Brant,

Are you going to try and make Hastings this year. I am out there next weekend for the Great Plains Carrera GT. Then in August we are going to have a "national" 924 gathering starting with a track day at Mid America Motorplex near Glenwood, Iowa. Let me know how your other little problem turned out.

Who made that one? I have an Electromotive crank-fire unit ready for my Twin-plug, but thinking of selling it and getting a 12 Dizzy from J-B Racing

funny.. I bought an electromotive too (for sale soon)
this one is from Aaron at Rennworks. We did a lot of research and found out that many of the manufactured units don't have upper bearings. The heavier than single plug rotors are causing lower bearing failures and upper wiggle due to racing and extended high rpm. This one has an upper bearing unit installed to prevent that

Time for an update.
Last summer was rough.
Above are the pictures of the wreck in the first event of last year (april)
well we did body work (again) and paint (again) and brought the car back out last July 2010.... well first day back the motor let go
nothing catastrophic.... just a smoke cloud and down on compression in one cylinder. We are hoping its only a broken ring or something that didn't damage too many parts. 100 race hours, 5 years (and all at high rpm) so I'm not unhappy at all.

Well today I installed the new motor
were taking 4 days vacation to wrench in grand junction and hope to pour oil in tomorrow...

here is the new tilton (all new plates, discs, and housing) bolted to mr. Becks used flywheel:

Great looking motor, what's the size? I'm guessing rather high c:r with the twin plugs.

Is that the Patrick Motorsports engine mount...looks cool.
