All of us here at Devil HQ are pretty damn excited that the album release and tour are so close! Jen and I have started doing interviews and press already. Cheers to Drew and the C4 crew for their hospitality and for getting us straight on telly. Looks like the street team is cracking all around the country.
We really appreciate your support. Nail has been hard at work on the bus for the tour its looking suitably be-Devilled! The merch is getting printed and tomorrow we get to see the album in the flesh when the cds turn up!
I will start off by introducing myself. My name is Dave, and I live in York PA. I have owned this car for almost 4 years now(I think) and it has been on heck of a ride. This first post will be quite long, just a warning. This is how it looked when i got it. It had a few issues, but ran and drove. The biggest problem it had was the 3rd gear syncro was shot, to I had to sync shift it, no big dreal right?

That was unil the pieces of brass decided to all get together in between the gears, and punch out the front of the trans housing. So I found another trans that had recently been rebuilt with new bearings, seals, and syncros. But I am getting ahead of myself.
I first found this. An '86 5KTQ avant. A tree limb had fallen on the old girl, and PO was using it as storage. So I got it from him pretty cheap, drove it onto the trailer, and started the break down. Here is the reason I grabbed it.
Cod5 private server patch 17 download. MC1 10VT engine! Not in too bad of shape, but in desperate need of attention It had the normal worn parts, like cracked manifold Cracks between the valves But the bores looked good I cleaned and welded the manifold I also got a head from a 2.2L JT engine, so that I would have the vacuum pump option, as well as they do not crack like the turbo head. This head got a nice port and polish,.5mm larger stainless exhaust valves, high rate springs, titanium retainers, 3 angle valve job, and a good flattening. Then I machined the flywheel snagged a spec stage3 Complete reseal and ARP studs And to button up the bottom, the AAN windage tray(sorry no pic), and 7a aluminum oil pan Then almost 18 months later it went in! A little more put together A shot of the K24 turbo in there.
UrQ downpipe all wrapped up, and ready to go in Ground the intake manifold to it with the 10mm phenolic spacer. Intercooler figured out! And I was even able to get the factory fog lights to fit by welding on some VERY short cast 90 elbows to the intercooler Final open front end pic.
That BOV is crazy loud, it scares people on the sidewalks! Then finally all together and looking like a car again. Some time earlier, the decision had been made to go EFI, to a good friend of mine built my MS2 V3.0 Of course I had to find a tons of other little thing to go with it, but I will not bore you guys with all that. Oh, and some time in there it got a brake upgrade. G60 caliper, 276mm rotors, braided lines, and quality pads. Some time later, with lots of help from a couple people both near and far this happened! Then it was a mad rush to get it on the street, so that I could make it to the Carlisle car show last year.
I had been there for the previous 2 years, but never in my 80, as the trans blew right before the first year I was to go. It made it, but was running PIG rich, and a number of other things weren't quite right. This is where I will leave it for now. There is plenty more to go on with, but this should be more than long enough for most people. I will update more later. Thanks for reading.
I forgot to mention, in the pic from the car show, the car is sitting on B&G S2 springs, so that brought the height down a little over an inch from the factory sport springs. Now lets move on after the show.
Well right after it anyway. On the way home from the Carlisle event, I followed a friend onto the turn Pike. I should have had no problem keeping up with his EFI converted MK2 Jetta, so I pushed on the throttle a little harder and longer than I had before, and BANG! I had no clue what had happened, but it shure scared me pretty good. We pulled over on the side of the road, and popped the hood, to find that one of my couplers had blown off the pipe.
I was only hitting 12psi then so needless to say, I wasnt expecting that. I made up a crimp tool, and went to town crimping the ends of all the pipes so this doesn't happen again I then finally purchased the items needed to attach an air filter to the turbo, as I was running with 4 layers of window screen over the inlet of the turbo so I could get to and from the show with nothing jumping in there Soon after that, I decided that I wanted to be able to tune my suspension, and came across a person selling a premade DIY coil over setup, the only problem was they came with 6' springs in the 700lbs and 800lbs variety. They were too short, and WAY too stiff. I sold those off, and picked up some 7' 350's for the front and some 8' 375's for the rear. Those should be much nicer to drive on with the Koni inserts.
