Prior owner, Jim Chambers, had MSX gears for autocrossing. Car is quick, but it made it trying to be on the interstate. I decided to put the standard Z gear in for 5th. This work is being done by Tab Tanner at Autobahn Garage in Findlay Ohio. Here we are aligning the engine/jack fitting.

Good to see the car again Jeff. I have had several sixes since that first one and it is still the most fun to drive. The 2.5/E cam combo. is quick.
Actually, Galen at Werks II suggested the MSX gearing for the track here at Portland after I told him I thought I would do some DE. Never intended to actually try to do any wheel to wheel racing. I think I got hustled into buying some gears I really didn't need. Live and learn. Shortly before you bought the car I found one in San Jose, CA which I bought. I flew down and drove it home, 750 miles. It was geared even lower than yours. An indicated 80mph was 4400 rpm! It had your sport exhuast. What a trip. I should have stopped and bought earplugs! |
