[T3] Squareback update (Invasion related).

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well, thanks to Per for all his dedicated work!  My baby is now sitting
level!!  She needs new bushings since the urethane Sway-A-Way ones are a bit
worn and squeeky-squeeky.  Per said he uses the VW ones and loves 'em.  I
*may* hit Les Schwab and replace the 195/60 rear tires with 65-series for
better highway cruising.

Martin came over and helped with the carbs.  Brian Fye was on the phone as
well, doin' the long-distance assistance :)  No intake leaks but it seems
the idle jets are still too big at 60.  I am gonna have to take off the
exhaust, again!, and use the liquid copper gasket on both sides of the
copper exhaust gaskets to insure there are no exhaust leaks -- sigh.  Still
getting the back-explosion at idle but, sitting in the driveway, no bad
noise at constant rpm or acceleration.  Tonight will be the actual driving
test for back-fire.

So, Per and I are ready car-wise.
