I'm curious why swap to mkii? I like the sitting position and the ride quality better in mk2s but I like the handling and looks much better in a mki. I also think snow flakes are ugly the only thing cool about them is they came on mki gtis. Interesting use of the aba vc haha. And I gotta agree with Tyler from what ive seen online pnw has no idea what rust is. I don't think they salt the roads in the pnw do they? I once saw a guy on vortex chop a mki scirocco up to to pieces because he thought it was too rusty. It only had surface rust and quite a bit of it but not even pinhole through anywhere and hardly any on the body mostly underneath. Man over here there would have been blood shed trying to get a mki scirocco in that good of shape. Worst rust I saw was in Michigan this summer I didn't see any cars more than 10 years old and any car more than three years old had huge deep pitted rust spots. I think maybe the Detroit three have payed the state is aggressively use salt. Anyways cool mkii haha
Westy rabbits handle like a bag of jello..
6'2" and i drive an 84 with 91 height adjustable seats. its perfect. I feel that the mk3 is the best handling I felt. Front and rear swaybar on a TDI.
Speaking of lighter weight, have you noticed a big difference between your Rabbit and Jetta since you did the engine swap? One would think the 700lbs of extra weight would be noticeable. 1800lb Rabbit vs 2500lb Jetta.
Yeah, the weight written on the registration for my 1991 is 2288lbs. Last time I weighed my car with fuel, me and my toolbox in it, it was 2500lbs. So 2500lbs is a realistic weight.
Well that didn't take long. lolLove those wheels.
