521ofdoom Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 You'll have a hard time passing a set of mikuni's through bs inspection. Both Phil and Johnny are well versed in what vintage Japanese speed parts run these days... Quote Link to comment

Hybridchemistry Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Alrighty, since last update a few things have happened. 1) Car has been moved to a new safe location! 2) Car got a mild paint job! 3) I finished as best I could the port and polish, which is quite the pain on a L head vs a Z head 4) Something else might have happened this weekend, but as I was away and have yet to talk to the rest of the team I don't know what it is. Pictures! Our theme has changed by the way. I'll just say that Ming the Merciless would disprove. :) Quote Link to comment

Racing can be so much fun! :cool: Thanks for the kind words :) Unfortunately, next track time will most likely be the Friday before Sears Pointless, March 5th. I think for the first race, we had dropped about $5000 on the whole project, including safety, race equipment (suits, helmets, etc), gas and travel stuff. Pretty cheap as far as racing goes I think. Also, some more super sekret pics: Quote Link to comment
Hybridchemistry Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 She's look'n good! This weekend will be the final build weekend, let's hope everything gets together and we crank it on Saturday! Quote Link to comment
Hybridchemistry Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Man I crack myself up sometimes. Crank the car on saturday? Yeah right. So, the jerks at the shop that was doing some work on the engine decided to wait to the last possible minute to finish stuff. Thus, we got the block really late, and the engine still isn't running. Great. Anyway, here's some pics: Quote Link to comment
