I apparently last visited on August 15, 2003...
Recently have come in contact with a 66 327/350 4 speed that is owned by a friend of my father. It was restored a few years ago by someone involved with the NCRS.
I was allowed to give it a shake down the other day and I have some questions I hope to post in the C2 forum

Welcome back! That's an awesome C2 - I was about to buy one in 1987 and it slipped by me.

at some point I may buy my own...
I'm already running LS2 coils in my S6

I guess I should go over my builds over the years:
1975 Scirocco - failed restoration. traded for some parts for:
1983 GTI - ruined by my own teenage failings... tried to make it louder and louder and eventually sold it
1988 BMW 325iS - Daily driver and track car. Gained all my wrenching skills with this car - sold
2000 Saab Aero - my first foray into turbocharging, but car was too boring - Sold
2002 WRX Wagon - My first full and total build: http://www.battlewagon.co.nr - Sold to buy a house
1992 GTI - my first motor swap - sold because we were having a kid
1995 Audi S6 - my daddy car

My parents raised me on V8s.
My mother's first car was a 69 GTO 400 4speed and I've been trying to find it for years now.
I stuck with small 4 cylinder cars for a long time because I wanted to be able to drive a slow car fast and get better with driving before I went after big torque. I've been specializing in suspension work primarily. I go through the paces: make it stop, make it turn, make it go.
my current S6 build is at a standstill because I don't have the time to work on it. My goal is a lot of low to mid range torque, but I'm thinking I might just drive it as is until I can find and afford a Pontiac G8 GT or GXP.
