Title: Sadly happy
Post by: jimfoo on August 26, 2008, 06:26:52 pm
Well, the fastest car I have ever owned is gone, but it will live on as a rebuilt turbo for my Diesel. It is however a rusty basket case now, but at one time I had it up to at least 145(had to go by the tach) 1968 Cougar. But now I have the money to have Street Toys rebuild my VNT. They were the only place I called who said they could definitely get the parts, and said it would probably run $400ish depending on what exactly I wanted done. I also started working on my spare AAZ pump, grinding down the pin and timing piston. I now have 4.7mm more travel. the control lever is next, then it gets swapped into my M-TDI pump in place of the stock stuff that's in it.
