Good Price??

[scirocco at powerlink.net (John C. Worden)]

Not going to jump in on this "disagreement," but I will offer my knowledge 
as a
former GTI owner/enthusiast(not that I don't like them anymore, just prefer 
Sciroccos.)
The '85 GTI and GLI technically came with the HT motor, which is identical 
to the
RD except one ground wire.  The following year VW removed the ground wire(pin11
on the knock box if I remember right), and had a more aggressive map to the 
computer
and 2 more HP.  So I do know that these RDs (I include the HT with it since 
the engine
is really the same), were on '85 through early '87 GTIs and GLIs until the 
16V came out.
I don't know if they brought it back on the Golf GTs or not as they were 
basically an
'85 GTI with rear drums.  I suspect they did though since the HP was the same.
As for Digifant, I didn't know they used the 10:1 motors in them; I always 
assumed it
was lower compression-but as I said, I assumed that.
