Re: The Drive 2018 (Nor-Cal)

Looks great ben! Are you going to put the door trim back on? I like them better with the trim, plus it protects from door dings.

Re: Danes street 4000: megasquirt schtuff

Just a quick thought here. Check for vacuum leaks. When we first got my v8 swapped car running it seemed that it was running way rich and when I leaned it out it ran like it was way lean. Turned out it had a huge vacuum leak in the form of a idle air port on the IM that was missed and never plugged ...

Re: Ben's V8 Coupe Quattro

Ebay SS resonator, Borla ProSX muffler. Mine's all 3" but it should sound similar, maybe not quite as deep.

Re: 2014 Nor-Cal Coast Drive SUCCESS:)

This year I made it private invite-only drive and BBQ at my house instead of doing the usual open-invite deal hence why there was no postings on forums/social media. Next years drive will be in Tahoe and then the following year it should be on the coast. Going to try rotating the location around so ...

Aint nothing wrong with little red cars, or their bigger heavier younger white brothers for that matter. At least you had another white car to show up in, and another white backup for that backup haha.

Re: Alex's CGT - 7A Swap Prep - 20v no more!

Yeah, great job for sure Alex! My only gripe (and its a small one lol) is that oil filler cap. I had one of those and it leaked like crazy, it was horrible. Do yourself a big favor and get a proper black plastic cap (autohauseAZ has them) and keep that Purdy engine clean :)

Re: Coilover question: spring rates

IIRC Jimmy (vomit comet) was blowing out his Koni's left and right when he went above 450 or 500lbs on his springs. A re-valve will definitely be in order for you no matter what brand you stick with.

Re: Danes street 4000: a resurrection!

That's too bad someone fubar'd the removal. I used a spot weld drill bit on mine and got it off clean. Do what you gotta do. FYI, on my car it was strong enough to hold the biggest radiator with a fan on it that would fit in front of the V8 and never showed a hint of weakness. It will be plenty ...

Awesome score! I was waiting for someone to pick that thing up. A suggestion if I may... I used nutserts on the frame horns to attach the core support on my v8 swapped car. The frame horns have metal lips the flare out and I installed 4 nutserts per frame horn on those lips. That coupled with how ...

Re: Exhaust system diameter choices

When derracuda and I built my 3" SS exhaust he used an idea he had never used before. He built a relief into the rear sub-frame where the exhaust passed above it. He also added a way-bigger-than-needed support to the lower side of the frame to add back any rigidity that was lost by adding the relief ...

Re: Motor into a ur quattro question

Well, since you cant use your solid lifter WX head on that block you need to find an mc1 or mc2 head, or the factory bigger valve head(NF? I cant recall). Do the usual port and polish but 20v's are very limited on mods/power. Best of luck to getting your goal of 350-400, but you will have to try ...
