  1. Hey guys, we're switching gears and redesigning the logo.

    The final design is nearly in place, but there's two versions with different fonts. We like both, so the final choice will come down to the community. Vote for the one you prefer!

    V.1

  2. I use it because it's cool, and because 2-strokes are torque monsters by small engine standards. Also if you mix the fuel correctly you have little to no smoke.

    I'd have no qualms about using something like a Ryobi One+ Hybrid mower, I just have no need because I have like, six gas powered mowers to choose from in my garage, including what is considered the holy grail of engines, a 2-stroke Suzuki powered Toro Recycler.

  3. Shortly after getting that project done, my friend convinced me to drive out Carlisle for my first All Chrysler Nationals. I had less than a week to prepare, but little engine bay detailing was in order.

    Next year I'll get even more done for Carlisle. :)

    At the same time I did this, I also painted the wiper cowl.

  4. Been a while since I posted anything in here, or much in general, so here's a tally of this years projects:

    In June on my way home the car got very warm near my house. I nursed it back by running the heat. Come to find out it was low on coolant. What followed was an extensive maintenance project the involved the replacement of the lower intake manifold gaskets, manifold tuning valve o-ring. coolant recovery tank, several hoses, and what columinated into the replacement of the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner.

    While I had things apart I also cleaned and painted some components that typically don't get any TLC.
