somehow my posts always get lost at the end of a page, so nobody sees em.

I am wondering who all is going that weekend, so I can decide whether or not to get off work. I don't wanna go all by myself. How lame would that be.

I would like you to give me some rough baseline settings for my SAFC.
Thes car runs beautifully still running it about 4k max and a very little boost.
The car seems hard to start when she's cold, or the first start of the day. but perfect when she's warm Any suggestions. TPS is perfect 1 volt. Timing is dead on.

Anyone know where I can buy a manual boost controller, Turbo XS or equal

i think i know what you were trying to do, you were trying to line the inductive pickup right on line with the point. i think when you stab the CAS its supposed to turn just a little so it will look a bit off but timing will be right. thats at least what happend to me.

Hey guys Jeremy and I took some good pics of my car Saturday after such a thorough washing. Check out my new sig at the bottom.

New paint and better lighting did wonders.

Does anyone know of any cheap s5 fc's around here for sale? Perhaps one that's been wrecked, but still runs? I'm looking for an engine for my '91 vert. I've got a blown front rotor in my current engine and was considering doing a rebuild myself, but being that I have limited skills with such things, I'm trying to budget a lot of time for it by putting a "donor" engine in my car until I can finish a rebuild... perhaps with some mild porting. Anyway... it seems like there are REALLY cheap fc's around here now and then so I'm just putting out the feeler message to see if y'all know of one right now.

Alternately, if you know of anyone who does good, cheap rebuilds, I could just skip the whole DIY thing and get it done by someone else. Anyway, lemme know.

Would anyone happen to have one or two FD wheels that I could borrow for a test fit? With a tire would be a real plus. I'd give you a deposit to hold upon their return.
