Picked up an MS3 last week, just to add to the fun factor of the car. It's still in upgrade mode right now, but I'm hoping to get it running by the middle if this month. Plenty left to do, but the list is shrinking.

The new heads make great power! I fixed a small fuel leak on the feed side of the fuel pump, so hopef...

Small update: Seized the motor in front of the house, it was sitting in my driveway idling away nice and easy. Then started making a ticking noise, I shut it right down, I thought it was my trigger wheel rubbing on a loose piece of cooling tin. I pulled out the tin and then went to start it back up....

Its a Scat, probably 18 years old, but brand new. No it is not wedgemated.
