I'd definitely be interested in a video on that FI system there. I'm a die-hard carburetor guy, so I'm interested in seeing if these FI systems have come far enough along to change my mind. Even today, I'm still not a fan of anything electronic in cars. The '74 Yamaha RD350 I built 8 years ago has zero electronics – that's the way I prefer all my vehicles. That said, GM's TBI system, and Ford's early Multi-Port system have proven themselves worthy of my use … but this new system has yet to prove itself.
I'm impressed – you've got alot of irons in the fire, and are still passionate about it! I'm finding as the years pass by, I'm becoming less and less enthusiastic about doing anything repair, or build-related these days. I feel like I'm losing my fire. Part of it is health, but I think most of it is just outright disgust with modern vehicles. I did battle today on a '02 VW Passat, 1.8T with a 5-speed m/t, removing its smashed oil pan – I've never felt more wore out than I do right now. Took the wind right out of my sails. I know how this industry is – I've always had these ups and downs ever since I first picked up a wrench, but lately, the downs are DOWN, if you know what I mean.I need to take a hard look at how I earn a dollar, and start turning down work that I don't feel like dealing with, and not feel guilty about it, I think. I still have my 20 year old brain that tells me to do it all to prove to myself that I can … but that doesn't work with the mid 40's body!
Anyway, sorry for the rant/vent session. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Fairmont and GMT-400 vids. I appreciate all your filming/editing efforts, Eric!👍👍
