They are indeed, Viscous Coupling 4wd, So as the fronts loose grip the rears come into drive more
Supercharged with a G60 Charger, the Rallye engine is different to other G60s in that its a 1H engine code, and a capacity of 1763cc as opposed to the bigger bore of the Corrado and Passat vaiants
5000 were made to allow VW to go Rallying, just wasnt very sucessfull as they had heavy restrictions placed on supercharged power

Thanks mate!
It gets a bit of attention when I'm out and about in it, use it daily and love driving it. Alot of fellow Dubbers let me outta juntcions etc which is always nice!
Theres loads more better cars than it tho, just nice to own a car that I wanted since I was 10 as I love my Mk2s. Not that fast but handles nicely and still have enough to embarras alot of newer cars out on the streets

Looks excellent, nice to see one with the original standard wheels too! ;D Its not been easy at times resisting the urge even to lower it a bit. But at RallyDay we had like 11 Rallyes or whatever, and for all the money some people plow into them, I don't think they Improve them really. I can drive it over bumps without scraping etc, and its my daily so needs to be. That's sweet... Too many of them have been modded and messed about with. As above, its nice to own a fairly clean originally spec'd one. Not that fast but a nice car to own |

 Club Gti? Wash your mouth out with soap, I wouldnt be associated with that bunch of "self tochers" if they were the last VW club on the planet! There are some people with thier heads in their own recums and then theres Club Git... I got turned away from my local meet for turning up in a Brit Looked Mk2 1300 back in 2001! That was the DubForce stand I was on, my home forum for the finest in Force Induction Dubs on the web Was a cracking day, lovely seeing some real performance cars, I felt well outta place in my heap of a Golf compared to most of the machinery there |

Sadly alot of the H20 boys (and girls) are like that tho
I grew up going to all the Aircooled shows with my brother in his Bug and the atmosphere from all that lot was so much better. Mind you that was before the internet took over, the forum back then was the local Beach Bar so you didnt really get the internet-warrior attitudes
