Well, picked it up and I've driven it a little more than halfway home from Cali. I stopped in SLC to watch the ALMS race.
Have a few questions about the car...
#1 It has euro headlites, which are still incredibly weak. I don't think there's a relay harness in the car for them, is it worth doing that with higher wattage bulbs, or just adding HID's?
#2 Where can I find exterior door handles? Both the passenger side door handles are on their last legs.
#3 The car has a complete RS2 package with the exception of the RS2 MAF. (it has the EM, turbo, injectors and cam) Is it worth spending the $450 for the RS2 MAF? Does it add that much more performance? Where can I buy one and are they really $450?
#4 The car doesn't have the pull that I expected. It boosts up fine and spools when I expect,. but doesn't seem to pull. My first suspicion is the current TAP software in the car, as well as an aftermarket cat, both of which I plan on replacing/removing. I also plan to replace the bpv. Is there anything else I should be looking into?
#5 I plan on replacing the software ASAP. This kinda dovetails into my MAF question. Should I get the software on the stock MAF, or just complete the RS2 package then get the software? What software is recommended now? I was thinking Eiche, as he's local to me, but I'd like to hear opinions...
#6 Car has Big Red's up front with A8 rotors. Can I switch to a 2 peice rotor system up front and still fit the stock Fuchs?
Got 25mpg on the drive so far, with the AC blasting and it being 103 degrees out and I wasn't going slow! Was cruising between 85-105 mph most of the way...
