Default looks like it needs alot more rock

some guy on ebay sells Hatian live rock, its stunning looking, at $150(iirc) for 50 pounds. I'm thinking about going in for it for the 24g tank

Default 24 gallons seems on the small side for a reef tank.

I don't know what kind of filtration system you're using but you don't have a lot of buffer if anything bad should happen in a tank that small.

Default The conversion would be much easier on the 40V engine, but....

the throttle by wire might give you some trouble. The S4 tranny's gearing is perfect for the A8 and it is strong enough. ( B5 S4 guys run over 450 HP )

Default And it would be perfect on track :-)

- You'd only use 1st exiting the pits.

- 2nd would be great for all the slower corners and carousels.

- 3rd would be great thru Mid-Ohio's Turn 1 :-)

- You still get meaningful acceleration in 4th, unlike the A8/S8 Tip.

- You'd get into 5th on all the long staights at Mid-Ohio, Grattan, or Road America. [The Tips never see 5th on track.]

You need to join us on track next year!

The 6th gear is equal with the 4th tip.
