    Want to pass emissions with 83's :)

    I'm a Maryland Emissions Inspector. The size of the injectors isn't the issue. The cam doesn't help. Turn down your fuel pressure some, use the fresh cat, and I bet you will pass. Here's a tip. Try to get them to downgrade you to the idle test from the IM 240 (dyno test). This doesn't measure...

    Top speed

    Don, No offense, but do you know how much HP would be necessary to overcome the wind resistance at 170+ MPH? A lot, thats for sure. Not to mention that the car would fly like a frisbee at that speed. Probably not straight either :)

    Motor Oil Poll

    Yep, same here. 10-30 most of the year, 5-30 in the winter. Coming up on 130,000 and hardly uses any oil. Why mess with success? I do use Mobil1 in the newer cars though.

    Wow, 20-50 and 10-40 in the winter? I've used 10-30 and 5-30 in the winter and had no problems in 15+ years. Is anybody else using oil that thick on a regular basis? Just curious.

    Which Rotors?

    I've used the Brute Stop pads for a couple of years, and love em. They make a fair amout of dust, but worth it for the good stopping power.They also have a lifetime guarantee, so when you wear em out, take em in for another set, free. I haven't used their rotors, but I've had good luck with the...

    Good traction - possible w/ 17" street tires?

    Not really. I run Nitto's, and they seem to work best around 19-20 lbs. I don't know about the BFG's, never tried em.

    Audi TT

    They come 2 and 4 wheel drive, 180 or 230+HP. I looked at them, but 35-40K was too outraegous.
