    Extractors went in yesterday and my god they're an improvement! The power delivery is so smooth and the throttle response is unreal.

    4-2-1 wasn't my first choice but it really does give this engine some much needed low end torque. Reline is still a very comfortable >6500rpm.

    To top it off, I shut the engine off this morning and about 5 seconds later, the biggest backfire imaginable through the exhaust. Must be those super rich jets I'm still running haha.

    I'm hoping to get some small jobs done on the car over the Christmas break so stay tuned. Might have to get a video as well as the sound this engine/exhaust combo make is just so delightful to listen to.

    Home-made two tone door cards are in (they have been for a while) and matching rears to boot. Pretty simple really, especially with the help of the ragtop carpenter, Marcus Aurelius.

    On a side note, hit the big 300k today! What a milestone on the first day of the year

    300,000? Just a young pup.

    Congrats on getting it looking good and it sounds like you're happy with the way it goes too. Double win.

    Pic from the MMC Walhalla Cruise today. Was actually such a mad drive with some mad people and some mad weather!

    Also, the Sweetheart turns 40 years old this month, so there's a present for her in the works. Should be a nice addition to her package.

    P.S. The mk1 killed it in the twisties. S2000s didn't stand a chance haha.
