No hard feelings, that was honestly just a question to make sure you were the same guy... your name changing is hard to keep track of..


And nic, what ever happened with the holset you had? wouldnt still have it laying around looking for a home on a 2.3t taht just happened to be handed to you???
Did you talk to Mo about the LA3? I remember I asked him and he said he wasnt too fond of the performance gains, I have a big vam on the small vam cpu and I honestly felt a difference with out driveability issues.


Not stock, I see how you can say the parts are hard to find, but please if you ever find a rare car, dont butcher it, you can always find parts from wrecked cars if you look, rather than destroying another car to just make a buck. I bet he could make a hell of alot mroe just selling as is than the trouble of cutting it up and dealing with ebay people bidding and then shipping it all out.

Nic, I know where 5 are in one junkyard if you do ever need parts, its my own secret stash, the owner of it is a friends neighbor and I talked to him about them and he has always been very "leniant" with the prices of parts...



And to add I had a bright array of sunshine about 10 minutes ago, I finally got a guy in maryland to respond to email's and he has a merkur for me up there, he wants some moeny if I want a title but no money if I just want it as parts. So does anyone know what do about if I want to just go get it, and then come down ehre and apply for a "lost title" or whatever?

I ended up selling the Holset to a guy in Hawaii for $600. I think it was Mo that told me to get the LA3 ???

Come on up to Richmond, we'll have a Ford's red headed step child party

If one of yall want to come get this body when I'm done with it, haul it off and it's yours, I just need the parts for the conversion and I'm taking the wheels because I kind of like them in all their ugliness. I have a title Kevin has first dibs though.

Also, if any of yall know of a 4 cyl/5 speed fox body for sale for a cheap price, let me know. I don't really want to go through all the trouble of doing a 5 speed swap on this hatchback I've got.

I travel to Maryland often. Let me know if you need some transportation help as I have a large dual axle car trailer (with waiting list) if you need to borrow it.

Speaking of...I'm done with it, just waiting to see if Daniel's going to come over here to pick it up or not. If not, I can have it back at your place whenever.

Get the car, put it in your yard. Go to DMV and report it abandoned and tell them that you want a title. I think it's like a 60 day wait, after 60 days they list it as claimed property that was abandoned, and title it to you.
