Ren, you do realize you shouldn't put lexan in your side windows. It's a PITA. most our race cars run without side windows, and lexan front and rear windows.

hey gus im interested in swapping all of them , just to keep it street legal looking ???

Lexan side windows are OK if you don't need them to go up and down.... If you do, consider the old Shelby way that eleminated all the mechanism to roll them up and down, and replaced it with a nylon strap and a couple of snaps.

Last night I had a weird dream where I really needed to install water injection in my intake, but I didn't want to do it. I think my wife is right, I'm a little obsessed with my car.....

I can empathize. I've found myself slipping into modes of OCD with my current project. I've found myself thinking about it in the middle of the night and not able to sleep. This can't be good eh?

I need a hobby..

Oh wait, that's the problem.

LOL, yeah. One of the reasons I got the car was to have a hobby and my wife has been encouraging me for years to find a hobby. Now she wishes sometimes that I didn't have one. Though she never complains about going for drives in the car

Ahh, ok. Am that memorable/goofy that she remember me after meeting me once for a few minutes?? I have no idea which one she was at the store, lol.

You're not the only one that happens to Dale. I've been kept awake by plans and trying to figure out how to engineer things, and how this would work if I did this. Oh well.

Talk to VaGambler, he might have all those parts locally. As long as you're doin' a S4 to S4 TII tranny swap, I think that's all you need.

Dome , if you can get all that in working condition , then you need to go ahead and make the trip . It should not take you 1 hr to do the hard part of the swap . ( dropping the old rear assembly and reinstalling the new one.) The last rear end ( pumpkin) i sold for $400..

Let me know if you need any other parts/ info

Here is a pic of the greddy Power extreme, I thought it was a little too big w/out the bodykit, but now I think its perfect.

No, but if someone gets the 5 lug from you and takes of a 4 lug, let me know. I want a set of brakes from a 4 lug. I am not willing to pay much for them, but I will give ya a little fo them, since most people consider them scrap....

I've got one. 90k mile S4 TII tranny. Bought as a spare a few years ago - never used. Shoot me an email at cafcwest.at.gmail.dot.com if you wanna discuss.
