance with the girl what brung ya.  With all the work that you have done to try and make your car as TDish as you could……?????   (and don’t tell me that TD’s didn’t have clear coat on them 🙂 )

If there’s some give in those, replace them. The last common possibility is the disc or pressure plate. If a little oil gets on it or something like that you can get chatter. But…[Read more]

I tend to get my cork valve cover gaskets from a vendor at VW shows. I manage to keep a dozen on hand as spares and when I get down to four gaskets, I pick up some more at the next VW show. I usually get them cheaper there.

I got mine from oreillyauto also. Works ok and not pricey.
