INTRODUCTION
The Third Edition of Superformance Mk III Owners Manual has
been created by and for Mk III enthusiasts who working together
build, sell, service, own, and drive these magnificent machines.
Superformance provides the rolling chassis that is the core of these
machines. The owners add their own engine, transmission, options,
and customizations to create their own personal machines tailored
to their individual vision.
In order to be of greater use to you the owner, this manual contains
information, suggestions, and recommendations far beyond the
equipment provided by Superformance. It is up to each owner to
evaluate the information, suggestions, and recommendations
contained in this manual and to make his/her own determination if
they are applicable to his/her situation. The use of such
information, suggestions and recommendations is entirely the
responsibility of the individual owner. Any questions should be
directed to your Superformance dealer.
Photographs of many different cars are included in this manual,
some with optional equipment and some with owner installed
equipment.
