Gen5 Darkside



Firehawk lost all gears (A4) so I got this. Not sure if it's the pump or I sheared the flywheel to torque converter bolts (can that happen?). It'll be for sale soon.

It would have been cheaper to do a 80 swap !

But that's a great looking car what are the specs on it ?

Son turned 17 and is knee deep in lifted trucks and jeeps. He has a lifted '95 Dodge 4x4.

Pay it off.. Not many right now. Wasn't really looking for one, but... Seems like a catch can is something cheap, easy and on the top of many lists. It already has the intake and exhaust taken care of.

What's done to yours? Suggestions/recommendations/resources? Camaro5 seems to be pretty active.

i just finished having mine tuned tonight. Man what a difference. My rotofab intake will be here monday, and my stainless works headers thursday or friday. What exhaust is on it? first thing i did to mine was exhaust with the 1LE diffuser and quad tips, then I lowered it.
