Default It's alive! My RSA is back with a freshly rebuilt engine!
I picked up my RS America last night from Buckley Racing with a freshly rebuilt engine. Its been a long 3+ months without it. But it was worth the wait. Jim Buckley did an outstanding job on it. Even visually, it is beautiful. He polished or powder coated almost every piece of metal and fitting on the engine. I tried to capture it in photos, but the lighting wasn't good. But here are a few photos to share my joy at having the car back.


Now I just have to baby it through the break in period...

What!? Go out there and kick her in the ***; go to the first DE you can find! Break'er in right and show her who's boss. Then when you're nice to her, she'll appreciate it.

Greg,

That's a clean fan. Time to dirty up.

Best,

Dang. I'm actually kind of disappointed. Your wife's grocery getter was a guaranteed pass at every DE.

I'm not sure I'll be passing the RSA. Looks great, congrats!

Glad to hear you're back up and running. Earlier I looked at mine I stuck in the backyard a couple of months ago and thought I should get it out this weekend.

Perfect, it should be broken in by Sebring, I will even cover the R&I both ways.
I can't wait to see how a car runs with some sack.
