Default Time for an update

Hello fellow Rennsporters
Hope everyone is enjoying winter. Several Rennsporters have dedicated track builds underway and we should see a new crop of hot cars on the track, ol #61 being one of them.

A new core was sourced just in time for Christmas, machining was completed and the assembly is now complete .
We should be getting the new motor back into Canada in the next 2 weeks and the installation fun will begin.
The good folks at WeTune have wisely invested the winter down time to take care of many maintenance items. Amazing all the regular maintenance things that need to be taken care of; redoing brake calipers, changing coolant hoses, oil pressure gauges etc. etc.
In the next couple of weeks the heart transplant operation should be complete and we hit the WeTune chassis dyno. Gonna make some noise and then break in the motor.
As for the motor.... a 3.6 wolf in sheep's clothing with solid parts, expert engineering and assembly. A little more later... stay tuned

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the track May 2...

WHAAAT you don't think a hot 2 stroke is fast, ok, it may smoke a bit more than some 944s but just think of the after taste left in your mouth.

Default Engine ****!

Unwrapped our package. Some teaser pics of another FLAT6 Innovations creation. We lucked out to discover no intermix milkshake residue in the coolant pipes and radiators, so we can move forward with the install.
Can't wait to fire this one up.

Cleanliness being close to Godiness..... you will become a God of Speed.

I'm sure the attention to detail lavished on this jewel will provide years of pleasure on the track.

Good luck, Stan.
