Vroom vroom, what a beautiful sound.

I stopped by to see Moe and the Civic today after the engine rebuild. The engine had 250 miles on it and we took the car out for a little drive to put some miles on the engine.





Before Moe was ready to go out, I took the car around the block. Since I had never driven a 0 mile engine like this before, I wasn't sure how hard to drive the car, so I took it nice and easy.

When Moe was ready, we left and he drove. He had no problem revving the car up through the gears, all the way to the rev limiter and the car both sounded nice and pulled nice and (from the passenger seat) hard. The new 'seafood' green air intake makes a funny whistle that is noticeable on the street, but not really noticeable when driving hard.

The brakes didn't feel right, some times the pedal would go down low and other times it would feel firm, so when we got back, Moe bled the brakes again and found air in the left rear brake line - the one that leaked a little at the last event. After that, it felt nice and firm.



This car is such a blast to drive. Both Jason and I are super excited to get out there and play again. If you are in the SoCal area and need a good engine guy, Moe's the man (and he's worth the drive)! He has been studying the rule book so hard to make sure that he keeps us legal. This is going to be so much fun. No more excuses for Jason and myself. Now we really have to drive!



Now, if you decide to give Moe the work, we have no problem with that, just keep in mind that we will have priority ;-)
