the new power steering hose is really noisy...still..at low rpms
Sounds like a early"smallcar " hose
Turns heads at stop signs, and makes the passengers ask questions  |

A V8 in the front of a Vanagon? Huh, that's an interesting concept, nice piece of engineering there. I imagine some of the gasses from the V8 come up the defroster vents a bit though.

Wasnt that the V8 ad campaign in the 80s?
I see your commercial now....your blue masterpiece passing broken down converted vans on the way to a inspection station....another van causing all sorts of issues for the ref, as you pull in the next bay, get passed and blow on out of there. The camera zooms in on your face while driving away, you smile and say....he shoulda got a 1.8.......the end.
If you choose to follow up with this idea....I would love a massive discount on a kit. I will make it available for testrides on the East Coast and possibly shoot a vid myself along these lines.
Well, it was worth a shot.
Keep up the good SAH |
