Just rolled into the driveway from a 70 mile trip back from McMark's Original Customs Shop in Napa... Wow. I left Mark's shop at about 4:30pm so I knew I was going to get some traffic. But magically, it was sporadic and I just cruised. This motor just never ceases to amaze me. 5th gear passes are no problem. The power is everywhere. Not peaky at all. just pulls from the bottom to the top. I love this motor!!!
I think my motor is a similar combo to Dave Hunt. He has Nickies which are actually good for a little power in addition to better cooling. I will be working out some details over the winter which will be small stuff at best. Possibly an external oil cooler. Though, I have to tell you guys this again, this motor runs cooler than my stock 2.0 liter. I strongly recommend the 2270 Raby kit. Build it yourself or have Mark do it. He has a couple of them under his belt now. This is the motor VW-Porsche should have used. |

this past weekend I disposed of a 71S, a 996, a 993, a GT3 and other various cars...all with my 2056.
yes a couple of those are not being driven to their potential, but I still got around them regardless. the 71S is a dedicated track car on stickies and I put him away. also put away an SC on stickies and track setup. I can outbrake and get thru most corners faster than most of the above cars, and initial grunt off the corners is not bad. With a 2270 my car would be fantastic. Maybe I should be building a 2270 on my GA case instead of selling it to you Rob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I need a track mentor because I haven't been on the track in years and when I did it was with a 240Z. |
