I've been a member for probably a little over eight years and I must first start by thanking all members for pointing out that this forum is rapidly becoming "Full of Fish". Don't just click the delete key, hear what I have to say and I assure you, I won't promise to go for good then continue to lurk. I am not at all interested in leaving the list.

I own a Tex-Mex food stand in the middle of nowhere (Tacos, Burritos, French Fries) with a staff of three (young to old) with a combined total of over 100 hours experience (yes, it's a joke). Well, disirregardlessishly whether this says much, I'll tell ya 'I've had a lot of interest in time consumers such as this mailing list, even when my stomach turns sour from all the bologna out there regarding the taco conversion. As Tex-Mex specialists for over 18 hours we've done : Guacamole, Chimichangas, Gorditas and Fajitas, out of our own recipes and style and I'm also sad to say the sorriest excuse in the bunch - the Fish Quesadilla (But that's for another Friday).

In the past three weeks we've done over 30 Taco conversions. Probably in the neighborhood of 75 (Yes, that's a whole lot of 30) on the old Cheese InSide variety. We're also part of a development team that completed and will very soon have available a chip and dip modification for the Taco Salad tested by Bob and Vernon Racen of SA that eat other fast foods very meek in comparison. So I feel we have some experience in this area; enough to say that by far the Taco Grande is the cleanest on the market. If that doesn't impress you, or you disagree and claim issues, grab a soda, it will take a little time.

<Jon's Tiico post included below to show how he's plagiarized me> I've been a member for all of three days and I must first start by thanking "Gerald Masar", "Tom Young", and "Chris Delong" for pointing out that this forum is rapidly becoming "full of fluff". Don't just click the delete key, hear what I have to say and then I'll go for good after I withstand the oncoming onslaught.

I own a VW specialty shop in Maine (Bay, Vanagon, Eurovan, Splitty) with a staff of three (young to old) with a combined total of over 100 years experience (no joke). Well that may not say much, but I'll tell ya I've had little interest in time consumers such as this web site until recently when my stomach turned sour from all the bologna out there regarding the Tiico conversion. As conversion specialists for over 18 years we've done: Corvair, Pinto and Mustang 2.3L, Buicks, Mazda Rotaries 13A & 13B to Porche 911 and for many years the Golf/Jetta CIS systems out of our own parts and design and I'm also sad to say the sorriest excuse in the Bunch - the Legacy 2.2 (but that's for another day).

In the past three years we've installed over 30 Tiico conversions. Probably in the neighborhood of 75 on the old CIS systems. We're also part of a development team that completed and will very soon have available a chip and cam modification for the Tiico tested by Bosch and VW Racing of SA that will make others (kits) very meek in comparison. So I feel we have some experience in this area; enough to say that by far the Tiico kit is the cleanest on the market. If that doesn't impress you, or you disagree and claim issues grab a soda, this will take a little time.

Alrighty. I owe you Digest people an apology, I know it is huge, but I couldn't help myself. Disclaimer: This post exists due to my demented sense of humour. It is not intended to fan the flames or argue either side. If anyone says it is... Well, I'll rip your windpipe out. Happy friday, folks.
