@550 Phil posted:Stan if I really thought I could take those Dellortos and build an engine with half the reliability of my current suby car I'd do it. My Spyder is 150 miles from my primary house. Sometimes I don't drive the car for months at a time. All I do is keep the battery on a trickle charger. Without fail, I turn the key, hit the starter button and the Suby fires up. You and Danny...and many others are mechanics. I am not. You and Danny would never be happy with a Subaru. Its too easy. There is no challenge. You guys are artists. Me I just want to drive. That's why a water cooled 911 with an ECU and EFI really appeals to me. A clown car with a real Porsche powerplant with 300hp. All I can say is SWEET!
While I am somewhat mechanically inclined, I’m far from being a “mechanic.” Likewise, my Spyder sits for months at a time. My CB T1 motor has never let me down. My only problem ever has been running out of gas. (Faulty fuel gauge I’m too lazy to fix. A 2.5 gal can is my “reserve.”)
