Bad *** man! I want to meet your GF too!
Can't wait to see some more pics (GF or car, either one ).
I've met Rob first hand and he is a helluva' guy, really knows his **** about the rotary engine.
Looks great!

How about a pic of the street ports?
Are those parts heat coated or just painted?
Is that Baker Precision silicone on the silinoids?
Did you have a 3some with the engine and your girl?

nice little touch pineapple does on their motors, along with other little goodies, like plugged holes that you can use to clean your oil pump, enlarged spark plug recesses so you can use regular walled sockets on the spark plugs, etc, etc

it says, "Pineapple Racing, Thompson 08 03"

Bad, bad, badass!
I love the ceramic coating Rob uses, looks just like polished aluminum. I noticed something though, all that "bling" and no Efini Y-pipe?
Looks great though.

Well said, I respect a man with a plan.
I was actually surprised to see the twins still there with all that you've done. I guess that explains it though. Keep up the good work, looks good.

hard core home depot shopper i see. we have a home depot bucket priced a 3.33 in the back ground. damn i really hate working there. although, working there slowly gives me ideas on what the home depot racing team can do for our cars
car looks super great.
