181. VIN#'s and DATA PLATE's -- I have two more BLANK ONES! (score: 1)
Author: Thomas Walter <twalter@austin.rr.com>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 20:30:04 -0500
Adam had a good point about "do not trust the VIN#" on the dataplate to match up with the Chassis. I recently auctioned off a BLANK Dataplate for a 135hp 2000. While it is a reproduction, the dealers

High bid on the dataplates were $50. So looks like American Cancer Society will be $100 better, and I KNOW who got the plates (I really get nervous about selling blank VIN# plates on eBay!). For tho

The "R20" will add a good bottom end torque. Keep the stock R16 carbs (which will need to be rejetted with a new needle), and you will have a very nice street car for around town. Yes, it will run o
