Hey all,
I'm in the middle of an awesome roadtrip to northern CA, OR, and WA (maybe
into ID and MT also), and hoping to meet some of the listmembers along the
way. I left Maryland a week ago, now in Reno NV visiting friends, then to
Gilroy CA and north to OR. If anyone wants to talk Syncros / Vanagons or
engine swaps while I'm in the area, I'd love to meet, get a beer, or hit the
mountain for some skiing or boarding! I'll be in the NW for a few weeks,
likely until mid-December. My 1.9 TD conversion is doing great, quite the
powerhouse with the latest mods, but I'm thinking I need just a wee bit more
power when fully loaded like the van is on this trip, so maybe a 2.5 TDI
5-cylinder project may be in the works soon? The high desert just saps a
little too much power, even with 15 psi boost....maybe I'll tap into the
propane tank for a little extra as needed?
Give me a shout if you're in the areas mentioned!
