I ordered a set of delrin radiator/front engine subframe bushings. They are the 247-parts.com version. I can't figure out how to remove the old ones, and the Bentley manual says nothing about it. How do remove the old ones without destroying the metal insert/washer?

What are you guys doing when mounting rear shocks in your MK3? The options I see right now are: - Use poly inserts instead of the factory rubber ones (what I have been doing) - Modify the strut tower to accept a spherical bearing (what I have been thinking) If you have any...

I'm looking for suggestions about the front towing hook/strap setup. Are you using the factory hook or something different? This is for my MK3 Golf. Thanks, Edison

My MK3 Golf hasn't been as reliable lately as I thought it would be. The last couple of weekends at the track I had a mechanical problem on Saturday. First weekend was a intermediate shaft seal that leaked, oil got to the clutch and it started slipping. The second weekend, the master cylinder...

Today I spent the day removing sound deadening from the GTI. There is still some left, but most of it is gone. What tools do you normally use for this job? Some pics of the job:

I'm just curious to know what oil weight you're running. I'm thinking on using Mobil1 0W-40 VW approved.

Are they? Assume they are going to be run with longer lug bolts.

It is my understanding that I can only run 15"x6" wheels in my 95 Golf (ITB class). Is so, where did you get yours? All aftermarket wheels are at least 6.5" wide.

Hello guys, I'm new to the site and club racing. I have a quick question, is it legal (SCCA ITB rules) to convert a MK3 Golf from rear brake drums to discs? Is a MK3 GTI (or Golf Sport) more desirable than a regular Golf? Thanks, Edison
