Small updates:Good news with the long block is that it needs a new crank/ bearings and some good cleaning and I should have it back to me! Super pumped about that.I also picked up some mint Evo 9 SE Recaro's with the red stitching. Can't...

You’re not going to see it in these pics, but where the rear main seal housing bolts to the block, the two lowest bolts closest to the oil pan rail, their bosses protrude into the crankcase a smidge. The girdle requires those to be ground down so...

Don't worry, man. It'll check out just fine. Classic mix of where OE meets aftermarket. Little buzz clearance Clarence, and she'll be golden. 🤘

Update: block is back! Wish I could be as excited about it as I should be, but when the machinist torqued down the girdle, it contacted the block at the little nubs where the rear main seal bolts go. He said it shouldn’t effect the line bore, but...

Update time. Still waiting on the block to come back from the machine shop. Dropped it off in January. Getting frustrated. Wanted to have the motor in the car in April to feel comfortable with my time line of my first event being June 22-23. Been...

The delay doesn’t bother me personally, as you could probably guess by the state of repairs lol. I’d rather they put in the proper R&D and give us the best possible product they can rather than rush it and overpay for something that’s not up to...

Update I received from Sam for anyone interested…

Almost forgot! Before sending to the tuner, I got the dash in and hood situated - new aerocatch latches and a custom made hood vent. Car was cleaned after this image, admittedly. Will have to get a completed interior pic once the car gets back.

Hell yeah 😎😎

Looking for a set of squirters for a 6 bolt.

Off to B&M performance to get fixed up. They will go through the longblock etc. Not sure if I will have them get it 100% installed or just R&R the engine etc and I'll take it from there.TBD, but they will at least get the longblock dialed in...

Talk to Ken at black sheep tuning. He’ll get you set up.

Looks like octane booster.

Time for an update I guess. Not much happened over the winter, we spent most of the time working on Brian's Miata to get it better-prepped for this season. I got the transmission back at the end of December and got that reinstalled, then...

This is awesome. Wish I was going to Palmer with EMRA. But the cars so far from done. I will definitely need to do this when time and money allow.

Here's my setup I put together over the winter:TRE welded 1/2" NPT fittings on the transmission Setrab 50-619-7612 cooler Marco UP3 164-020-12 pump Mocal AF8_240 filter (240 micron) XRP -8 ProPLUS PTFE hose/fittings Controlled by RaceCapture...

I know that feeling. Keep it up.

Eh….it was more just motivation to see something complete to keep me revved up.

Damn! Been a minute. Got a bit of stuff done. Picked up a heat barrier gasket and a bezel insert for the fueltech from Jason. Super cool. Got some of the suspension together as well. Installed the rack and the RMDSM front sway bar. Also got...
