Just received VIM from Courtesy (for Jane)

I think I was one of the last ones to get in that deal.

I'm interested on what this bad boy will do with her 2.87" equipped automagic. 300+ whp?!?!

No, I wasn't the one that spoiled the Courtesy deal so don't blame me.

Mainly Japan and Middle East. I could be wrong but I thought the Euro version had a different engine than us, the 2.5 maybe? Or I could just bewrong.

If you didn't give $ to Roadb1tch, I don't think you qualify as being "screwed" on this VI deal. Those guys paid and didn't receive anything.

It is contolled off the ECU somhow. Someone was going to try to get a ME service manual to see if US Maxes had the wire sitting unused somewhere but I guess it never happened.

Yes you can, I just ordered some copper plugs from them and told them that I WILL be buying a VI from them next summer. They replied back and said that they will still be selling them...

well if you check out my pix from Germany...the 3.0 is in Europe, and I was wondering if I could pick up a VI from Germany. I have to go there for work, apparently several times a year.

well if you can check the price (are you sure they have it over there?) I know for the one I got from Courtesy beats dealer prices in Japan- so I got a sweet deal without going through much trouble

I checked before the prices from the dealer in Japan calculated in shipping and I found that I wouldnt save more than 30 bucks over Mr. Cranmans and Ian's GD- 336 (what I paid) was an amazing price

see how much it is over in Germany if they have it
