negatives dawg. I need to use if for 2 years then we can talk.

I'll also likely be between $1k and 1500 for a take off bed in the future, but then the :truk: will be mint.

Deets on pricing. Truk was busted and trans was toast. Company was offered $2200 on trade as-is in poor shape needing work with high miles.

I was offered truk at $2200, which I agreed. My dad felt bad for getting me nothing for christmas and told me I could have the truck for 1k. :alpo:

I finally got a :dillerman: dill. Hell I had to pay like $4500 for a not running :doge: cummins.

What car did that 16V engine in the Rabbit come out of?
unsure honestly. it was one of the 3 engines I got with the car. the 1.8 actually was out of fax's old old cabby. I guess it was a junk yard pull. the bottom is a 2.0 and I think the current head is a 2.0. That throttle body is off a 16v passat with auto trans which has a TPS for efi. The manifold is a 50mm euro one.

Wait till you see the motor Im building. bored over to 2.1L aba long stroke block with all the forged bits and high comp pistons. and a 1.8 ported 16v head with autotech cams and HD springs.
I didn't think it looked like the 1.8 IM so you're probably right that the head is 2.0. I seem to remember the air box/filter and TB were on the driver's side of the engine in my 'Rocco, which was a 1.8, while this one is on the left, if I'm not mistaken.
:wap: Where are these mangos?

Ah yes. Head is same. It's the intake manifold that changes. On early cars TB was on driver side. Later it moved to the pass side. Both manifolds bolt up to either head. I have the scirroco style manifold too but it's 42mm. The ULTRA rare manifold is the 50mm scirocco.

Interesting. Didn't know the manifolds were so interchangeable. Wait, 50mm what, throttle body or intake runner id? What year Scirocco had a 50mm whatever?

I think he finally came around when I showed him just how bad and gritty the fluid was. Obvious clutch pack particles.

He is actually really proud that Im driving a :truk: again. Kept repeating "man thats a really nice :truk: " And Im just looking at his $66k new 2500 Denali like :bruh: Its just an appliance to me.

I have clients that come in giant King Ranches and other brand new full sizes and I just gawk at the prices of those things. Meanwhile I've got a $3K beater that's still running solid at 230K miles that I could give two shits about other than keeping it running good. Big and new is nice, but man, at what cost? I thought my $400/mo note for the GTI was high, but man, some of these $50-70K trucks have got to be setting these people so far back
