1.8 8V (swapped in by PO) which is, I guess, CIS-lambda (has O2
sensor) with original 4spd tranny.  I have a 5spd in my other car that
I might swap this fall.

And Roger: Me, own a MkII?  absolutely not. :-p

And I just realized Cathy must not be checking email yet this morning
or she surely would have told me to take off my duckbill to decrease
drag.  heh.
