I had to fit a new alternator since the old one had died on me: I replaced the non-original alternator with a bosch 90A alternator OEM VW/AUDI. It got up to 13.9volts now, the regulator limits it to 14V.
I went with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my 2008 EOS LUX, replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagles. While no snow (yet), I'm very happy with them. The car handling is significantly better and, very importantly, the squeal when accelerating is gone.
I have had both sets on cars I have owned. the kh16 is more of a highway tire, it grips good in all weather conditions. The LX platinum is good in all conditions accept snow, it gets ok traction because of the softer rubber used. It grips better than any tire I have had for the price of them in dry conditions
My original Pirelli's were loud after 10K miles. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The Yoko's are very quiet with exceptional handling characteristics.
So I figured out why the headlamps were not aiming at the same level.. it's cuz the auto body shop replaced my left headlight with a new one without adjusting it. So I manually adjusted the light using the adjusting screws to match the right side.
i did hawk race ceramics and powerslot pros from tirerack.com all i have to say is amazing! no fade or anything!
i've got the yellow top, installed from the previous owner. it doesn't fit my battery cover too well, but boy does the yellowtop have plenty of CCAs, my start is much stronger than my friend's .:R32 (battery from dealer).
It's a 1835 with 042 heads, balanced crank and 110 cam. I have intakes for dual Webers (no carbs yet) and a 010 for it.
The pump looks to be too beat up to keep. Even though I could maybe drimmel the bad spots down, I'm just going to get a fresh pump.
I was getting a strong smell of fuel in the car and around it when my w8 had more than 3/4 tank of fuel... the dealer took 2 weeks to sort out the issue and came back and told me the tank was cracked and I needed to replace it.
