Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

I got a line on a 86 Wolfsburg... if the price is right...I don't know about the CIS systems... Thinking about totaling the 90, and gutting the 86 and inserting my Digifart into it....

It is located in Stockbridge if yall know of any history about it I would be ever so grateful

What you guys got against CIS. It's simple and works. My'87 is still on the one it was delivered with.

On another note,

I have a line on a '90 that has been in a front end collision.

Depending on several factors (the big one being that the car is in Toronto) I think it will make a great project fo me.

The pictures that I have seen so far show damage to the hood and rad support. The front bumper seems intact. I assume the rad is probably dammaged too.

It looks as if it was driven into the back of a large truck.

I find it funny that the person that brought this to my attention stated that the car could be cured of Digifart by replacing it with CIS or go for a nice carerated setup. :?

guess it all depends on what side of the coin your better at.

I have great luck with CIS-E, not so much with CIS. Digi1 I'm not too sure, didn't have the car long enough for it to have any problems.

Sorry CIS lovers, just as soon as I can afford to fly one of you gurus out here for a Georgia vacation, I may not have to say that.

Until then, I'll stand by my "CIS is evil" stance, because we just do not get it :evil:

ahhhh someday my Crabby Cabby will run....someday :roll:
