this one with the cat just pulls like a bear till it hits the rev limiter.
sounds like my lil pickup... with the way its geared i can putter around at 25 in 4th just letting it idle lol.. sad thing is 4th is final drive too lol...

g'morning all!

supposed to be sunny & 72° here today!!! sweetness!! I have a few projects that need doing while it's warm out, and might even take the intake off my TDI to clean out the soot/gunk that I'm sure has built up over the past 30,000 miles. OOOOhhhh goody... I'll be leaving the electrical gremlins for another day..

How's everyone doing today?
