Default It does more things better than any other single vehicle, and does everything I need, the way I want

Except the shocks. I still need to figure out how to get those fvgging soft squishy shocks a little firmer.

Mark was going to try, but it seems the plumbing is a real problem. I'm not giving up yet though...

How do you like the F-car? Looks like fun. A friend has a Gallardo and an F430 cab - what a hoot that thing is. Love the sound of those Ferrari motors, more than any other car. I must have one some day...

I look forward to hearing your take on the RS4 cab. I'm just slightly shy of biting on that one. I'm actually still contemplating a boxster S (great dynamics, but seems 'girly') or something else.

I've got a Jeep wrangler with the doors and top removed that I'm enjoying for now. Also thinking about getting a new one converted by AEV with a 6.1L Hemi. Kinda fun. But I really want something nimble - I can haul the surfboards on the allroad...

What brand rods/pistons if I may ask? Stock valves?

I forget the brand, and yes, stock valves. I'll post full details at some point later...

I should have said 'about the cost of a new allroad' - for all the mods.

Default Read the list: Custom Forged Pistons and Rods, Rings, FMIC? Auxiliary Fueling? Stock on what Audi?

Other factory parts like the RS4 manifold, 2.8 (larger) heads, etc were ported, polished, straightened, 3 angle valve job, so on and so forth. 'Full custom' versions of those parts would not accomplish much more than what was done, either.

You didn't read much of the list, did you?
