Yep, You will have to meet up with somebody.. However, that person isn't me. I am going to be goign to Brazil for a while, so my uncle STIrose(David) will be taking the URQ under his loving arms. He is a Dentist in Las Vegas, but he lives in Park City.. So Audilard, and you SLC guys, bug him to beat the URQ around.

Dave, Im sure you can get him to bring the car down for Sema for sure.

I'll try to chime in from Brazil when i can...

so keep it real Ya'll 8)

Does this mean I actually have permission to take the car out once in a while?

haha, indeed, im sure you two can work out a trade... :bump:
The problem that we have here is that Hank's dad (that would be me) has posession of the car, the keys and shavedquattro's password. (I may have to join MG as a member some day.) One other thing, stirose is my younger brother and age has it's perks.
By the way Jim, even if you haven't spent the night out in Las
Vegas, the car still rips pretty hard. Your seat of the pants feel good was still working.

Hummmm Let me see....Yes... Ladies and gentlemen hank has left the building....mmm...The country actually. So lets meet in vegas BYOC bring your own cones. Jim, you wanted to see what 30psi was like right? Eldorado dry lake bed is loads of fun to lay out a course on and practice 80+ mph full lock corners etc...

yea, hanks dad has the car and keys but the title and plates are in my name....which reminds me I keep getting these nasty calls home from security at Mandalay Bay. You know anything about that Jim??

Something about a huge parking lot, locked diffs, and going around in circles rings a bell.

Ok...so the gigs up. Left with the car thursday to bring it to its new home and cold air of utah but it decided to against and died in st george...2 hours north. damn hank: he used up all but the last 120 miles. You would think it would have come apart when hank and I were doing 30psi rips down I-15 just to see faces on the kids in the "hot" GTI....Or maybe those circles in the parking lot Jim?? But no, it makes some awful noise coming off the freeway after a nice 2 hour cruise. The autopsy results will follow but my guess at this point is dropped a valve secondary to failed retainer and/or backfire->slipping timing belt etc etc...There were some issues with the timing wheel, if fact that was one of the little loose ends I was going to address when I got it home. Anyway got it started after readjusing the hall sensor but it was blowing fuel into the crankcase and tons of oil out the exhaust along with what sounded like maybe a busted valve rattleing around. Not good. So maybe it is time to find all the 20 valve parts.....

Damn, that really sucks, I hope at least the turbo made it through OK!

Audilard · Post by **Audilard** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 12:05 pm

Ouch, that's not good. So the car is stuck in St. George? Hope you at least played a couple rounds of golf while there.

STIrose · Post by **STIrose** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 12:29 pm

I think the turbo is fine just had some oil blown through it for a short time. Full James bond smoke-screen sort of thing.

The car is back in Vegas. I ended up spending the better part of my weekend driving getting rescued then pulling a flatbed back and forth....The car is still on the trailer. But we'll get it going again, really is a fun car with lots of potential. Really handled well and is not really sorted to speak of. In fact surprised me that it rode better then my STi and given a little time I think it would handle as well or better. Needs quicker steering though. Darin, I looked back through your project page (I have quite a bit of catching up to do): You have time for golf? :-)

Not really, but I go anyways. I spent most of my holiday weekend taking out the huge birm of dirt in my front yard. I've got so many house projects, soccer games, kids to take care of, etc. that the car just looks at me evertime I go out in the garage. I've got to get it running good so I can enjoy it. But, I always find a way to hit the links! :-D

I can relate: wives and kids just don't understand do they? Then again you must have good kids cause I have good kids and I still have no patients left for golf

WHAT!!! You said as long as you got the intake and plumbing I could have the turbo, nobody would say a thing. You dirty rat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derracuda · Post by **Derracuda** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 9:33 am

what! that's a lie, how's that intake gonna do me any good on my v8...... you said i could have the IIc if you go the turbo, and we'd split whatever we could hawk the header for. this totally ruins whatever we had going Darin.......i'll NEVER buy a set of ronal R38 in 17x7.5 with 45mm offset from you AGAIN, it's obviously spoiled our friendship :x

Derracuda · Post by **Derracuda** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 10:01 am
