New owner here...

["rexford booth, iii" <rboot8i7@mwc.edu>]

Hello all,

I'm a new owner of an 88 Scirocco 16v.  I'm selling a 'street prepared' 92 Prelude SI because my insurance rates recently doubled (they finally noticed my tickets).  I'm using the Scirocco to get me through the rise in rates, but I'd also like to have fun with it.  I bought it for $500 and, as could be expected, it has a few minor issues.

It needs the motor mounts replaced.
The shifter assembly is incredibly sloppy.  I believe I need to replace the cup part that the ball goes into.
The shocks should be replaced.  At the same time, I would like to install some progressive springs.
I may also need a new exhaust.

I think that's about it for now.  Of course, I'd also like to bump up the performance in any way possible.  I've looked at just about every scirocco site I can find.  What I haven't found (easily at least) are product reviews.  What brands should I look into and what brands should I avoid?  Additionally, what are the weak points of the scirocco that I should address?  Finally, are there any good VW shops in the DC area?  As much as this will be something of a commuter car, I've always liked sciroccos and would like to get the most out of my first VW experience.

Thanks in advance,

Rusty Booth
