So first is my current CL idle settings that seem to work pretty good right now.
The rest is a 94 1.8 block and a 02 VVT head unknown mileage on both. The guy wants $400 for everything and is across the country but he is about 15 min from one of the equipment yards for work so i can ship for free!!
Is this a good deal worth buying or keep my eyes out longer for a complete VVT engine.

Also while im on a roll with bleeding money. right now i have tein flex coilovers with 7/6kg springs (392/280lbs) was thingking of re springing the front to 12kg 728lbs and moving the 7kg 392 springs to the rear. Its only $130 and think it might keep the front from diving so much in corners, especially with splitter

The girlfriend refers to those as family days lol and on top of the schedule is our 18 month daughter who runs everywhere now. I'll try to get down there one Sunday for an event though!

Replaced the clutch and slave cylinder. Think the fluid was dirty a little bit.
Removed all the pointless junk and put the front splitter back on.
did a mild roll and pull then stuffed some 245/40-15 RS4's on 15x9 Advanti storm s1's

Dropped the block off at a local shop to get machined and rotating assembly balanced, should have it back in about 6 weeks. Is there anyone in the PNW that wants to help assemble the block, never assembled a motor for a car but how hard could it be.
