Well for the summer, I only live a few hundred miles from Knoxville. I wouldn't mind dropping by if I ever got a chance to with work and all. You said you had a turbo on your old 1200 didn't you? I was actually thinking about doing some really cool stuff to my A15 in about a year. I'm really thinking about going with a multi point fuel injection setup from TWM Induction, along with a little turbo. It'll be pricey, but fun! I will at least be able to afford it then. I figure with all the money I've saved by having my 1200, it will have earned to have a couple thousand dollars sunk into it. I figured the FI setup will cost about $2500, and the turbo will cost a little, but I actually have an old Subaru Turbo I could use, then it would just be a matter of setting it all up. The fuel injection works off of a Dual DCOE intake with 4 separate intake runners. They sell 40-55 mm throttle bodies that go in place of the carbs, then you buy the injectors, TPS, computer, and other sensors. Then I never have to worry about setting mixtures, balancing carbs, too lean/too rich mixture. Hooking up a turbo would be a breeze! After I do that I have to start saving up for the new Z that's coming out. Hopefully the new Z will be my first new car after it comes out. So far I've heard it's going to be an awesome car! They're looking at something between a VQ30-VQ35 V-6 with at least like 230 hp, and aiming for a 2500lb curb weight. Sounds too cool! -Andy
