Cats out of the bag!!!

Well as you can tell there has been alot of changes in the car in the last month. Lets take a look at where the mostly were. Can you see them. The beauty of it all is that you cant even tell what chages have been made, well sort of.



Lets just go through the changes one by one. Before I do that let me introduce one of the coolest guys we have meet on this journey towards STS domination. His name is Moe, and he is from Hyper16Valve. He specializes in Honda performace pre-1996. He did all the work for us and he did it in record breaking time. Also thanks to Adam N. from the Porsche Club of America with hooking us up with Moe.



First big change or better said first removal was of the 27lbs a/c system. Every hose, bracket, pulley, belt removed






Next up we changed the timing belt and the tensioner using all new hardware to make sure that there is no question this timing belt was going to go another 233,xxx miles.




After that we had the water pump, the intake manifold and the head gasket changed. All pieces were replaced with the exact honda specified parts to make sure that we could be compliant to all the rules of our class.




Lastly we went ahead and replaced the unknown milage clutch with a OEM Factory replacement piece, along with the throw bearing.



Overall the past week or so drving the car breaking in all the new parts have been great. With all the new additions it made driving the car this past weekend a blast. Ill will be covering my side of the race in the post with the dual screen video.

Thanks again to Moe@Hyper16Valve and Adam N. from PCA for all ur direction and help, and I hope we werent to hard on you Moe, Rules suck but following them is not optional in the racing that we do and we cant thank you enough to coming to the track to tune the car on the fly between runs. Your the Man!!!
