My car....
Sounds like a confessional kind of, doesn't it...
Well, after waiting for 5 months, my car is back together!! I'm sure I
didn't mention it here, but I needed an engine re-build, so back in Feb, I
took the engine out of my GTV and took it apart.
New- cams, guides, valves, pistons, liners, rods; balanced crank, flywheel
assy......
Mostly back to stock, as that is what I run the car in for autocrossing, BUT
what a difference!!! When I took it apart, I was horrified to see so much
debris embedded in the bearings and pistons- very poor previous re-build.
Now its a GREAT engine- I just ran it yesterday at an autocross, and I can't
say how happy I am!!! It even took me 8 runs to remember how to drive the
darn car- its quite different than a Miata.
I can't wait to get to the convention next week!! And if I am REALLY lucky-
maybe I can win one of those cool Stebro exhaust systems. If not- then
custom stainless one done locally at a race shop.
Hope to see you at Hallett and K.C.!!!
