    I already have the 80. Making it into a 105 will cost me a fraction of what the heavier and far more complex turbo engine would be. Not to mention the hassle you touched on getting an engine imported.

    Besides I rarely get into the altitudes that the turbo would benefit from.

    Hey Larry, your old and sad looking Mangy Fox is looking GREAT!

    (I saw it before Larry started taking it apart - most would have passed on it, but Larry saw its potential).

    That is going to be one sweet machine. I especially like the taller gear, something I've always felt our Kitfoxes need. Your paint scheme looks cool too.

    Tell us more about what mods you are doing to it.
