• I have seen it, now what is the suggestion?   update time, I have ordered a powdercoat system "vwdiesel members get a discount "  I will be powdercoating everything, as well as checking on the ststus of the head I had sent out to be repaired "out of sheer curiosity"  I will also send out the crank to castillo's to be lightened, and start ordering all of the particulars.  Once the 80' rabbit is together and sold, then I will start getting all of the go fast parts.  I am also going to be sending out my injectors and pumps to giles this week sometime, by the by, has anyon eheard from him in a while?  I tried e-mailing but no cigar???

  Best bet is to call him - he usually does respond to email, eventually.  He's much more of a "let's talk" type of person though from what I gather.  Guess he's too busy in his shop working on things to be sitting in front of the computer!

• I talked to him Tues.? this week. He was just starting on my pump that i sent about 2 weeks earlier. So you can judge off that.

• i drilled the "steam holes" in my 1.6/1.9
  it really speeds up the time it takes to get coolant in the whole thing and purged of all bubbles.

• Was away for a few days doing some pre-deployment training for afghan, and thought that I would share.

• Ok, been a while since I posted here, but I have some time to work on things a bit, but come to find out my Machinist has a brain tumor and will no longer be able to provide his services, as well as not doing any of the Machine work that I sent him to do anyways.  I now have a tranny for the project, and will now need the aid of a driveline shop to build the custom driveline for the spyder.  In the meantime I am finishing the build on the 1.5 and now need to send the head off to be rebuilt, and might as well have it sent to the guy in ohio as well as the aaz heads and a certain gti head that I have to get ported out and rebuilt.
