If you plan on a reliable, trouble-free trip car-wise I highly suggest you tune up the FI system. Now is not the time to start learning about carbs on the T3 engine (i.e. right before the trip) if you're thinking of this type of conve]t A properly running FI system will deliver *good* gas mileage and get your top end up (95mph, level ground, no tail wind, one really skinny high school student driving ;) and will cruise all day long (well, I wouldn't recommend 95mph all day, though). Buy quality, not cheap parts. Yeah, they may be more $$$ but in the long run you actually save money due to reliability and longevity. If you need our help you're gonna have to tell us EXACTLY what's wrong. We're all taking a break this month from mind-reading as it can be rather tiring :) CC replies to: None, as I get messages right away.
