S-folks,
Well after nearly 8 months of rounding up the parts, today is the big day for 
one pearl/black '93 S4.  She's getting a complete makeover.  It will start in 
the rear with all new bushings, and a torsen diff (thanks to Bob Pastore).  
Moving forward, she'll get a fresh Kluge CRB 6 speed, a short shifter from 
Brendan Rudack (I hope), a lightweight flywheel and Centerforce clutch.  On to the 
engine bay will be a freshly rebuilt 2.2 with Carillo rods.  The engine will 
get a GT30R Garrett, mounted to a really nice tube header built by Hacke 
Racing in Sweden, and ceramic coated by Swain in NY.  The intake side will likely 
be handled by 034efi from our list friend Javad.  How's that for a 170k present 
for my little white quattro?

One disturbing find on disassembly of the rear...  My camber links are shot.  
Both have failed at the outboard mount (not the ball joint), and have play in 
the bushing.  These were both replaced with new ones less than a year ago, 
and at $100 a crack, I'm not too happy with the lifespan.  Any of you geniuses 
come up with something on these?  Any input appreciated.  But for now, it's off 
to continue with what will surely be a long effort.
Take care,
Dave in CO
