Hey all. Picked up the super coupe, AKA my 1986 Audi Coupe GT, from the mech
today. Nice job, all in all. Idle - horrible. Sounds way cool, but to
those who don't know what a cam'd car sounds like - it sounds like its about
to die. THubbida thubbida thub thub thub thubbbida....etc. The exhaust is
loud, but not overbearing. Acceleration is much better than before. Nice to
get into a car that is so tight and exact. It's like riding on a razor
blade. That is loud. And has two doors. Sort of. Anyways, I'm pretty
happy, although the header is leaking at one of the connections, so it'll
have to go back next week to get that worked out. All in all, though, very
impressive. Got lots of "Cooooooolllllllllll......."'s from my friends at
work - then I managed to spin tire through first and second gears, which also
impressed them. For those who didn't know, the car got bumped compression, a
tubular header with 2.5 inch exhaust, and a 270* Elgin cam, with also a new
o2 sensor, new injectors, new lines, a new thermostat, new valve seals, and a
few other odds and ends. I'm broke. Car goes to the dyno soon - look for
results, although I'm not sure it's up to the power that I was anticipating -
but then again, I didn't get a chance to really stretch it out at all coming
home.
Later!
Carter
