Awesome! I've gotta figure out what the give-away will be for this year. Unless we stick with the first-aid kits again.

Car's looking nice! Love the simplicity of N/A sutff.....

First time I read the title I swear I read it "My baby got back". I was looking forward to a different type of pic but the motor looks hot too.

BCM for me this year too.

Thanks. That's what I was going for. I want to relocate the alternator to keep the top of the engine 'clean'. Can't remember who offered the bracket for that though.

You were expecting babes? lol You'll have to use your favourites list for those websites.

Glad to see that there's interest in the BCM again. We'll have to figure out some potential dates and start a poll so that we can book it as spring starts before everyone's schedules fill up.
We would also like to do a fall cruise this year. The route is amazing that time of year, both through the pennisula and the valley.

Pineapple Racing used to make it. I'd inquire as I believe they stopped making them

Too much work, I'll let you do all the work this year. I probably won't be there, just because!

Actually, we might have to start working on this again, give me a call sometime, and we can start getting details ironed out. I think sometime mid July is the best time, maybe mid August, but if we wait that long, we might as well wait till October, however this would limit the amount of students, that could partake. Maybe a summer and a fall would work out, I'm really itching to make some boost so this should be a good summer.

I like the idea of a summer and fall cruise for sure. We'll iron out potential dates and poll the masses to see when the majority can make it.

Finally! It's back on the road. Proctor has been kind enough to break it in for me while I'm away on vacation. He's more than earned it!

I wish that I could upload some pictures, but they are too damn big and I don't have time right now to reduce them. The vacation road awaits.

Looking forward to the BCM!!!

Yep, got the car, it's already at 150km's, should put about 500 more on it tonight, and maybe start hitting redline on Friday afternoon. I do have some issues with the overall professionalism of the work that went into this car prior to you picking it up, but I will leave that for another thread when the time comes.

Just got in, put on over 500km's today, should be broken in no time, however the carb does lot like it when you feather the throttle, but we still need to tune it.

Anyways, I have 1/2 tank, and no fuel monies left...

I suspect that the needle valve is playing a role with that feathering the throttle issue. On its maiden voyage over to your place Nismo, I noticed that was happy with acceleration (especially when it nudged 4k briefly) but stumbled a little when in the lower revs.

It has about 650km's on it, I took off for the weekend and couldn't drive it, and I am welding the exhaust up, and the oil has been changed, I'll likely drop it off tonight. It cruises really nice at 130 on the 400 series by the way, I took it up through Sarnia and London so I could vary the revs more and not get it impounded, and be screwed. I think it's far too loud to be enjoyable but we will see...
