    No spark!

    Hi all, Been a while since I've posted. It's been a busy summer. Now, I'm not getting any spark in my S3. It just cranks and cranks. I was wondering if any of you have the Crane cams XR700 electronic ignition. It was put in by a PO. The light on it no longer comes on. I did reverse...

    Differential leak?

    I noticed today that the differential was dark and moist on a large area. Are leaks common, and if so, where? Also, what are the preferred fluids for the rear end, and transmission?

    Flooding?!

    Hello all, I know I'm probably using up more than my share of bandwidth here, but I hope this will be a quick one. I'm getting real close to my maiden voyage. My car was not so far gone when I got it, so I decided to get it going quickly (1 year) and enjoy it a bit before I really tear into...

    Another Brake question:

    For those who helped me with my brake questions a few months ago, I am back at it. I re-threaded my Wilwood Master Cylinder .700 (I got excited, and cross-threaded it). I put it on today, it fit like a glove. Here's where I need some help: I know the line is tight, it doesn't leak. I flared...

    Maiden Voyage! (down the driveway)

    Well, I drove my S3, for the first time ever, even if it was down a gravel driveway. There were no brakes, and I thought it smart to stay off the roads. It was definitely a kodak moment. I have so many questions, but for now, I'll keep it to the most important. A previous owner, changed to a...
