Links to our favorite vendors and
technical resources for all things VW (with
editorial commentary of course)!
Vendors (parts and service):
- Aircooled.net -
He has a new website! John is an excellent source for parts and he
offers after sales support! John does his homework so you don't have
to. I've dealt with John and his company for years, and he always
comes through. If you need the best in parts, shop with him!
- Aircooled Technology - Jake
Raby's site dedicated to the Type 4 engine and applications. Jake is
an amazing source of help and information. They do some stuff for
T1, but Jake's primary passion is Type 4. An awesome resource of
information, parts, and engine kits. Jake's done a LOT of good for
the hobby, in the form of parts, research, and creating his own
forums.
- AirKooled Kustoms - Restoration
specialists located in Hazel Green, Alabama. Spook (Eric) is a great
guy besides being a metal working wizard. I've personally seen the
shop and his projects, and he does fine work.
- CB Performance - they
make some of the best performance parts. I like specifically their
intakes, air cleaners, velocity stacks, and the fact that they still
offer a lot of Dellorto replacement parts and rebuild kits.
- DRD
Racing Heads - Darren makes state-of-the-art cylinder heads for
aircooled VW engines. He also builds engines and sells good engine
kits. The heads he manufactures are very tough, badass performers.
VW interest websites

BEST Aircooled VW website, hands down. Excellent resource for
information, buying, and selling Re: VW aircooled stuff! The best
aircooled website hands down!

to a local forum, primarily middle Tennessee vw owners there
currently. I hope it grows. I know the site owners and they are
great people. Hats off for starting a new forum guys!
- Cal-Look.com - this
website has been around a long time, providing a place for race and
show involved enthusiasts to give and get information. Centered on a
specific style and interest group, the site is mostly limited to a
niche of people and topics.
