The more stuff you swap out or take off the less there is to warranty on their side.

With the turbo boost restricted to a mild 12 psi, the rollers on the dyno spun to a reported 640 hp. According to Acosta Jr., it didn't take long before Acosta Sr. had the 3 rotors humming along to the tune of 950 hp on VP C16 race fuel and at 28 lbs of boost.

Hey!
If you go to the "Meet theTuners" page and click on the "show off your ride page", you will go to a new gallery.
Under the MX-3 group is my old car!! I never saw that before!

Here is the direct link:

Thank you kind sir - it has been bugging me for quite some time, but patience is a virtue at my age. Long live the 20B, (but not at that pressure)

Would have been glad to, had you been around to inquire.
The guy who did buy it (in Calgary, Canada) is an endless source of questions.
He is nice enough, but if he wants to turn on the wipers, he e-mails me first.
He has had the thing for two years and he is still skiddish.

There are better pics on my site.

Damn, cars are meant to be driven - we only live once, but offspring could benefit from our madness I guess.



My daughter wants my 8...
