Die Leiche aus dem Wald wird geborgen.

WTF, VW Heritage?!?

So apparently, these KYB GR-2 shocks can fit the front AND rear of, and I quote, "Any type 2 van from 1969 onwards"....


Errrrr, am I being stupid or what?!?! I can't unscrew them or extend them any further... unless there's a secret way. But VW Heritage insist they are for the front and rear!

Any ideas?

Arguing the case fit build vs buy

Arguing the case for build vs buy

......"If you're unlucky enough to have an engine that was casually rebuilt using rods from different weight groups, the difference between the heavy and light rod could be as much as 16 grams. (Engines that have two heavy rods on the same side have a characteristic lope at idle that conventional wisdom says is the sign of a 'hot' engine, mistaking the lope for the valve overlap of a high performance cam.)"......
