I drove my 16v from San Diego to Boston and back several times. Then drove
that same car after I swapped a G60 motor in it from Cleveland to San Diego
several times and Cleveland to Boston several times.
Never got stranded, but had a few heart stopping moments...

I've had a Milwaukee 1/2" drive lithium cordless impact for several years. It
works great, no issues. I went with the 1/2" drove as it has over 400lbs of
torque in reverse.
I've found those numbers on most of the guns are inflated. Ie: it'll say it

Once you do a stage 3 kit the G60 is pretty quick.
I had a vr6 corrado, the Windows would randomly till themselves down. Not so

I remember you working there. ND was one of the OG tuner shops, I ordered my
euro light relay harness and the hardened fog lights for my corrado from them

I did this about 15 years ago with sciroccos. I bought them cheap and parted
out the interiors/power trains. Sold the stuff via the old scirocco mailing
list.
I generally sold things for half the price of junkyards. Some thing I'd ask
for offers one with the proviso that the buyer had to mak

If I were within a few hundred miles of this car I'd go get it. If someone
lives close and is trailering out to Denver I'll buy it from you.
Don't think I've ever seen a 2l 16v with factory power windows, locks, cruise
and power recaros...

The GTi's had power recaros too. It seemed to be whatever VW had laying around
the factory floor that day. I've seen the GLi's with both manual and power

The power ones have larger leg bolsters and a wider head rest.

don't have a week of free time to go get it.
