Nice Caliper color Ben

I don't know, Denny. Ben's car is getting a little flashy with orange, blue and green hoses. Now I know why he went machine grey on the pc or we'd just nickname him Bling.

Seriously, I first thought the engine might be too industrial on the stand, but offset with the black coupe it looks spectacular. I couldn't show as much restraint and I'm having Jerry do mine in "smoke chrome". Hey guys don't like my 18's either so there you have it The only things chrome on the car are the horn grills, door handles and window trim though.

Ben,
Any updates? Are you on the road again?

Doug,

We're in the midwest..its like 10 degrees over here. I know you south CA guys forget we have real winters

[mb911]

Not yet but I am finishing some stuff up right now. I had to get side tracked with my daily driver (ford expedition) it keeps spitting the rocker out from underneath the cam so I have been messing with that over the past week

[Eric-325I]

Ben, how long before we have the ability to buy the complete low boost 'kit' from you? About how much should I expect to spend?

Yes, the weather here has been crappy, typical for Wisconsin in the winter. Wouldn't be so bad but for the incredible amount of salt they dump on the roads... Where are the green weenies when you really need 'em???

Sorry if I missed this info earlier...

Thanks.

Luke,
Yes, I forgot!! It rained here one day over the weekend, if that is any consolation. Norcal has been getting blasted, but we only got one day of rain. Chilly is below 50 here at night and below 60 during the day. Not rubbing it in, but it is reality.

Good luck Ben!

I too forget that nobody drives Hondas or Toyotas in the midwest, so their daily drivers have trouble. I'm always amazed at the lack of foreign cars when I visit my Grandmother in Northern Michigan. (outside of Grand Rapids).

yup all six.. as for hp gain no it really was to rebush them and then balance them..along with shot peen them

[mb911]

1st drive in it today.. It goes thats all I can say. boost comes one at very low RPMs. I am trying to stay off of it as much as possible before its broken in..

[Facey]

[mb911]

[Don Settergren]

She looks great, however, I doubt you'll keep her that clean with all the snow melting. Congratulations. How's she running?
