I know people have been dying for an update so I’m going to give you a half-assed one and an excuse. First, thanks to Enkei for all of the wheels!
As usual, they are very pretty and very LIGHT.
Then we have a sneak peak of the Yokohama slicks. They’re ummm…just a little sticky:
And finally, here’s a pic of my piece of **** shortblock from 2 weeks ago before it went to the machine shop:
We’ve been working on some stuff behind the scenes (wiring, pedals, steering rack, brake lines, etc.) but I need to get pics of all of that stuff. However, the major hold back has obviously been this motor (that was supposed to just “drop right in”). As you guys already know, the entire motor had to be rebuilt before we even got to start it because the guy that sold it to me was a complete scammer.
ANYWAY, the current hold up has to do with the pistons as CP needed 2 weeks to make them custom for us. We’re going to be running 9:1 compression 99.75mm (10 over) coated pistons. I could have gotten 100mm pistons the same day, but I really didn’t want to go 20 over and figured it was worth the wait. If their time frame is correct, my pistons should ship on Monday and be here Tuesday. We’ll see…
