[urq] RE : Lovin' it

[Brandon Rogers]

Hi L-A-
I returned to stock intercooler (for now - I posted about my current IC
project last week or week prior) and stock alternator setup.  As much as
I loved the newfound power from the big IC - the noise from the
alternator ruined the driving experience.  Plus I never really 100%
liked where the 2B bracket put the alternator - lower and more forward.
Seemed vulnerable.

So on that note I do still have the custom modded 944T IC for sale if
anybody is interested.... 

Will hopefully know more about the new IC route this week, too. 

Brandon

Me too Brandon, mine is my daily driver and I love each minute of
driving I get. You only have one life to live, so better spend this time
behind the wheel of something special.

By the way, what was the conclusion on your alternator noise ?

Guys-
Just wanted to make a quick post - seems we ( well, I, for sure) usually
post when something just isn't right (NLA parts, CIS acting up, ball
joints, etc etc) - well I've been driving the urquattro almost
exclusively during the last week as my Daily has been in the shop - and
I gotta say - I am _loving_ it.  Its been cold and snowy - great turbo
weather IMO!  Now that the suspension is fully sorted and I'm not
dealing with the alternator crap - it has been such a pleasure.
 
The last few days have once again proved to myself why I deal with all
this crap - the car has been so fun.  The power, the braking feel, the
road feel, the SOUND!  Even with the cold weather (well not when its 3
deg F) - I sometimes drive with the window a little open - and hearing
the motor at WOT thru 7000 rpm - hard shift into 2nd then 3rd...love it.
 
Go drive your cars.
 
Brandon
