Yes...WOT on both tests....the car ran like a bat out of hell when Scott and I autocrossed it (well bat out of hell as much as a stock ported 12a can....)

Today I am going to do the sea foam trick.... I will get the engine hot.....do a compression test....then let her gulp seafoam like a sick *****.....shut her down and sit for half hour and then go blow her out...

I will then check the compression again...

Yeap! That seafoam does wonders, I pulled the 12a out of my car and looked thru the exhaust ports and the rotors looked like someone polished the hell out of them 80's , you may also want to do some steam cleaning after the seafoam.

Well Seafoam is magic...now my compression numbers for the front rotor is 94/89/93...

Much better than having two numbers in the 50's...

How do you know if the e-shaft is bad and what would cause it to fail Chuck?

Looking good! What kind of porting did Larry's motor get (bridge port)?

Is that a rotary fan?

Well update....

The lemons motor has been broken in WELLLLL, it ran both days at the lemons race without any problems to the motor, but it did kill the NA trans. It is FAST as hell.

I cleaned my garage out and put my FD back inside, time to start working on it, Got the hood, bumper, side skirts, and sleek headlights to install. THEN THEN PAINT

I picked up Keiths Repu today and it is living at my place for a little while, I will get the motor installed for him shortly.

While keith was here i saw a WTF moment, and i share it with you now.
