All, Not 16v related, but VW related: Someone wants to trade me an '86 8v GTI from north carolina for my Audi 5ktq. It seems like a fantastic deal. It's been converted to an Audi 3A 2.0l and has a 9A transmission. Koni adjustables with neuspeed race springs, euro lights, euro GTI oil cooler, TT adjustable cam sprocket, autotech power module, stress bars, etc. It'd be a killer short commuter/track toy once I took care of some of the little things wrong with it (windshield crack, rough idle). Car looks clean as hell, although the paint is _WAAAAAY_ rice-y. I'd be tempted to just spraypaint it white and have a total sleeper. Anything weird to look out for on a 3A conversion? The 3A bolts right up, right? Like I said, the car idles a bit rough when cold...any likely culprits? Will this car fit into any autocross classes conveniently? Street touring? Here's the other thing: It's a fairly recent purchase, and the guy does not have his title back from the state (North Carolina) until next week. However, he's driving up to chicago THIS weekend, and it'd be an really, really convenient time to swap cars (I'm in michigan). Having been screwed over a time or two, I'd like advice on what the safest way to do this would be (Other than waiting until he has a title and driving 14 hours down to Raleigh).
