Hey guys its been a while since I've been on here. I moved back to NY and started my new job a month ago and things are going great. I really miss the club though and my car misses the warm weather!

I'm really sorry to hear about your brother dre. You and your family are in my prayers. Like you said he is in a better place now.

I hope everybody else is doing good. Maybe this summer ill drive down for a meet

Didn't know Greensboro had a CandC. Whoever owns that FB page should add it to the national
CandC forum so others can know without the FB tax being levied. Its at this URL:

http://forum.carsandcoffee.info/forum.php

A lot of folks don't use FB, so its another good way to get the word out.

Ya it's a common issue with the 2nd gens. The fuel pulsation dampener starts leaking and it tends to drip right onto the exhaust. Both FC's I've owned leaked right onto the exhaust and it was pretty much a miracle the gas didn't ignite.

....if you ever look behind the passenger seat of my fc you'll always see a fire extinguisher now lol...

Here's an 84 FL250 that I restored a few years ago. The FL350 Odysseys and FL400 Pilots are the real sought after ones.

As far as the turbo goes....honestly not sure...ebay add said to4s..which is bs. i think its a schwitzer s200 compressor housing (no markings) think its a to4b. has a plate with Mic turbos out of Florida so i guess they built it...would be nice if it were a to4s like the add said. came with a fd manifold someone messed up and a turbonetics wastegate. should flow better than my bnr i hope

Manny. You need to get up with Josh about the S4 injector resistor pack. The only other thing that worries me is the mass air flow meter. I don't know if it would be okay to run a NA MAF with a turbo setup.

I know they are different. Different part numbers. Are they interchangable without any adverse side affects? I do not know.

I did unintentionally on mine for awhile, car didn't idle right until I got the proper one but the car did run decent. I wouldn't advise it though.
