Last night I went out to try out my new timing light.  I tested it on the
Double Cab with the 1.6L Audi Fox / VW Rabbit Engine.  While I was doing
this I decided to move the engine to TDC to see how things looked... much
to my surprise the cam was one tooth off (retard 8deg).  So I moved the cam
to the correct position.  Before the thought the 1.6L was a totally useless
engine, now I change my mind - there is sufficient power there!  My former
top speed was 110km/h and now 125 is possible without really working at it.
 Seems gas mileage is up too... So, now I wonder what the 2.0L will do ;)
