Time For A Change
Time For A Change
The engine that is. 
With 228K on the clock, my (second) clutch disintegrated on the way home last night. Had CHIBI towed to the fine folks at Edge Motorworks in Dublin.
Actually the timing could not have been better. I have a low mileage (20k) engine (with NS-1 cam installed), re-manufactured supercharger, TorSen limit slip assy, Mishimoto aluminum radiator, new fan assy, new clutch assy, new steering rack, new ball joints and a bunch of other goodies ready to transplant.
Engine is actually running fine, slightly low compression in #3, and the supercharger is just starting to get whiney.
Here's to the next quarter-million miles!
