Gold leaf is sick. So, I know you guys are like anti-autox but any chance I’ll see it out in the parking lots this summer? ---

Yeah, I usually run the Seneca Army Depot events, and I’ll probably hit a test and tune locally to play with some settings. I’m not anti AutoX it’s just old hat now. ---

[quote=“MPD47,post:300,topic:19571"”] Got my splitter back from Josh (lafengas), all reinforced with carbon where it normally falls aparts and splits open. See: [/quote] The Kevlar will be your saving grace…i just used the CF to help absorb the excess epoxy since the shape wasn’t conducive for vacuum bagging…which would have been ideal. Besides, now you can tell people that you have Ballistics Kevlar from Russia, which is illegal to posses in the U.S… great conversation starter. ---

The only thing that really needs attention is the oil pickup every winter due to the lack of balance shafts. We’re probably going to construct a new one though which doesnt fall apart like the stock one without balance shafts. ---

Hopefully the new turbo engine will be on the engine dyno winter of '07/'08 getting broken in and tuned (depending on funding, of course). The NA engine, the new turbo engine, and the car will all be at the BlownEuroz Meet 🙂 ---

The head is just on there for the meet as I still need to send it out to get refreshed, but didnt want to put a rush on the guy who is doing the work for me. Have a bunch of stuff to button up tomorrow, bodywork, put the transaxle in, etc. But getting the block in is a huge step forward. ---

Looking good I know who to call when I rebuild my motor ;). Also when you make the custom pickup I probably would be interest as a new oil pickup is better than a 20 year old one:) I will be hoping to have mine out mid to late april and trying to put down some big tq numbers as me and Jim have been planning :snky: ---
