Re: WTB L20b flywheel and clutch

Generally speaking you wouldn't want a lightened flywheel for street driving. The lightened flywheel is much better when you have your foot on the gas accelerating. Most of your daily driving does not consist of these conditions. Hour car will decelerate much faster when off the gas, you will have t...

Re: WTB: seat riser

I'm looking for a seat riser. I seem to have one that's 3" tall and one that's 2" tall. If for whatever reason you only have one I would like it, otherwise I'll take a pair from someone. My zip is 90278. 2" riser goes on the inner mount and the 3" riser goes on the outer mount. ...

Re: New (kinda) 510 owner here

If your crank pulley has multiple marks - it should go with a single pointer. If there is a single mark on pulley - there is a sawtooth marker that has two bolts to the front cover. If it will idle at all - I would get the ignition timing correct before I did anything with the carb. once the engine...

Re: New (kinda) 510 owner here

and after closer review, i think i found the problem here, and this is my first time really working with carbed cars so please excuse the ignorance. After looking at exploded views of the 32/34 to find the idle screw, i have discovered that the carb is missing the auto choke. i now feel pretty stupid.

Re: New (kinda) 510 owner here

The 10 before TDC is without the vacuum advance right?

And it turns out it does run as is. I just need to keep it under throttle until it warms up to operating temp, then it starts up just fine without it.

New (kinda) 510 owner here

A few years back i bought a 510 wagon with the hopes of turning it into my DD. i bought a lot of parts at the time to give it some life, but i kept searching for the right seats that i wanted to put in it (mk2 gti Recaros) and never really went any further with the car, because its no good having a ...
