Is he going to weld and remachine the damaged cam journals?

Mine is running on a relatively crude tune. Collecting parts to install in the coming months before breaking it at the track again I've got an STM designed fuel line set-up to install so the tune won't get any more refined in the mean time

Mine is in the process of a build. You are currently assembling a 5-speed for me Steve talked me into getting the 300m OS while its still in pieces.


Hopefully in the next month I will ship you my heads for the head lift fix and send you my t-case along with the broomfield housing so you can slap them together also.

A buddy of mine(the guy that came with me to pick up the car) bought a 3.1 pampena block and a pair of ported heads for his dr750 project so he is giving me the head off his old engine to send to Ray and then I'm just going to swap it once it gets back to me.

^ He is talking about me.

Good to see you post Ray

The 93 GTO TT in the Netherlands with your 3.1l engine in it, is pretty much back together, couldnt start it up due to missing o2 sensor. I mailed that today to my Nephew. Needs Apexi SAFC II instaed, needs aem wideband installed, needs HKS Boost controller installed and then the 550cc injectors need to go back in.

The 96 VR4 needs to be dialed in. Dash replaced and some gauges fixed,

The spyder is fine

the 95 NA needs a brake job but im to lazy todo it.

I'm still trying to finish the upgrade to the 3.5 TT and AWD conversion. A lot if work and no time with a 6 day/week regular job. Plus we have a baby due any day now. Maybe I can use some of the time off when he comes to work on the car... Also tempted to just put the VR4 back together and drive it around while the Spyder is down for upgrades. If guess a couple weekends and I'd be driving her again. Just lost interest in it since I had the Spyder. The parts I've pulled off we're pretty minor.


Contemplating the bell housing brace but I'm having trouble finding someone local I trust. I need to check how much it would be to ship it to you. I have a mint 99 AWD trans and I'm nervious about opening it up. I have no idea what's involved.

Btw Ray, not sure if you remember me but I really enjoyed meeting you at NG. You have an amazing car and I appreciated the advice on the head gasket and a few other small things.

Hey Mike, we still need to get together sometime. Seems like we both have busy schedules lol.
