Re: new to the list!

["Alex Ting" <alex@millenniumsolutions.net>]

Hey Nigel,
thanks for the welcome.
Couple of questions though....
how hard was your friends conversion?
(specifically the motronic part of the swap)
did he do it himself, or have it done?
has he ever dynoed the car?

I am seriously considering this swap, so any info
and input from someone who has done this would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.....

	After disassembling more than I care to think about while looking for the
source of the perma-heat coming from the two center vents, I just keep em
closed =] I like to have the windows open, anyway..
