Re: Smoking

Thats what i mean - overun = off the throttle while in gear with the clutch 
out - makes a great popping/banging sound on mine with clouds of smoke 
recently - James Bond eat your heart out ;-)

OK - Is it wise at this time if so inclined to port/polish the head and put 
in a wilder cam? Any other xtras that can be done at this time?

Only quite well - did you half go through the windscreen then?

Cheers - Yum - Have toast/pancakes/waffles ready for maple syrup action ;-)

OK - No problem - Jetta is not quite their yet either
Painted and rebuilt but no engine in at the mo!
