Re: Anyone own a '97 or '98 Jetta???

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

My 81 used to vibrate like crazy! Now it's as smooth as a Lexus. (well,
i've never actually been in a lexus, but it's real smooth all the same,
even with a poly front mount)
All I had to do was put a completely built and balanced 1.8 in with all new
motor mounts! :)
