I am looking forward to the carnage.

I know I have been off the air for a while. I am trying to be disciplined in these economic pits, which means more time hustling business, and less time hanging with the fellas. Jury is still out whether it is working or not.

Welcome! We almost have a nitrous section. You are the second new member to make that request so maybe we should consider it.

We welcome the open exchange of ideas and information here and encourage innovative thought.

I've got some of him and his car at the dragstrip. Car is all motor with dual sidedraft carburetors, no nitrous, no boost, all stock body panels, full interior, stock seats and it ran a 13:38 quarter and a 1.81 60'. It does have cams and a reverse flow coolant system with an electric water pump. The water goes into the head first instead of the block first. He's got skinny tires in the front and slicks in the back.

Yeah, he's faster than most of the non-baller forced induction Miatas I've seen on the strip, which is kinda funny.

Thanks Steve.

Hope to be up and running sometime before Social Security kicks in. In the meantime, I will be glad to help where I can with your project.
