Good morning. The discussion/help that you're offering on a potential 1.7 L refresh has me wondering about doing that as a second tech day for the SoCal mafia.
Different sort of thing in all likelihood then what the good Doctor helped us with, but my guess is that there are a bunch of us that have engines hanging around that could either benefit from this or could be put back into use. Would this be useful for a good number of our members here? If we had a good set of prerequisites do you think we could knock this out in a day? I'm thinking that if we got well organized maybe we could do a group buy sort of thing with one machine shop to do the work. What do you think? |

OK - so I am going to say we have adequate interest, so it is really more about;
1) logistics 2) skill Logistics = everyone having things ready so we can be at the same stage and press forward together Skill = making sure we press forward together in the right direction so we don't all create boat anchors and have to listen to Mr Epstein remind us he said to put in a 3.2l in the first place. I think we can work the logistics, I am more worried about skill. The suggestion we find a machine shop, or EMW to help guide this is an excellent one I think. |
