Well, since everyone's been talking about gas prices in the past few digests, I
thought I'd share my latest engine swap *wish*. See, tired of the high cost of
gas, I traded the ol' SUV for a VW Jetta diesel. Now if only I could get that
engine in a rwd configuration for my Spit (yes, I hear you all cringing as I
type...), it would not only be a rocket (100hp) and stump puller (177 ft lb
torque!!), but would get over 40mpg (I've never gotten over 25 or 26 in that
car). But I do wonder how many rear ends all that torque would tear out of the
car.....
But the rear end issue aside, how cool would *that* be??
Let the flames begin.... :-)
