The real question is, when you turn your car on, does it return the favour...



I hate that stupid cadillac commercial, but I've driven the scirocco more
than I have in the previous recent years.  Things have been pretty good
since the car broke 100 miles after it was used at the wedding in the summer
of 06.

Axles ... twice on each side.  The first ones were POSes
Coilovers
complete tranny disassembly/reassembly
80% shim kit
blind tuning
half-blind tuning
3 different coolant expansion tanks
less floppy shift linkage
fuel line updates

left:
GET TACH WORKING (using coilpack...)
find the coolant leak (please dont be the headgasket...)
GOOD tuning.  Anyone know why VWs have 6deg advance at idle?  it makes me
wonder what a good timing curve should look like
