Before I started working on his 124 a buddy of mine’s dad who owned an import car shop maintained it. We often joked about how that car paid his college tuition. -D > On Dec 16, 2020, at 10:51 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > wrote: > > Anemic at best. Not much power. Very well balanced though.

Back in the 1980s I knew that needed a small engine, but thought it needed more power. Sorta wanted to buy a 'Fix It Again, Tony' version and try to fit a little Mazda rotary engine in it. I already had a name for it, the RX-1/9. Today, there's all sorts of aluminum block turbo four cylinders that might go nicely in the back of a X-1/9, Fiero, or MR-2. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
