Happens to all of us.

I have a very nice set of CIS fuel distributor to injector and warm up regulator lines. They look almost new with no corrosion and shiny plating on the fittings. $40 for the lines, $50 with the WUR plus postage.

Distributor is sold. Bosch coils $10 each CIS basic ignition modules $5 each/with heat sink $10 Postage extra. Please send a PM if interested. Thanks

Used but in good condition, Shine Racing spec Bilstein rear shocks for a Rabbit or Scirocco. Comes with threaded collars and almost new urethane upper mount bushings. $100 for the pair plus shipping. Sold.

I have a Crane XR-700 ignition box and the VW distributor converted to optic pickup that goes with it for sale. They originally came with my car but I never used them. $20 plus postage.

Fellow VW racers, I have entered Champion Spark Plug's Search For a Champion contest and need your vote to help me win. My video and story about racing a Mk1 Scirocco are up against over a hundred other entries, mostly circle track and drag cars. The VW racer vote can help me secure...

Can anyone help me identify these axles? They were supposed to be 90mm Mk1, but they are not. The inner joint is 100mm and the outer splines are different from a 90mm hub. the overall lengths are 55cm and 78cm. Could they be Mk2 or Corrado? Thanks...

I'm thinking about tow vehicles that I can stand as a daily driver. The 5 cylinder Chev/GMC Colorado/Canyon look promising. Has anyone had experience towing with them?

Has anyone found one brand of head gaskets to be thinner than others? I have a Brazilian one made Sabo that measures .075 new.

Would a 1.7 engine (with 1.6 cast into the head) have come with triple groove valve keepers?

I need a valve spring compressor for a VW 8 valve head. I have a Hastings "C" clamp style one, can I get an adapter for OHC springs? Or should I just buy a cheap new one on ebay?

I bought an older open trailer with brakes on two axles. It looked like they had not been used for some time. I installed a brake controller in my van and rewired the trailer. So far I don't get any signal on the controller that the trailer is hooked up. Where do I start trouble shooting...

I'm trying to find a 1.75 second gear from a GP, GL, 4A or GY 4-speed transmission. I think that these are from post '81 cars. Thanks.

Does anyone have some first hand knowledge with Carrera and Bilstein shocks/struts on an A1 chassis? I now have a set of each and can see some advantages with both, assuming that they have the correct valving for the spring rates. I'm just looking for some experienced recommendations. Thanks,
