So first is my current CL idle settings that seem to work pretty good right now.

The rest is a 94 1.8 block and a 02 VVT head unknown mileage on both. The guy wants $400 for everything and is across the country but he is about 15 min from one of the equipment yards for work so i can ship for free!!

Is this a good deal worth buying or keep my eyes out longer for a complete VVT engine.

Also while im on a roll with bleeding money. right now i have tein flex coilovers with 7/6kg springs (392/280lbs) was thingking of re springing the front to 12kg 728lbs and moving the 7kg 392 springs to the rear. Its only $130 and think it might keep the front from diving so much in corners, especially with splitter

Replaced the clutch and slave cylinder. Think the fluid was dirty a little bit.

Removed all the pointless junk and put the front splitter back on.


did a mild roll and pull then stuffed some 245/40-15 RS4's on 15x9 Advanti storm s1's

Dropped the block off at a local shop to get machined and rotating assembly balanced, should have it back in about 6 weeks. Is there anyone in the PNW that wants to help assemble the block, never assembled a motor for a car but how hard could it be.

I'm in the PNW (portland) but not sure you want my help. My motor only lasted 4000 miles :(

If we hit 4001 i guess it would be a winner then!
