Well, I gotta say. Those 5000 turbos are quick. I've been driving my brother's for the last few days and despite being an automatic and having an excessive water leak, its very fast. Found myself cruising at 90 miles an hour just passing someone cause my foot slipped a little too far. If it were a quattro I'd be trading him right now and stick him with the 2.3 n/a. It just never feels like its working. Havn't been able to even get it to rev past 4000 because its an auto. Isn't the peak hp at 5200 or so?

Oh well. thats all I had to say. Time to get cracking on that water leak (bad hoses) and brake problem. they seem to work great but that warning light keeps going off. I thought the '84 didn't have abs? Is it just trying to tell me my pads are worn (they arn't) or the reservoir is low (it isn't)? Or perhaps some bad wiring or fuse somewhere. I hate wiring.
