A few moments later I saw some very interesting daytime running lights in my rear view, and they were advancing fast. The car was like a dried blood red...and it passed me like I was standing still on a tight bend.

Nothing better to humble you quick like a brand new Acura NSX. Man that thing was fast n loud!
Hard to compete with that

I was just bummed he didn't float behind me for a bit so I could check out the car a little.

It happened in Milan, MI, and I suspect it was one of the Car and Driver guys. Wouldn't be the first time I've run into them out there.

I received some goodies today... Not sure when I'll get these in though. I'm planning on blasting the manifold and polishing it... that will have to come first as I will install everything together. I'm also working on some door pull straps for the interior...so that will eat into my free time.

The Velox red looks pretty close to the OEM powdercoat. But how close? 😀

More work on my Alt/Comp cover...



I also started researching how to go about making Door Strap Pulls today. I found some good info on the net. I have two ideas that I'm debating. If I'm successful, expect a write-up sometime in the future.

Since I received some parts today, I now have some straight forward installs and some fabrication heavy installs...I wish I had more time!

Looking at your plate thingy there, I suggest you include the pulley cover on the right side. I think it will look much more complete and offer some good attachment points
