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?

I'm starting to put stuff back on to my short block and tried out the dipstick. With a new BSI baffled oil pan the dipstick hits the baffles and can't go in by about 2 inches. If this is this normal how do you check your oil level? Thanks

Are there any identifying marks on a G Grind cam?

I have a set of BSI Delrin bushings to install on the control arms. Does the large boss on the rear mount go to the front, pushing the arm forward? Or does it go towards the rear, pulling the arm back? Thanks.
