i remember checking them out... decent prices on tdi motors and such

but no experience with them whatsoever.

lol i like how they start off their catalogue... all about timing belts, and shows like 20 pwned valves... haha

It's been awhile since i ordered anything from them (years) but I've ordered stuff from them before and had no troubles.
Their catalog is very informative. I'd order from them again. They've been around for a very long time.
Prices are a little higher than other places i shop, but they carry things my other suppliers don't have.
I was looking for a waterpump pully for a 1.5D, non-AC, small hub setup and gave them a call. They called me back on a weekend trying to help me out but I switched to big hub and had pullys for that setup.

we'll see how they are. i'm gonna order the shifter kit for my rabbit. its got all the bushings, boots, rods, and other goodies to let me get it into first gear

If you can't get into 5th it's probably just an adjustment issue, but if the bushings are sloppy you won't be able to get all of the gears sometimes, usually R or 5 is sacrificed, although I've never had a car that bad, and some of mine were miserable

yea buyer beware with them
ive gotten mixed up orders when ordering parts for multiple cars at once so be careful about doing that
id do multiple orders if you want the right parts
ive gotten cv boots that tear in 6 months from them(theysell old+dry rotted ones)
the smooth euro weatherstrip for my rabbit looked like it was for some old ford
sometimes they get it right,and you get an ok deal from them, but im not a big fan of them anymore

Thanks. I'll give them a try on this. I just looked today and most of my bushings are gone :shock: No wonder its sloppy as hell and first is a royal pain to find. btw its a four speed
