Toyota and gotten on with...

What exactly is "stock"? by
Rev Turd Fredericks
I recently bought a 1971 Super Beetle from the original owner. For all
intents and purposes it is about 99% stock. The only things changed are
the radio (with BIG speakers behind the back seat), the trunk liner the
window handles and *maybe* the sun visors (I'm not sure about those but
they...

fix it up to a good get around town car. We're fortunate enough to

Emergency brake cables by
azazel scratch
Last month I replaced the left emergency brake cable on my 1974 Super
Beetle. The new cable went right in and through the tunnel. Today I tried
to replace the right cable but the threaded end will not go all the way up
the tube. I tried greasing the cable and tube but the threaded end hits...

stalls while braking by
Eddie
It just started a few of days ago. I finally confirmed yesterday. When It
idles, I put the brakes on, it will start to stall. It stalls when I brake
and turn the signal on, but only at an idle. I know it is probably a
electrical problem. I wanted to know if anybody has ever had this problem.

"Volkswagen vindicated by its new Rabbit" by

Volkswagen vindicated by its new Rabbit
When practically everybody in the car business abandoned hatchbacks as
if they were infected with some sort of bird flu, Volkswagen stubbornly
stuck to the design with its Golf.

Quick dual port question by
Jakalope
On the left side of my Type 1 1600 Dual port engine, just before the
manifold on the left side curves down and goes into the engine ports,
there is a little capped tube sticking out. Sticks right out of the
metal. It looks to be a vacuum intake of some type. It's capped,
but the rubber is...

Posting on different forums... by

Hey guys,
Do I risk p*****g a lot of folks off by posting a question both here
and on the likes of the Samba/Shoptalk forums? What's the netiquette
for posting the same question to multiple groups? Different groups do
seem to have their own followers; I'm sure most of us tend to frequent

Rust prevention.... by

What can I put on the floor pans and extra luggage area to keep them
from rusting? Where do I get the stuff? And can I paint over it to
match the color of my car or make it black (if it isn't already black).
Soon I will have the extra luggage piece out of the 72 Supper and ready
to weld in my 71...
