hey quik, the stock 4cyl springs work great for drag racing, better than the stock v8 springs however if you intend to do the autocross thing, then you should invest in some progressive rate springs like eibach or motorsports, we always use the stock 4cyl springs in our street and drag cars they are cheap and very affective. and thanks sailor, you really put me in my place, oh yah, hey sailor on that v-dun you put the head gasket in, there was one little power wire that went to the batt off, i just put it on and everything worked. thanks for the help… ---

> [@eurodad](#): > > i’ll have some work for you real soon. putting my tranny in the vw bring it on, sooner the better. i need all the fucking money i can get, as im not putting 1 fucking penny on credit card for this car. never have and never will… although i think i should charge people on how clean their car is. This last jetta i did-- it was a 95. no shit the pan leaked, the steering pump leaked, the rear main seal leaked, the rack leaked qas both inner boots were gone and greases was liquidfied, everything fucking leaked. For as much shit that was dripping, u would have thought the cars underside would be clean due to being oilled down. but nope, it was rotted out, as in holes through the floor rotted. I have NEVER seen a mark 3 vw like this… ---
