Can they be converted to run mechanically? no computer? I'm not ruling out going that way but i am getting an old 1.6l witth 166k miles on the clock this weekend and that will get it reliably mobile in the short term i had planned on rebuilding the engine that is in it now and going all out with it bored over, ceramic coated pistons, stronger con rods, possibly piston oil squirters, metal head gasket, ARP head studs, Turbo, ported head though with a turbo I don't think it matters much. I was also toyin with Anodizing the exterior of the head just for ****s and giggles I have a buddy that does anodizing in his garage. Also as far as the CTN goes my 020 may have a lower final gear ratio anyway I'd have to try to find the code on the tranny and i don't know where to look and if it bolts up I'd like to keep it simple is best as far as i'm concerned.

@Redneck
Everyone loves the exhaust I went into my local autozone when i was driving the thing regularly and he looked outside and asked if it was my car I said yeah why? He responded that he'd seen it on facebook. I got on the highway with it and there were 2-3 cars behind me all recording it.
