That 'Fella' is our own Eric Soltwedel on the list here. $125 (shipped I think) for the crossmember brace. You'll have to talk to him about fitment on cars other than roccs, but from what everyone says, it does the job. Eric's email is: scirocco@vintagewatercooleds.com 
I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

I disagree. My first GTI, I broke Rad support. Granted, it was my first VW, and I abused it badly, however, I think all of these cars are potentially weak up front with added power. Why? For the simple reason that they were never designed to take it. However, there is an easy answer to fix the trouble; a front-end reinforcement. On Vortex, there is a fella on the Scirocco Forum (IIRC) that came up with a reinforcement to try to minimize this problem. All who bought it said that they could feel the difference in driving (yes I know, not scientific, but give me a break). I do agree that the Scirocco seems more prone to this, but it can happen in the Rabbit as well. I am working with a friend here who is fashoining a few of these. I will need two. :-) (GTI, and pickup)...
