I agree Brent, a TIICO oriented list is long overdue if one does not
already exist. That does not mean that I think TIICO related posts
should be formally banned from the Vanagon or Syncro lists. Engine
conversions are a growing segment of the Vanagon population. I notice a
lot of people who are at the point of wanting to extend their ownership
of these special vehicles but who face doubts about their long term
reliability prospects. Posts that help inform us about conversion
ownership are desirable IMO. Discussion of minutia related only to a
specific conversion might be better relegated to a specialty list.

Perhaps a TIICO list could be broadened to cover all gasoline inline 4
VW based engine conversions. I would join it for sure though I have
never owned such a conversion.
