    My small ground that goes to the fender gets extremely hot, melting insulation kinda hot? What would cause this? My car did fine for about 1 week after putting it together and now as soon as I crank the motor over it's so hot you can't touch it. Could it be my starter drawing a ton of amps...

    Well my quest to perfect my vert continues.... In the conversion process the 88 A4LD was used and according to the person that did the conversion he had to "redo" a bit of wiring to make it work from the 93 computer. Does anybody know if in fact the 88 trans is different from the 93 and if...
