First I'd like to thank you all for your response.....What a great thing you
all have here !

I am leaning in the direction of the 1.9 to 2.1 deal from A V P in Sacramento
and am wondering if anyone has had specific experience with that motor or
them. I was indeed also thinking about the Subaru or Audi conversion and
called Detlev, everything sounded good , but then I asked how many had he
done already and his answer was "Five" , I don't know about anyone else but I
wouldn't feel great about buying a NEW CAR that had only made five of
'em.................That does make sense , dosen't it?

And as far as the waterboxer being junk.....mine went 250,000 miles , how
junkie could that be , and for the most part they were trouble free.

Personally I just dread making decisions that involve upwards of 4,000
dollars , and am looking for the support of you folks or a highly trained
psychotherapist....

Thanks Again
Rob
