Trading cars, am i nuts?
« on: October 03, 2010, 10:57:11 am »
ok, so im stripping the 84 rabbit of all its turbo goodies and trading it off for a 90 Wolfsburg Jetta GLi 16v.. tornado red, straight body, stock BBS wheels, and oh yea, FULL RECARO interior!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/1974726832.html

am i giving this guy way too good of a deal? or am i doing the right thing because im getting something that i really want? and its supposed to be a VERY STRAIGHT car. and pretty reliable..

just wanna make sure im not doing something horrible here..

but im getting rid of the rabbit because i dont fit in it.. its just too little inside. knees go to the dash.

What's the matter with motronic? I'm pretty familiar with 1.1 and 1.3 versions; while not hugely tunable the available chips give a nice boost in performance.
