That has the following mods:
I bought the car 2 months ago because it already had the 16v
conversion done to it. Not only that but it also had schrich
268's and every suspension component add on was already there.
The down side is that who ever did the conversion abortioned the
wiring harness for the 16v, so I have to use a harness from an 86
scirrocco 16v, I had bought to do the conversion on my 84 Jetta.
The process is slow due to a lack of cash flow for the project car.

Your web site is awesome and good luck with your project cabrio.

Plan,eventually,to get a transmission out of a scirocco so the RPM will be dropped by 500 or so when in 5th gear-the noise I currently endure when in 5th gear drives me nuts! General comments: I am really glad the guy who sold the GTI to me is also a mechanic and we're becoming good friends as this car has had to be worked on several times since I got it a month ago-like a new radiator ,new headlight switch assembly, re-wire horn,find source of oil leak,etc.).He does a lot of the work for free while I look over his shoulder. I urge you to warn those considering buying a GTI to take inventory of their own mechnical skills as these cars are getting old and replacement parts are getting somewhat harder to find.

My intent was to use the engine from it in my 82 Rabbit, but I have decided to try to restore this GTI and drive it. I haven't had time to get into the technical parts of the 16V engine, but it is out of an 87 Scirocco, which puts the air box on the same side as the original Rabbit. The car has Sendel 15" wheels with 195/50 tires and some sort of aftermarket free flow exhaust sytem with a dual down pipe. With the stock 84 GTI trany the 5th gear is just to low for cruising at 75 mph for very long, so that is going to have to be changed. The car is black with the original dark blue interior. This is the first black car I have every owned and it is growing on me. After all of the much needed body work is done, I think I will have it repainted black again. General comments: Nice website.

The extra 2bhp will come in handy when and if it's legal after its test on the 20 February.

General comments: I'm glad to find your site and I've bookmarked it. I bought this GTI in August 2001, the guy selling it claimed it got 40 mpg and I needed a car to get me to medical appointments at a Veterans Hospital 60 miles from home, not only is it the first VW I've owned, it's the first car I've owned and I will turn 50 years old in a couple of months. I've been driving pick ups, vans, and motorcycles for the last 34 years and must say if I would have known how much fun these GTI's are to drive I would have bought one years ago. I am now a total novice and am learning all I can about my GTI, 40 mpg was a load was one of my first lessons, I get 28.5 after a tune up and all new filters and I've been told that's not bad, I rebuilt a motor in a European VW bus that my Grandfather bought new in Germany in 1971, the rebuild was just a top end and that was in 81. the biggeat problem we have here is rust, I am putting new front brake pads, a rotor, and a caliper on my GTI and when I went to jack it up the jack knocked off huge pieces of rust, I think restoration is not realistic with this Rabbit but I am going to try to make it last as long as possible, given I'm not concerned about looks and all the information on the internet and sites like yours I should be able to keep a mechanicly sound, good running, Rustoleum covered rust bucket GTI rolling for another 18 years, thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.
