    Finally got duals

    Yes, so happy that I got dual exhaust installed today and am truely loving it. Mach 1 take offs with straight back true dual pipes, so no H or X. Sounds wicked, atleast when you are used to stock lol. It does get some popping at high RPMs when you just rev it in neutral, but still sounds good...

    Might be selling

    Yeah, thinking about selling my 1993 2.3L auto (yes, A4LD...ack) hatch. Could say I got laid off this week because they were overstaffed, so out of a job and my bank account is starting to run dry. I never wanted to sell it because it was my first car, loved it and it was absolutely reliable...

    Think this setup might work?

    First off, I know this is the hard 2.3 turbo way, but I want to try it out, because I know I don't see it often and it would be cool and have the look of a sleeper. Does anyone think a rear-mounted turbo would work on a 93? I'm going to rebuild the engine with forged anyways, so that's not an...

    2.3/2.5 Crate engines

    I was browsing the web (mostly trying to find a new water neck) and found out Esslinger, who makes aluminum D heads, is now selling a 2.3 and 2.5 carb crate/turnkey engine. http://www.circletrack.com/techarticles/general/ctrp_0504_four/ It looks like a very nice engine with around 210hp...

    Can't speed past 65

    Early I had some problems with hesitation under 2500rpms, turns out there was very low compression due to burned valves. I also suspected the fuel pump had issues as the fuel pressure wasn't very constant, but it still held atleast 33lbs which can hold the car running. Now that I have the head...
