Dude, I never asked, are you going to ship your Fiat back when you're out of Italy? It would be a cool car to see around here. Might not be fun getting any maintenence parts though.

"Can I get a lower radiator hose for a '94 Fiat?"
"A '74 Fiat? Let me check the comp... did you say '94?" lol

lol I'm still debating it. I'd love to bring it with me, but as you said, no fun with maintenance. even getting just an oil filter every few months would be a pain. The turbo has to be replaced sometime soon. when im cruising with mild boost, it occasionally sounds like a car horn. under low or full boost it doesnt do that. and there's a few other minor problems with it. it still drives great, but it's just those couple things.
im sure i'll know more about bringing it with me when i get closer to PCSing. it'll be hard for me to part with it if i leave it

English can shut off your 2nd 02, the one that's giving you issues. The car uses the one in the O2 housing manifold for doing AF/R, the one that sets off your CEL is a tattletail for a failed cat. They did it on my car and it works great!

Torque converter in an Evo IX...do tell.

I had a double-down for the first time today, and it reminded me of LL. Sooo salty! What didn't you like other than the burger ****, the ductape holding the table together, the packed small location, or the expensive food? Just wondering.

P.S. - forgot to mention this crap. I say crap cause I was just in Montana near a Fuddruckers, but didn't have time to stop in!
