Paul, as far as the Webers go I am not sure of exact filters for you. but
if you check with any european car parts store, or anybody that deals with
VW's they will most definately know the answer.

allegedly with a clutch problem. It turned out to be more serious that
that. It soon became obvious that the thrust washers had worn and dropped
into the sump. So out with the engine, more bad news came when the machine
shop crack tested the crank, yes of course it was cracked... anyway i'll
have the motor back next week, and the car should be back in action for
summer.

(despite having about 70-80% tread) so I thought that the listees might
have some opinions on what rubber i should go for. The car is currently
fitted with 13 x 5.5 TR7 mags and 185/70 13 Michelins. I was thinking of
getting a set of yokohama A509 185/60 13's. I am more interested in
performance than 100% originality as the engine has been modded to "Stage
Two" levels and sports a 45 weber (btw does anyone know the K&N part
numbers for a suitable filter unit?) and there rear end has been converted
to a Mk IV spring.
