Hi guys. I am disappointed and endlessly saddened to report that my marriage seems to have come to an end. Kidd and I have gone through some tough times economically and other external influences like the athmosphere at my work has caused both of us to close up and get depressed. Somewhere...

I want to start using synthetic oil in my 1973 VW Beetle's T-1 engine. What about Castrol 5 W50 for Summer time or would Quaker State be better? TIA

I have a 74 Rupp Centaur with a 67/68 swing & 1500. The fiber glass body is lighter than the bug was so the rear wheels slant in at the bottom.What would be the easiest way to level this thing ? When I relax the torsion bars how do you know how many splines to jump ? Or is it by trial and error.I...

Vaughn: 2010 Mustang Give Away and Driving Lessons! http://www.boschperformanceart.com/ Pretty cool website, I know Bosch has some awesome wiper blades and plugs but did not know they supported Drifting. Pretty cool site.

I wonder how that would work out ? Would it be able to run continously for days or possible weeks at a time ? After this latest ice storm I've decided I need some kind of generator that can power the entire farm for extend periods. We were able to power the house but not the well pump, electric...

If I wasn't working on 3 other vehicles i would restore this 65 bus. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180251894701&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=008 -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty

Whoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! What a rush!!!!! Decided to ride the bike in to work again today and it was almost my last trip. I stopped on Six Forks Road heading north to wait for oncoming southbound traffic to clear so I could make a left turn. That portion of Six Forks road has one lane heading...

Hi RAMVA! This is my first post here. I have been lurking for about a month now, and I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the knowledge, and wit, that I've found here! Even the few ignorant posters have had a very high entertainment value. I am hooked like a junkie! Now, on to the reason...

Anyone have any good information on this? I would like some input on why it was necessary, what engines it was used on and over what period of time. Thanks.

Any suggestions where I can search for a 68' front?

Hi Guys Well, I got around to pulling the engine out of a 75 bug given to us last month -- was waiting for a nice day and yesterday was it. Amazing how easy that is! The hardest part is documenting the connections (it is a FI model). Jan Anderson's trick of sliding the engine out the side seems so...

After an extended absence (compaq related) I am back in the RAMVA group. I see a lot of familiar names are still around.....Berckman..dragenwagen..Jan...Jan Andersson...Matt S..Mel P....MUADIP...PJ...Shag (who I think I might owe for a sp manifold). Well, my 71 standard is still in the same...

Hi Folks! Sorry for intruding on the group today. I thought some here might have an interest in the mag's. I have posted on eBay. I hope it's not out of line to post FA listings here. I have 11 issues of VW Trends from 2002 FA. Click or copy & paste the link below to view auction. Thanx! E.R....

I bought it in the fall of 2002. I've been sick and I need to pay some bills. Here's a picture of it from then: http://members.cox.net/ranny9/ Since then, one headlight ring and the bumpers have rusted and it needs a new paint job, but I just put $2800 into it, getting the heater channels...

A while back I asked how to remove the needle bearings that are in the tubes of the front axle in a Bug. Someone told me that he just pushed them deeper into the tube and inserted new ones in front of them. Well who ever told me that must have a different beam than I do. there is a stop behind...

I believe Air-Cooled VeeDubs need to be banned from freeways or any place where the speed limit is 65 mph and above for that matter. These cars don't belong on limited access highways. As logic dictates their engines are too inadequate for high speed use plus they aren't safe when drivin fast...

According to Pete Seeger, young girls have picked them. Every one. Which is kinda like whats happened with air cooled Volkswagens. Tricky wonders why no one is posting. It's because none one is HERE :-) Their VW has gone into the crusher, the people have bought a Toyota and gotten on with...
