Scott, are your valve covers painted or powdercoated?

I checked my facebook mobile album to see when I got it out of storage....January 20th. I thoroughly enjoy how we were like "get it out of storage early so we can take care of it early."

Hahaha, in reality...things never go that smoothly.

Well fellas, I just landed from my last USAF pilot training flight a few hours ago. My graduation isn't for a couple of weeks, but I thought I would post up some pics and say "thanks" for all your support. I look forward to coming home for a few weeks in early May before I am back out to learn to fly the big tanker.

Each class gets to design their own "class patch". My class did the iphone patch.

Anybody have any thoughts on aftermarket piston coating?

example- http://www.polydyn.com/coated_pistons.htm

I thought i had heard about another coating as well. Something about it would reduce detonation and or strengthen components. IDK, What you guys know about it?

My pistons are coated; my research seemed to back it up as pretty effective, both skirts and dome.

Scott,

You running any Save-Your-*** bars up front for when that thing yanks the tires?


I upped the level of sneaky on the RX7 last night. Full exhaust out the back with a ricer can. As Nick noted, it sounds like a ChrisCraft boat now.

They are the NT555R Drag Radials. They are currently on my Camaro back in Indiana. I am currently in Mississippi, but will be coming home for a week and a half in early May (May 5 through 15th). That time period will be when I am ready to sell them. Shoot me a PM, and we'll exchange info.
