Nice pics of the blocks Rob!
The wrinkle red one which is mine is going to be a 8:1 2.3L. Not going for max power but rather a nice wide powerband that can take a 30min road race session without causing harm.
Assembly to follow as soon as I decide on the set of rods i want to buy!
The powder looks awesome on the blocks and really does put painted blocks to shame in comparison and hte durability is unmatched. So whats the completetion ETA on the build Mike, 2015? Looking good, but why such low compression? I would think 9:1 would be a better option? My bottom is ~8.8:1 & on straight 94 (meth off), I can run 23-24psi, no problem. Thats still with 15deg or so of timing up top.

Believe you have abit of an uphill battle Rob, think Mike's origional ETA on the Talon was 2.5 years ago now Mikes just trying to be origional, by the time his Talon is up & running, it will be the only one left on the road Edit: In Mikes defense, he does have one of the cleanest 1G shells around

I "think" since we have been collaborating, his inspiration is back, he's spent a good chunk of money in the last few months, and more work has been accomplished in the last few months than over the past few years, I have faith

This august wil be 5yrs since it ran.........i'll take the cristism lol. I want it to run soon
Now i just need Reza to chime in with a smart a$$ remark
Same excuse. Life is busy, Brightside is growing, career is going well and the car took the back seat.
I want a track car to beat the crap out of at the track as I'm starting feel bad for the Mini after a track day.
Mark, I even deleted the column out of my spreadsheet that shows how much i could part it out for!
Rob got me motivated again to get it done and also got me motivated to create even more projects for it. Even though the motor will be pretty it can only sit on the engine stand for so long....
Reason for 8:1. Couple reasons, room for error in tune, take a beating for longer at elevated temps on the road course and because i got BNIB Magnus spec stroker pistons for $250.

I feel you Mike, DSM's are getting boring now. Atleast for me.
Your not missing out, and atleast you have the mini to race. Much more things to do in life, than stupid DSM's, lol !
It wouldn't even surprise me if you finally decided to sell it.

Creating something yourself and it working out is what excites me. Who would of thought there is more to life than cars...huh i must be growing up. Thank God a Mint 1g Shell is only worth like $1500 tops... haha

A rarity I've never seen in a DSM. Rolling to Toronto and back today in a 91 AWD Automatic with a soon-to-be member, and a local to me, I notice this: Sorry for the cell phone pic, but has anyone ever seen this before? I had a 91 FWD Auto and didn't have this in my car. Oh, by the way, this car is uber clean, and stock right to the airbox. Hey my 92 auto has that too,
11.45@125, stock bottom end 6bolt 2g head. 272 hks cams. Holset hx35 Backyard biult!!
