Who is goin to Waterfest?

[Stifko]

Its the biggest VW shindig on the East coast and its tomorrow. I seem to remember there being some VeeDubbers on this forum. I think I am gonna go, its in Jersey.

waterfest.net is their url, I never been to one of these. I just got a new exhaust in my rocco, just in time.

I would love to go but I can't. What year is your 'Rocco?

I got an 87 8v. The new parts include an exhaust manifold from an older 8v (2 to 1) a dual TT downpipe and TT from the cat back. The engine breathes so much better now and the low end torque increase is huge. When I am bogged down in a gear, its outta the hole so much quicker. Plus my fuel economy is supposed to be better too, but I dunno yet.

You gotta VW yakko? I don't know if I am gonna go either. It is kind of a ritual. Have you been in the past to them?

I currently have a 92 Jetta GL that will hopefully soon have a VR6. My first car was a 77 Scirocco with an 83 GTI 1.8 and 5 speed. If I get off my lazy ass and get a second job I know where I can pick up an 81 Rocco.

Is the 81 clean and rust free? If the price is right, I'd say grab it. These A1s are so easy to work on & parts are pretty plentiful.

You're going to put a VR6 into your A2 Jetta? I'd like a newer VW, but the roccos are really nice. The 81 is still the first gen and ever rarer than the MK2. Later you can put a 16v into it.

cool more vortexers.. too bad its so far away (atlanta). I'm not sure i'd want to roll my turbo 'rado that far..

The 81 is pretty clean and the price is good but I got no money.🙁 If I can get it the 1.8 in my car will go in it when I get the VR6. The VR6 will most likely have a supercharger.
