    Had brakes installed on Escort

    And now I'm ready to roll to the neighbouring pleasure boat and cottage country. Use the marinas for their ammenities and the cuddy cabin as my bedroom. $600 beans lighter to safely pull 2500 pounds. With the TITAN surge coupling there isn't a problem backing up, apparently! :cool:

    Aviod Shopping Centers Oct.31 {rumor}

    Bayliner BLUE in a spray can!

    The blue gelcoat has gone cloudy and hand polishing doesn't last long. The marina suggests wet sanding and power polishing followed by waxing twice over a summmer. But since its above water and automotive spray cans have better nozzels why don't I masque it and spray it blue followed by a clear...

    To UN TURBO an engine?

    I'm sorry for the slight deviation from this board but it could interest someone. An option is to bypass the turbo on a 2.2 liter Chrysler. I'm thinking it could be done if I replace the module computer for a regular 2.2 L of that year 1986, or would there be a whole host of changes to make?

    FORCES 125hp: Puzzelling problem!

    Bought a 1988 and I couldn't start it. Solution is for the first start of the day,<br />is to squirt raw gas down the throat of the<br />two carbs before cranking. Then it works well all day. Both mixture srews are set to HALF turns only for the best performance.<br />Compression is 145lbs on...
