Americans always got screwed with Sciroccos . . .

we never got the MK1 Scirocco GTi with the 1588cc
110hp motor . . .

The JH was actually available in europe. It probably
had a slightly better cam - it put out 95hp over
there.

There were many different 1.8 8V motors in europe. The
best was the DX, which was rated at 112hp. the
compression ratio was 10:1, compared to 8.5:1 on the
JH.

I don't have time to get into T-bodies and all that
right now :(
