Default UPDATE on the car... What does a car guy like myself buys himself on his Birthday?

How about we start with a new AZG crankshaft for his 2.0 litre conversion...

To make the car lighter we get a custom built Eurogear (light weight version) Carbon Fibre hood. More details on this CF hood and my previous CF hood on a later post.

To keep things cooler under the CF hood and to relieve/reduce the high pressure that forms under the hood which may ultimately increase downforce on the front end I got hood louvers.
These are the RunCool medium size, aluminium made, semi gloss black powder coated, high flow rate model.

Last but not least I got word today that my Clutch Master FX600 twin disk clutch/steel billet LWFW assembly was on its way to my engine builder to get checked out and balanced if need be.

Default Glad to see someone is spurring a recovery from recession!

So two questions 1) what else have you got planned this year and 2) when is the first outing (the car not you!)

Default Well a lot of others mods are tied in to the 2.0L upgrade so big $$$. Hopefully it will be...

Ready for April.

BTW, nice picture of the Miata. Where was it taken?

The guy that does the pictures there is really good. I got some great pictures of the S4 up there from him last year. Maybe see you at NHMS?
