Actually, I have two - the OP is welcome to one for a small gratuity. They are both from an 2.0 turbo, what do you figure a working used fuel pump is worth these days in the mother country? > > >> But - the radio is great, that dash blackout is very nice on long runs >> and I had forgotten how much I like a 5 speed. voo-voo-voom! > > Glad you're enjoying the NG900 - I will watch your relationship with > that car with much interest. Well, as I don't 'love this car' - it was pointed out that it will probably last forever.. :/ .. The seats are no where near as comfortable as the 89 9000 and it is considerably more crowded in the passenger compartment. On the other hand, it's not leaking water into the cabin or leaving any stains under the block. An ABS ring is missing from the drivers side axle and it'll need a ball joint (which means a whole lower forward control arm in this model) come spring. On the whole - an average driver for not much money. But, an average driver for not much money - which isn't bad I guess. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Louis Prima - Buona Sera http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/161.RAM
