I was gonna let the Roach go for a project car to a buddy...

I came to my senses and realised theres more to this than just a car...theres a whole lot of me in there,more than a dash of APR and ECS tuning and a bit of the modshack....I had to keep it if only for historical reference.

It still has to visit the bodyshop for rocker replacement spoiler install,Caratere grill new headlights (in Ti, cheers Bob) and fix the 3.2 nose...the its adios to the LM's to get them refinsished after they had been used for a "Driving by feel" course

I did finally get AC today...had a dead compressor clutch...my tech was able to salvage one from an old compressor and hook me up with cool cool air...it gets hot down here near The Swamp...the dash indicated 111 deg a couple of times today....not to mention fla's horrific humidity along with that magic number...wasnt fun rollin with no air.

If anyone is close to Gainesville FLA and needs an awesome tech with good skills with our cars I email me for some info

Default yessir...25psi is putting a real hurt on the yokels in Gville

... I really do have to behave though due to the fact its less than 2 weeks from skool for these tards and johnny Law is flexing his muscles letting the kids know the speed limits the painful way.....I guess its only a mtter of time before I get pinged...hopefully the fact I am pals with a few of em and shoot with em will...well you know ;-)

Default since imitation is the ultimate form of flattery...>

would you be willing to share where you have come across the wicked cool quattro badge you have on the rear of the Roach?

Default Spent many months on ebay trolling for it...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3088/roach.jpg"></center><p>I may be removing it in deference to a UrQ quattro badge I managed to source which was what I sported orginally... so hit me up in a couple of weeks to see if its available

Default 18" s, 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the rear

225 up front and 255 in the rear....I'm gonna step up to 235 up front and 265 in the rear soon though.
And the avavailabilty or lack there of is why they are going away to get refinshed...
