Ready to go!

CONGRATULATIONS!

not that my opinion matters, but I'm in favor of stock. I don't understand why people want to lower VWs...

with the tranny earlier this month. My boyfriend took the car home with him to his shop and proceeded to rebuild the transmission and repair some of the neglected areas on the car that needed to be done for inspection. (ie. axle boots, tie rods, finish the 12 volt conversion, new oil cooler, new shocks etc. etc.) Anyway he finally finished everything last night and we will be heading to the safety inspection on Monday morning. I was so concerned she wouldn't be ready for the great canadian weekend (9 days away). But she's purring beautifully and waiting for me at my new house on the island. I'm still debating about whether or not to leave her stock or build a 1776 and get a 2 inch lowered beam with dropped spindles. There aren't that many stockers around here so maybe I'll just leave her as is. The gas mileage on the 1200 is hard to walk away from !

sounds great! looking foward to those pics :-)

Oh god knows how much i miss the 1300sp milage when compared to my new

1679cc dual carb.... It drinks more gas than i do alcohol! Maybe i should give it the alcohol and keep the gas for my self!

I'll trade you my 1200 SP for your 1679 dual carb and I won't even charge you extra cuz I'm a nice guy like that. :-D Wait. 1679? What's that? I've never heard that displacement for a VW engine before.

corrodes the vessel that carries it.

You know I think I like my 1200 better then my 1600 engines. My 1200 just seems to run stronger, and its so much more reliable. I feel like I don't have to worry about it.

no way thug...i wouldn't bash them, because i lack personal experience with them...i just see the arguments against them as logically valid...i have run many sets of 92's with no problems even though they also have a bad rap... J
