Pleasssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...................
When I read post about pollution coming from North American... it make me
mad/sad!
Bill, i was asking myself the same question (am converting a 73 carbs to
FI), and NO, it doesn't make much difference in normal driving condition in
regards of drivability, it's mostly an environment issue, about that
subject, I have a lot to say!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing, you should know that I care about environment and I drive a
2000 Honda Civic (we don't need to talk about this one!), a little 1983
Kawasaki GPz550 and a 73 Westy------------Not a big SUV with a V8 (don't
tell me that my Westy is polluting more than a V8 or even a V6), a small
motorcycle (doing 200miles on 1 tank) to drive downtown and when I have no
need for a car (fun to drive too of course) and NOT a big V8/V10 RV,s... So
already I did more than my share in regards of vehicle only.
I also recycle a lot, in many ways (Work and home).
I've been around!!! Driving both of my Westy’s across North America
( http://pages.infinit.net/eurokit/ )
and let me tell you 1 thing, if most North American (including Canadian of
course) would have a smaller car/van/truck, we as human been would make a
very big difference in the environment /pollution problems. I was amaze by
how NA drive big vehicle for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Especially in the southern part of the US!!!!! You see those big "Crown
Victoria", Eplorer, Navigator... and so on everywhere with a single guys in
a "Suit" talking on is Cell phone. So please..................
I tried hard to find that EGR filter to make my FI conversion complete but
it's almost impossible to find the missing parts (including the exhaust
system that goes with this one), so the hell with it! I will block the hole
in the intake manifold and that it, I won't feel bad for a second about
that, never!!!!! Instead I will continue driving an intelligent car company
that produce the best low emission car.
Stop driving those big car/van/truck and don't make me laugh when you say
you need it!!!! If we (VW owner) can manage with a 60/90 HP engine, other
can with a simple V6 or big 4cyl, change your way of thinking about owning a
big car/truck/van!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea, that’s the American
way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT
Now we are not talking about the "delicate" subject of getting that
Non-expensive "Fuel" to continue driving our big SUV.
