engine problems
hia anyone know whats up with my engine. when i come up to junctions and drop off the revs sometimes the engine just cuts out, if you catch it as the revs drop below idle it will tend t steady otherwise just stops. any ideas?

glad you were able to sell them! Sorry that they didn't work out and you didn't get your $$...
completely back 
The demand for those comes in peaks and valleys... you bought during a peak :-P
You give the guy the same demands that now the two of us must get rides in the car once they're installed???? I hope so!
And yes, I'm lazy. I need to pop the ISV off again and clean it, but I just don't feel like it. I'm trying to avoid buying a new one, though I know I should since this is the original and I've been fighting w/ it for the past 4 yrs... lol. I've been expelling all my energy and $$ on the 4000 lately trying to get it back on 4 wheels and driveable again... ugh. Project cars are the end of me, I swear!

Ah it's no big deal...
I came within $80-100 of what I paid for them. Plus now I have a 20vt so what more could I ask for? (umm...except for 400whp?...but thats another story...)
Hows the 4k project going? Link me to your project thread again...

yeah, you should probably give me that 20vt so I can put it in my UrQ...
BTW, if you see a parts UrS4 for a decent price, please let me know! Very serious about that. I'm in search of an AAN for the UrQ my dad, brother and I picked up.
Here's the <a href="http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10133#304179&sid=0bccaff8821395fcc b7698f8c37a46de">link</a> to the 4000 project. Newer stuff starts at the 10 or 11 page area, but feel free to read the whole thing if you're bored :-P Had a few hiccups at Watkins Glen in August which resulted in a blown heater core and constantly overheating the motor after about 15 min of track duty... but it stopped spinning out around every turn like at VIR. Needless to say, I'm still in the teething stage.
Hopefully after this last session of work (some necessary, most not really... haha) I can just drive the car and not worry about it. We'll see how successful I am.

I'll send it right over ;)
TONS of work getting done on the 4k! The suspension looks great with Mance's stuff.
I saw this UrS being parted on AF the other day (link below). Indy isn't too far...maybe you can work a deal?
You are going to have quite the stable after finishing the 4k and urq! I'm jealous!<ul><li><a href="http://audifans.com/marketplace/show.php?table=pm_audifans_Cars&id=4088">http://audifans.com/marketplace/show.php?table=pm_audifans_Cars&id=4088</a</li></ul>
