Marc works on his own project?!? Cheers to that!

Money!

I feel like we've heard this before......;-)

Welp, it's in but not without its problems. Still have to fill with coolant tomorrow, the rear section of the exhaust is bungee corded up near the transmission, the wastegate reference line is plugged because I didn't have the right size hose for it, and... Wait for it...

I forgot to put the ...

No help here, but how high are you spinning?

Haven't been here for a while, happened to pop in to pickup a message so figured i would update.

Made 800whp on Marcs dyno at 15.5ish psi during 'dial in' before we got into real tuning. Foiund IAT's were getting crazy hot, then BOOM (well no boom really) smoke form the back and 5psi oil pressure ...

Sounds awesome! That's an awesome stretch of driving road!

Always a shaky "i hope to make it for at least part of it," for me. I think there may be a contingency of Phoenix/AZ folks who are solid, though.

Not certain if i'm not understanding, but i know of at least one 1.8t audi guy running the Infinity series....

I'll take the silence as too busy killing liter bikes.....and then expect to see the proof!

Oh my! That is B2TB!

Dig it, Dana! My tdi corrado is gone/done for me. The motor is on the floor waiting the new home to be ready. Watching/hearing you rip around in yours make me miss it! Looks like you've really done a bang up job-congrats!

Nice stuff, Jim! No need for a full interior to be able to drive to Vegas! ;-)

I've got a set of ATS superlights in a 7.5in width. There's LOTS of room left over. Those are as far in as i could go at a 40 offset. They leave another 1.5-2in outward for wheel and tire

Nice acquisition! I've got a spoiler and a corrosion free URQ with lots of available parts including the body. If you need anything, let me know.

Awesome! Here's to a successful trip!

Body work is rarely rocket science. It is always laborious. IMHE. Keep up the good work! It IS worth it-looks killer, and more importantly, is hugely functional. The B3 sedan is so limited in the rear for tire.

Fantastic cars! Very nice!

That's because it's not a BMW! I jest, i jest!

Haven't done it yet, but am planning on playing with the Boxter shift box and cables to shift an 01E in that orientation in my 914 project.

Hubba Hubba!

Reason I ask, is I work for Lamborghini. These things are insanely raw to drive, they make my 4k seem like a total luxury mobile. Should be a total blast to drive, I hope you decide to turbo it! That open header V8 sounds like a total beast, but even the Murcielago SV isn't enough power IMO.

Your ...

No idea if the fuel rail would make that much difference, but it sure does sound like vapor lock. Engine bay is looking great, Jim. Track events this year?

Gila Bend approaches. How's the car coming?
