Oh no wait 49 state legal I always forget that (need me a HFC downpipe though shhh). They work great on a turbo car. Turbos love less restriction downstream. No need to worry about backpressure like a N.A. engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 With you on that one. I have a tuned turbo car currently that is choking on itself past upper 4k RPM. It NEEDS a bigger less restrictive downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The GTI I had was nicknamed the tire shredder and has every bolt on possible, swapped turbo and tuned for high boost on crappy 91 octane available here. Damn was that a fun car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn was that a fun car. My first new car was an 86 jetta gli. Loved it, but had to sell it a couple of years later to qualify for my first mortgage. Poor man's bimmer it was. Now I just pay cash for used bimmers. And the occasional Alfa Romeo. Oh man, when the new Giulia Quads get cheap.....drool. I'm ready. I sold my 91 164 modified to a friend in need, so the gap needs filling. ALFA=Always Looking For Another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Haha. I can imagine that was a fun car. Who said 10 cylinder stick BMW M5? The smile one of those or an older m3 will put on your face? Priceless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Actually got this yesterday for use at the duplex I rent to my two sons. It’s on a corner lot next to a middle school (used to be Royal Oak Dondero HS, alma mater of Glenn Frey, note street sign) so there is a legal, as well as moral, responsibility to keep the long sidewalk free of snow. This should do the trick. It was advertised at $200 on Craigslist, which was approximately half what most listings were asking for similar machines. I spoke with a young man (20s) who asked me if I was OK with the price as he’d had several offers for $200. I said I wasn’t surprised, especially since $200 was the advertised price. He replied, “It is?” Apparently, he thought it was offered at a higher price. I asked him what was meant by, “Electric Start Convertible.” He asked how I knew about that. I explained it’s visible in the ad. Long story, less long, I took a van and $200 and brought it home. It starts right up, whether by pull or plug-in electric starter. The auger is shiny red and new looking. This seems to be a much better bargain than the others listed. I bet Carl @CECAA850, Chuck @Tarheel or Elden @dtel doesn’t have one this big.😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
