burn, baby burn (oil, that is)

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

Well, after untold hours of this, that and the other thing, intermingled
with a myriad of distractions, the now intercooled Scirocco TD (soon to be 
rebadged as a Scirocco GTD) finally hit the pavement for a test drive this long
weekend.

Things to do include installing the pyrometer (probe and gauge) and 
sorting out what happened to the lead wire for the rad fan (I changed out 
the relay plate because the old one had a bit of water damage at the 
glow/fp relay location - looks like the new one has a dead circuit on the 
fan fuse.)  I also have to install some new speakers and possibly swap 
over the MP3 head unit from the winter beater before Cincy.

Overall I'm impressed - the intercooler has cut down on pretty much all 
exhaust smoke - which means once I get the pyro installed I'll be in good 
shape to start turning up the fuel - and the new downpipe and 2.5" exhaust 
have really made a difference in how that little 1.6 breathes.

She may look like proper hell (especially if I don't get a chance to touch 
up some of the really ugly spots) but Carrots should smoke her way to 
Cincy for the third year in a row.

Is it time to start packing yet???
