    Cool. Can't wait to see what my Golf can do on the track. May need to get some new tires. Not only that but Mosport is nearby. Did someone want to contact Pfaff's up in Newmarket or Owasco? J.

    How much for an A2 TDi Swap

    I guess Go Faster's estimate was pretty good. I've never added up the bills (to avoid depression). I do know I did a lot more than just pop a tdi in an A2. I did lights, fenders, seats, alarm, mirrors, tint, brakes (front & rear), sway bars, strut brace, chip etc...etc....etc. All that added up...

    big brake kits?

    RPI have a 12.3" Wilwood kit available. Not sure if it would fit a Passat. Call for pricing (604-944-0494 and talk to Dustan). I have the 11" Wilwood kit and I really like it. Looks great. One caveat would be that you would need a 17" rim to fit the 12.3" kit. Something else to possibly...

    Peloquin Differential group buy???

    I have had no experience with either but reading various threads on VWVortex on the issue, they are both identical in form and function. Both offer the same lifetime guarantee (I believe). The big difference between the 2 is that the Peloquin comes with the necessary bolt kit while the Quaife's...

    1992 Golf TDI....Final Pics!!!!

    Well so far things are going well. The engine bay needs a damn good clean and the car needs a wash so I can inspect the body work and do some touch ups. I made the decision to run it in the winter so I must deal with the consequences. This isn't a show car (didn't win the lottery so can't afford...

    Where to find Higer Cetane Fuel in Canada

    I contacted Jeff @ Sunoco about this via e-mail. I pointed him to this site and in one reply he said that he would update this site with information once it becomes available. I also made a request for the Sunoco at Thickson @ 401 be considered as a site, and he said he will forward it for...

    Who sells Hella in B.C.?

    Give RPI a call and talk with Dustan. 604-944-0494. I know they deal with Hella. May also want to give Momentum Motorsports a shout or Denon Motorsports. The later 2 you will have to dig up their number. J.

    Drum brakes --> Disk Brakes! Is it possible ?

    Well, it depends what your current set up is. I don't know how big your set up is, but if it isn't 11" rotors you could move up to that size. I think for A4's you can move up to 12.3" based on the Audi set up. I know RPI sell a kit $1000+ US for the 12.3" set up. Need 17" rims to clear the...

    The Chips are In---Wett vs Upsolute

    Then the next question becomes, what to do with the Wett chip? Hmmm, I suppose I should go a hunting for the stock chips, just in case. J.

    The Chips are In---Wett vs Upsolute

    So did you just get the Wett chip flashed or an Up chip put in? I have the Wett one and haved toyed with just adding an Up TB. Will the Wett work well with the TB? Hmmm, things to consider for my wee beastie. J.

    TDI Transplants: Corrado TDi?!

    RPI in Port Coquitlam, BC (604-944-0494) did my TDI in a A2 swap.(see pics in Gallery). It can be done, if enought time and patience. There are a number of problems but it is similar to putting a VR6 into a A2 body. It is also a lot of fun to drive!! The added fuel economy is just a nice...

    VW wins "tampering" case in BBB arbitration

    Re: VW wins \"tampering\" case in BBB arbitration Somebody a VW has their head up somewhere. Pretty unbelievable. I remember when my folks bought their TDI (2nd hand) the dealer said that any mods void the warranty. Even suspension ones!! Sometimes it makes me wonder about the product we have...

    Differences between an A3 & A4 TDI?

    The A3 is the easiest way to go. It doesn't mean to say that an A4 TDI wouldn't fit. People put 1.8T in A2 Golf's & Jettas, although I think that they don't use Passat ones. Also the ability to find an A3 engine is greater than an A4 (although they aren't too common). I think Johnathon Bartlett...

    1992 Golf TDI....Final Pics!!!!

    Thanks for all the compliements. Brendan: seach the site for my previous posts. There are about 3 that have descriptions and pictures. Search under "conversion" or something like that. It can be likened to dropping a VR6 into the A2 chassis. To answer addition ?'s: Yes, that is the stock TDI...
