Spitfire

[VLADDS@domain.elided]

About Biturbo, or Spitfire. I know, and won't start a Biturbo tread, will 
just conservatively say that :
 It can not only be bad, mine did me no wrong (repair -wise, cause this is 
where the discussion is). The main source of parts MIE, is not that pleasant 
of an experience, but alternatives exist, notably our friend "Bruce's Parts 
bin" and  AlfaBill can be of some help sometimes (has good prices on 
Magnecores and such) and one really is not that often forced to buy body, 
trim, accessories and such, where you have to use MIE.
I have no idea about Spitfire, but have adopted the following idea from the 
VW circles: If you're gonna restore something, and then upgrade with 
performance parts, why not begin with a "good platform", something that "out 
of the box" has already decent HP.
Sorry for off-topic subject.
My 164 is doing well (should I be sorry that I finally got nothing to report 
about it and the on-subject posting is so short? :o) ....   )
