Mark, I am thinking that you if anyone would have a good handle on what a 85 Euro is worth. How much beyond the $8,100 were you willing to go?

Mark Anderson

Thanks but I went past what I really thought it was worth.

Mark Anderson

Ken are you close to the airport or the seller? I might just fly up and drive it home condition permiting.

PorKen

Mark, you have my address on file.

We live close to airport (my WOT 'test track' is out there). What looks like the seller's storage is not too far away.


You should let me make a 55psi (S4 FPR) chip for it, before you drive it back. It should be a quick conversion from my existing '85-'86 32V chipset. I have a spare S4 knock sensor valley plug waiting for it (courtesy of GB).

I could probably even convert it to use a S3 LH, with an O2 loop. (Have the wiring for that, here somewhere.) Speaking of which, how are you going to register it in CA...or should I ask?

Mark Anderson

Do you have time to do this in the next day or so? Let me know what to bring.

gbgastowers

I hope you know a good source for parts for that beast.

smudaaar

Will you be able to register and drive it in CA?

Mark Anderson

I sure hope so but if not I have a dismantler plate I can hang on it.

Mark Anderson

I think I have a few connections.
Actually this is how it all started for me. I bought a Euro S back in 1986 or so and could not find parts.

Hey Ken and Mark....if you do fly up...maybe we can arrange a mini-gathering?...Gustav's? or somewhere in the Portland area??? I'd be up for popping down

PorKen

Ha! It would take a few days to just get it checked out and replace the sensors, etc. Chip tuning would take at least 2-3 days (weeks) to do properly.

Oh well. The weather isn't very conducive to doing WOT runs anyway.


Of course, I don't mind giving you a ride from the airport to the venue. (I'd offer you a place to stay, but our spare room is not available, unfortunately.)

I have a four post lift you can use to check out the car before you leave. Maybe some of the local schmucks will stop by, or we'all can go someplace for lunch/din-din or something.

Mark Anderson

Thanks for the offer but my mother lives a bit south so I will stay with her. There's a southwest at 7 I can take but I've yet to hear from the seller but I'd like to take you up on the offer for the lift. Is your 1207 phone best to reach you at?

PorKen

RE: phone, yes.


I can probably also arrange for an hour or two on a two-post lift, inside (my four post is outside), Thu or Fri, at my friend's shop, if need be.

PorKen

Or, did you mean a lift from the airport? We stay up late, so no problem there, either.


At minimum, you'll probably want to bring along a rebuilt MAF. Especially, with a LH 16V. (Never know with these darn MAFs.)

I know where that place is... I will look up the address.
