Let's see a redo of the vid then.  I can just see it now,  Black smoke belching out the top with turbo whine for effect.

Smoke problem is fixed. With some awesome help, I swapped in an AAZ on Saturday. Quite a big difference in power between the 1.5n/a and the 1.9TD.

Oh yeah, that's what happened to Boris's old golf.
Here in the PNW we would have about 60 inches of water down that pipe.

Get a map. I am in the PNW, or as we call it, the Southern West Coast.

Sorry, I am pretty good with maps and geography.  Just really bad at scrolling down to see others locations or looking left to the bar before I hit reply.

Yeah, BC B purtty wet too.

I've now dropped it a bit. It's looking good in the sunshine.

Looks good not dropped too much. Which method did you use to drop the back? Did you go 2" or 3" ? Coilovers for the front?

Yeah, I'll be at the cruise.

I dropped the back with drop plates. Because I can't measure, my 2.5" plates drop it 3.5". The front is on 60mm springs and stock struts.
