If he wouldn't have removed the AC, he'd have a sale... -
i've been wanting a fiji 5 speed for quite some time. can't hurt to check. auto is not a deal breaker, but removal of AC is. thx all
-
not terribly far from me; Could you post those additional pics?
-
i don't even know where to get these things. Also looking for hardpipes, let me know if anyone wants to unload any of this stuff, thx
-
i need the rear sheetmetal, passenger side behind the rear wheel. Can anyone help me with this? thx for any replies
-
true, but... (sigh) I've just always wanted one, and thats all there is to it.

a little more info on the cars: the red 88- 5 speed (was an auto at one time) 16G, cnm cam, cnm exhaust, ARE wheels w/good rubber, black leather, lowering springs, straight body, a little faded, one small spot of rust above driver side rear wheelwell. newer clutch, brakes, fidanza flywheel. my 87_ black/black, 3" exhaust, 5 speed, ASE wideband & boost control, 9" & 8" wheels, previous owner decided to cut off some rust by rear wheelwells >:-( but gave me body panels from another Tsi, occasional ticking from valvetrain: i thought it may be the balance shafts, so i eliminated them, but it still ticks. i don't think its a rod, because it doesn't do it all the time, & i've been driving it for a year this way. i will try to get my hands on a camera in the next few days for pics, my # is 402-203-1857 thanks

hi, i live in omaha, NE, have an 87 tsi i drive weekly, and an 88 in my garage which would not take much to get going (it funs, but rough; i think it may either be a tps problem or exhaust manifold issue, both items of which i have different ones to try) I have wanted a porsche 944 for some time now. both of my cars are for sale, $1000 for the 88, $1500 for the 87 obo, or trade for a 944. contact me at martygreco@hotmail.com for more info as i am rarely on this site thx for any interest
-
one last question- could i just unplug the etacs? other than the alarm system, what would be affected? thx again
-
thx for the info. anybody have a good used ETACs they want to part with?
-
i have a similar (well, same) prob. on my 87. where/what is the ETACs? thx marty
-
yes, the previous owner did the auto to 5 speed conversion. about 76<000 miles, no balance shafts or jet valves, CNM cam (all this is what the previous owner told me) it has a 16g i'm going to switch with my black 87, unless i can sell both. Maybe i did speak with you before, as i mentioned the car has just been taking up space in my garage the past 2 years or so
-
no belt, but i think the pump is actually bad. body is straight, somewhat sun faded. small amount of rust about driver side rear wheelwell. i have to borrow or buy a camera to put up some picks. couple of cracks on front airdam, but it is there
-
i've got a '88 tsi thats been sitting in my garage for 2 years, red/blck int., sp lowering springs, fidanza flywheel, short throw shifter, ARE wheel w/good tires, CNM 3" exhaust; runs sluggish, i suspect either a warped manifold, i will include another one, or a bad TPS, i will include another one. power steering doesn't work. also, new clutch/brakes 2 years ago. $1000. Or, i will trade this & my 87 black tsi daily driver for a 944 porsche or 2nd gen 300zx. will take pics later, located in omaha, NE

I got around to installing the BSEK kit, & did a jet valve elimination while i was at it. the information you guys gave me was invaluable, thanks so much. & now, the aftermath: good news, & not so good. the noise is gone, that appears to have been the source of it; oil pressure is very high, that was another of my worries; a slight antifreeze leak, i'm hoping it is just a clamp i have to retighten, i have not yet located it; but upon driving the car, it backfires like a mother! it keeps blowing off intercooler hoses, & will not stay running. I tried to be meticulous upon re-assembly, but something is not right. suggestions? thanks again guys
