But not for long... :D

This better not be turning into a "Jas project" (ie. we don't see your car on the road for the next 5 years) :p

You got mazda to take out your engine?

Yes. We have a good working relationship.

Which machine shop?

my hero!

Island D Automotive Machine.

lemme know how your experience with Island D is... I know the dealership uses them pretty exclusively but that's all OEM stuff


I may have 2 engines for them over the winter/spring


I think I missed some of the thread though... only engine upgrade/repairs? or you doing more too?

Yes/yes.... and then more boost... :)

I love the black roof!!! Awesome. I drive a yellow car too -- but with a green roof:lol

meh, it will only be 3 years come this november.

It's getting closer! :D

Looking good Mark. I guess you'll be doing a $$$$$$$$ run soon?

Once I get the motor broken in it'll be going in for a brain transplant and some dyno tuning... :D

We're all anxious to see your car grace the rollers with a new noggin', Mark!

You better check with Rich on this one... :D
