<html><DIV>Hello Gang:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>It's been a while since I posted anything, but have a few questions.&nbsp; First, are there any people on the list that have lowered their Vanagons significantly, and if so, has it posed any significant handling problems or has it improved the handling of the vehicle?&nbsp;Was this done with off the shelf springs/shocks or what?&nbsp;Could the vehicle handle oversized tires, i.e. low profile tires, with a lowered stance?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Secondly, I have read with great interest the transplant engines from South Africa I believe that are imported through Tiico. How many people on the list have done this transplant and how has this worked out so far? Has anybody transplanted a VR6, and if so, was it with great difficulty? My preference would be the VR6, but not if it's such a hassle that I'm going to rediscover expletives that have long left my vocabulary. Any input or opinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!</DIV>
