the 84 has no vats system.
also,
when the resister pellet in the vats key gets warn. the
risisters value changes.
when the value changes too much, the risister value does not
match the car and the the emissions are shut down..

nah, vats keys very in price between different suppliers.
that could very well be why there is a difference in price.

that is cheap enough.
however,
the vats keys have come down in price over the last 5 years
or so.
back then they wholesaled for 10 to 12 bucks each.
now days, they can be bought for less than 5 bucks.

I broke my left front shock and would have to order just about any shock =
except the Sensatrak.
Has anyone used the Monroe Sensatrak shocks on their C-4? How do they =
compare to the stock Bilsteins?

Title: THE MINI-BALLER LAND ROVER COMETH!!
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:03:07 +0000
Author: SyNaMATIQ
 TWO DOOR LANDROVER FOR THE MINI-BALLERS Land Rover has today confirmed what we’ve long expected – that the popular LRX Concept from the 2008 edition of the Detroit Auto Show is headed for production. The British-born automaker doesn’t actually say the new ‘ute will be called the LRX when it hits the market in 2011, but it definitely will be wearing the Range Rover moniker and will therefore likely be marketed as a premium vehicle.
No details are given about the coupelike SUV’s powertrain, but Land Rover does say the new vehicle “will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle the company has ever produced.” Previous reports have suggested the production LRX will share underpinnings with the LR2 (a.k.a. the Freelander) and will be offered with an optional all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain that may use an electric motor to power the rear wheels and a transverse engine underhood driving the front wheels.
Judging from the lone rendering released with this announcement, the basic shape from the LRX Concept should survive mostly intact, perhaps gaining a slightly more pronounced front fascia to go along with the production-necessary external door handles. Expect more details to filter out at the beginning of 2010, but in the meantime, click past the break for the press release.
