marty Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jisleyjr Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 For some reason i remember talking with someone in Omaha about a red conquest, I believe they had done a auto to manual conversion. Was this car an auto that was converted to manual? How many miles on the car? Engine work ever done? Rebuild? New head? Turbo? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksyes, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
