Nice to see another Carb fan. How does yours run now with the carb? Mine went from smooth accelaration to a more aggressive one, it's harder to modulate. I also get a little bit of grey smoke out the pipe, I try to lean out the mixture but the car runs better with the richer setting and the smoke, oh well. But I also have a shit load more midrange power, it now can spin the tires from a rolling stop, I used to have to step on the gas and then dump the clutch, and I have 17s on it. The only thing with the carb is that you have to readjust it in the winter and then again in the summer cuz I dont run a thermostat in the cooling system so my car runs a lot cooler in the winter and the engine needs a richer mix. Hey, I like the Audi 4000 wheels, my jetta came with those exact same rims when I got it. See Ya!
