Hood to air box seal showed up today from McMaster-Carr. I now have a positive seal around the air cleaner. Grand total for a minimum of 10' buy in..........35 bucks.

Big ticket items?? I've got to live vicariously through everybody else right now. Gaetano, you just got a new engine man, I'd say that's up there with big ticket items in my book. Air box seal looks good, to me the little details are just as cool as the big stuff.

Just to clarify, this is not a new engine, just a freshen up with new valves and a timing belt drive set up. : )

As much as I enjoy keeping Dave scratching his head the truth is the only work done to the heads were new valves and springs. We added the belt drive and retarded cam timing a bit to pick up a little more torque down low. Didn't touch the bottom end of the motor.

Guess I'm going to have to post the "obligatory" dyno sheet. Soon as I can remember where I put it I'll post it. Trust me.....it's not that impressive.

All the better when you whoop some ass of those with more power.

Trust me, it's impressive, it is in a complete and running car. That is impressive.

The airbox looks sweet btw......

I keep trying to tell you.....It's all about weight and tires. Hell, those Miatas are only a second or so slower than I am and probably a third of the horse power.

Thanks Rob. Truth is I dont have the patience to drag a build out like you guys do. If I skipped this season I could have installled a chicane set up for front coil overs, painted and installed my fiberglass doors and rear aluminum deck lid, and installed another cam per my new engine builders recommendations but all that will wait till next season. I'm ready to go play.
