hello Vdubers!

i used to own a scirocco back in the day. a 87 16v, thing was sweet. well now i drive a nissan 240sx.

anyways, i was wondering if anyone here had or has a vanagon, preferably a 88 or somewhere around that. i really want one. hahaha. i want it as a tow/support vehicle. if someone has one could you tell me if they can tow anything bigger than a scooter? lol. or would it be better to do a suby swap into it to have the extra power to tow?

also, if you have one, have you done any thing to the suspension? like lower it? i want to lower it too.

any info will help! thanks.

 

First I'd like to say.. Scirocco 16v FTMFW Mine is an '83 with 16v swap.

If anyone went to WinterJam at Daytona.. It was the motherload of badass vans.. I'll try to get pics later for ya..

 

^ thanks for the reply!

actually, yesterday i decided im not gonna do a vanagon. they are just not strong enough to pull a car on a trailer. plus i think im moving to the mountains so there is no way. lol my new project will be either a 60s ford econoline cabover or a 60s chevy van cabover. atleast with these vans i can have the power of a v8 swap with a good drive train.

on the other hand though, im contemplating starting a scirocco project. most likely a scirocco 1 with coilovers, high comp 8v, itbs, rebuilt tranny with lsd, stripped, caged, and aero similar to the euro hill climbing scirocco 1s.

look around minute 3 and you will see a yellow scirocco.
