1981 VW Rabbit Diesel


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, don't know if any of you remember my 78 brat that i built a while back. still have it and still plan on keeping it but for now i got a new little daily/project. 1981 VW rabbit with the 1.6 diesel and a 5 speed. gets 50mpg in town all day long, im picking up a turbo for it here soon. I've tried the VW forums but they are mostly negative, i remember liking this forum really well so here i am!

my brother had an '84 GTI in HS. I think it was a 1.8L. Previous owner turned it into a street legal ice racer, had a tuned up engine with Cams and a 'cold running switch' that did seemingly nothing.. pile of garbage really, but reasonably quick and with his mediocre driving skills, It's a wonder that car didn't kill him
