A client whose bill I had given up on came through, so there is some extra cash in the budget.

These guys claim they can rebuild and get 160 hp out of a 22R. That would be very fun in my Sunchaser, and would make highway driving a lot better. I just paid off an old credit card like a responsible adult, so it would seem that something involving cars that is senseless and stupid is in order.
I am having unwise automotive urges. I wonder if this is how serial killers feel when the urge to kill comes on, except with engines instead of horrific violence?
The compromise would be to buy the 190cc kit and upgraded shocks for the Vespa, then start tearing it down for the big restore.
But 160 hp Sunchaser.
