[V8] Black car lives

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey, well I got that new to me Black car in May for $200.  The  
interior is so mint, I'm stealing the seats/steering wheel to throw  
in the 5-speed.  Apparently it was mostly driven by his 110 lb wife  
and the seats have no creases in them, and Roger, the nets in the  
back are tight.  Anyway, it hadn't run in 3 yrs, and I swapped the  
distributors/wires/new plugs/battery, and it sparked right up but ran  
rich.  Got OX code, and replaced...still got code.  After hearing  
Dave's story about that carbon canister solenoid valve, dug into that  
and realized the diaphram was ripped, and low and behold, so was my  
spare(anyone with running issues might want to check it out...I'd  
never even looked at it in all these years....Stole the one off the  
parts car in the driveway, and ran way better, but still leaked down  
fuel wise.  The pump was REALLY noisy, so I swapped it with a spare  
and was amazed at how little junk was in the tank....still leaked  
down.  Was thinking I'd have to mess with injectors, then decided to  
check the FPR again(checked it when I got the car), and there was gas  
dripping out the vacuum hose(which also had a crack in  
it)......Swapped it out, Now it's all good, no smoke/runs-idles  
perfect....AC even works...Ha
Today I decided to swap some front axles(torn boots), and found the  
UFO rotors (which work fine/no shimmy), but are right @ the wear  
mark.  I'm selling this car cheap to a friend who's daughter needs a  
car, and he's going to let her drive the 99 A8, and he's going to  
drive this.  They live in the northernmost point in the US(Neah Bay),  
and there's a lot of windy/cliffy/kinda need reliable brakes kind of  
area.  I've got a nice set of used UFO's, and since both my Lago, and  
5-speed have UFO's, I'm thinking of throwing my good used set on this  
car which will leave me with no backup....Just checking if anyone's  
got some good used UFO rotors they'd part with...I'll pay or swap  
with parts/got 2 complete sets of G60+ towers?  ..I've committed to  
doing the timing belt on this car since it's worth it, and really  
need to stop the hemmorage @ some point, and I've got no problem  
using used rotors if they are worthy.  Also want opinions on  
pads....I found a cheap set for $40, but will probably pass, but it's  
pretty cheap.....I've got the dealer ones on both Lago and am  
assuming same on 5-speed(he bought a lot of dealer parts), and are  
wearing great/no complaints....Also, anyone with any shocks laying  
around, let me know.  Hope all's well with everyone...Sincerely, Tom
