I can't find any big pictures right now, but here goes anyway.

-1991 talon tsi awd: 60-1, JE/Eagle shortblock, haltech e6k, all the supporting mods, 428awhp@18psi.. and that pic was taken the day I made new FMIC pipes and before I put the bumper cover back on


-1991 RX7: used to be a SBC swap car with an aluminum headed 327, but sold the drivetrain during hard times. Currently a shell with no drivetrain, waiting until i can come up with a new engine setup. (that's why the front end is sitting up so high in the pic)


-1974 Dart: rebuilt 225 slant, working a/c, 100% original no restoration work at all, avocado gold paint *current daily driver*


-1996 dodge ram: lowered 3/5, 360 with a 210/218@.050 cam and M1 single plane intake, 16" outlaw2's, and flowmasters

I have to say I agree. That mini is the coolest so far IMO. I dont want to say anything negative about any other car because they are all bad ***, but that honda motor in that EXTREMELY light platform would make for one hell of a track machine or canyon carver.

Thanks for the compliments guys, it's still a work in progress. I swapped headers again, it's hard to find one that is popular with the Honda guys that makes good power and that fits this car, It has a 5 zigen on it now, which is stainless instead of ceramic coated, so it has a nice bronze color

I don't know about the 0-60 times, it's SEVERELY traction limited, and when it does hook up, it defines the word torque steer ! I have a Torsen LSD in it, I went against the recommendations by the guys who have done this before, it's pretty harsh, they claim in such a light car all you need is a phantom grip, they work great and you aren't fighting it all the time. I might tweak the toe and caster to see if I can improve it a bit before I "downgrade" the diff. As far as gas mileage? Ha, it's fully built, high compression, big cams, tuned with Hondata, I'm sure it's WAAAY worse than a stock one, because the tuner added A LOT of fuel over the stock map after the mods. I think the compression might be a bit too high for pump gas. If I remember right it's 11.75:1, I'm using the Civic type R pistons (big dome) in the integra Type R block.

Here is the new header on the dyno
