    Any octane booster users here?

    Maybe after 5>10 tank fulls... People don't seem to understand HiOctane fuels don't burn hotter or provide more power, they actually hurt performance if used in a low comp motor or a motor that doesn't require them due to their slow burn. Crank some timing in or raise the comp/boost and...

    What year was the first widebody MA70?

    All Australian delivery Mk3's are widebody. Mine's an 86.5 and is wide. As Grim said the narrow body cars are GA70's with the dinky motor.

    custom oil pan

    Jimi: Thanks! Nash: Are you going to add a ring around the pickup at the bottom of the pan to keep oil around it? (It welds to the floor with 4 small cutouts at the diagonal points) Otherwise you've just added more area for the oil to escape the pickup. (this is bad)
