Quick question, done all I could on my 7 and now it's time to take her in to get checked by someone who knows a little more than me. (Oil coming out of front turbo hose into intake, and oil in ic hoses is my problem.) Anyways, I went and talked to the guys at AutoSolution, and they seem to be alright. Any comments, experience? Thanks for the answer Calvin, I'm definately going to keep looking to see if something comes up, that is if I'm in country. Definately agree with Nick, the sooner the better.

Thanks.. worked, but it seems to have a small leak in the core. nbd as I have another on the way, and I'll just get this one fixed soon.. easier to fix than the fittings.

The great news is, my new engine runs! yay! idles fast, but can't find any vacuum leaks. I'll try adjusting idle down, but I can't seem to find a screwdriver long enough in that mess of mine called a garage. bleh.

I'd love to be a part...love to work on my car and help out others...also, if anyone has a set of tie rod ends for an 80 I could buy off of them, please let me know. Also, I'm getting ready to do a electronic 5th and 6th port actuator conversion, if you've removed your air pump off of a series 5 engine, but didn't do anything to your 5th and 6th port, let me know and I can help.

Cool, I had not seen it looking like that. I knew I would miss the event, and phooka had just barely gotten his car running. I had some ..... medical issues .... I was not recovered by Sunday.... I pretty much spent the weekend laying around the house watching racing on TV, wishing I was at the autocross. I heard the course was pretty good for Fentress.

Cool!!

People who drive road race cars have rules that require them to replace all of their belts every few years. The ones they remove are still plenty safe for autocross and open track type events. So you should be able to pick them up fairly inexpensively that way. Of course check ebay.

If you decide to go with new stuff racerwholesale.com is usually the best place to find them.
