Yes, it's still active!

I finally reactivated my account and noticed that it has been almost two years since last update. First, thanks for all of you who have been following this blog! I discovered that this new version can tell some stats about visits and dispite my lack of time there has been some readers' activity.

So, what's new? About year and a half ago I had a spun conrod bearing. That was no biggie and hardly did any damage. Oil starvation during hard driving on the track caused that more or less. Remedy: racing oil pan baffle that keeps oil under the snorkle at all times. Having the engine opened it was also a convenient time to finish all the other stuff that was left half way the year before.

2011 upgrades:
- 160000 km driven short nose cranck -> factory new long nose cranck (balanced)
- Stock rods -> Carrillo A-beam rods
- ACL Raceline bearings (main and conrod)
- 3-angle valve job and valve train rejuvenation
- Toda adjustable cam gears
- DIY CAI with pressure box: inlet pipe from the "mouth", pipe diameter 100 mm -> 76 mm -> 60 mm -> stock TB
Result: Fully maintaned, reliable, in tune B6ZE. More of these will find their way here soon.

Thus summer 2011 was filled with carefree and revarding moments on and outside the track:

Another nice video for you. White gen 1 Miata emits very nice exhaust note (3:00 on, and 4:30)!
