once the drill is up there, it's not so bad, i didn't have to remove the cv, the lower stress bar, the intake or anything else... i NEVER want to do it again though.

ya, i did that already, my friend gave me a neuspeed throttle body w/ new linkage for free! it pays to be nice to people some times :-)

now that you mention it, does anyone have a used solid lifter cam lying around for cheap? I can't have a digifant golf beat me! Do you still have that distributor lying around?

i didn't check the mixture last night after the new O2 sensor, so it's probably off a bit. I'll also bump the timing to 12 and see what happens, i think it's at 8 now.
