Re: Off topic - Lee's wife!
Lee.. glad to hear the Little Women was okay. I was just curious... she wasn't putting on mascara or talking on a cell phone was she :) Roy 99 EVC - with VERY NOISY and funny feeling brakes!

Re: ev_update: replacing 140hp V6 w/201hp?
Isn't this the third recent accident reported by this list? Lee, glad to know your wife is all right, but does she think the brakes weren't up to the task of stopping in time, or was this accident

Re: ev_update: replacing 140hp V6 w/201hp?
Which brings up the question, just how fast has everyone gone in their EV/EVCs? 90? 100? 110? Faster? (any numbers provided would be assumed to have been reached on a closed course, of course). Serge

Re: ev_update: replacing 140hp V6 w/201hp?
Lee, I am glad to hear Phyl is OK, too bad about the accident. But, regarding the increased hp engine, you're really just trying to find a way to break you EVC land speed record, right? Larry ---

Re: Maaco or Earl Scheib
same. The main thing about any cheapo paint job is lack of proper prep folks. I've said this many times on Vanagon over the years, it is prep time you pay for, spraying a car is a joke, but the

"my 2001 EVC comes with an access opening precut - almost exactly as my old 97 EVC." Is this simply a hole or is it a hole with a covering? Peace, Love and Serenity, Madeleine

ev_update: replacing 140hp V6 w/201hp?
My wife rear-ended an Econoline, thus attacking its bumper with our engine. She wasn't hurt other than having a sore neck for a few days, but in addition to extensive nose damge, the body shop tells

belly pan
i kind of worry about the pan soaking up a telltale leak before it's noticed in time. the absence of a pan allows me to peek under more often than every oil change. maybe if the sound pad was removed

Re: Belly Pan/Oil Change
Its such a bad idea that VW decided to do it on the later production dates of 2000 and all 2001. So much for that theory. Baldy

Re: Hitch carriers
That's good to know. I was hoping to add something like that for our 6-month trip around the U.S. planned for next year[+1?]. We know we did not want a trailer because the extra wheels come with speed

Re: Belly Pan/Oil Change
While I agree with Don on not removing the pan at all is a bad thing, I understand the need to be able to do a quick oil change... Do this, after cutting the "hole", don't throw the "hole" piece away.

the I had a mechanic cut an access opening on my 95 EVC, then the same procedure on my 97 EVC. Now, my 2001 EVC comes with an access opening precut - almost exactly as my old 97 EVC. Kunio
