New Motor and questions??

Hay guys, car is going like an absolute dream, but boys being boys (and some girls) i want more power, nothing stupid. anyway to get to the point, where can i find a turn key motor? and what sort of price am i looking at. qould love a mild 2L motor.

hope this is an easy one for ya guys

and i need a new drivers side front shock insert, really i am asking this coz the local Repco store are morons and will say that they cant get one, so if i have the part number it will make this alot easier, i hope you guys can help

give penrose a call for starters

Never go to a NON VW shop for spares..

Not sure where you are located..

do you mean the small metal bit that goes inside the rubber bushing??
If So, I haven't been able to buy one either..
I cut a shock absorber to get get one out..

cheers

u can only get strut inserts in pairs
which is sensible anyway cos the other side would be worn abit to
repco should be able to get them but better of going thro one of the vdub suppliers

depends what kinda ride ur after cos different brands ride differently
ive been thro boge, cofap, KYB and empi inserts on mine till i finally settled with Koni's


unless u wanna race the hondas and nissans depending how good ur current motor is try just doing some bolt on mods to it

u would be surprised how much a quality header, twin carbs and some ratio rockers wake up a stock motor

i need a new drivers side front shock insert, really i am asking this coz the local Repco store are morons and will say that they cant get one,

replace both side at the same time Vintage 02-9789-1777 can supply both Hydraulic and Gas inserts via post overnight if you need them quick
do you know how to change them ???
