  1. MK1 Rabbit Transmission
    Hi, I've tried searching the forums to see if I could spot the problem but no luck! It's an '84 GTi that sat for a while and when I went to move it and pushed the clutch pedal it went waaay to easy to the floor for 3/4 of the way. But it won't engage ANY forward gear and trying to shift to...

    Can you guys please explain to me the whole "stretched tires" thing? I don't understand where the trend came from and if it serves a purpose, or is strictly cosmetic/trend. I've never seen it on an air-cooled VW, but I have noticed that stretched tires seem to be more popular with early...

The ET35 are selling for $140 (with shipping) less. Assuming the steelies have an 6.5 wheel and an ET47 offset I get the following results for...

    I was on my way to work this morning heading west on the service road of the Long Island Expressway. We were all stopped at a light, and traffic had just started moving when the Grand Cherokee in front of me slammed his brakes. I slammed mine, and cut the wheel to avoid him. I felt the...
