Hey guys, Just thought I would drop a line in and tell you what was going on with my car. I brought it to the dealer that monday and Michael Hohl said that it was just excess coolant burning off from when they changed out turbos. However, 2 days later the car put out a huge cloud of smoke which was ridiculous again and the CEL is now back on. I'm heading beack down on Fri so they can once again take a look at it. He says I should get rid of the car and I agree, so I am going to be putting the car up for sale for $17,000 as he recomended me to do. I'm probably going to get an old Rs and convert it, possibly into a rally car.

On another note, for those of you who met Liz (my gf). She is looking to get 11 Quarts of Ams-Oil for an oil change for her diesel truck. Does anyone have a hook-up or know where we can get some cheap?

Does it have to be Ams-Oil or would good synthetic like Mobil 1 work? If so, Khail can probably hook up some oil for you.

Bummer about the car man, but good call on the replacement. :D Just don't rally an actual RS. There aren't enough of those to go trashing one so senselessly. ;)

Why convert it into a rally car?

To go rally it?

I wouldn't want to do a whole lot of rally driving in a 2.5 in this area. I wouldn't think that the car would last very long. But battle damage is cool!

If you put enough beef in the suspension it will last for a while. :D

You should see the long-travel setup my neighbors are building into their off-road truck... it makes this picture look like a Yugo.
