    Congrats!

    Sound must be ear-splitting in a workshop! Where are you test-driving?

    I'm really very happy. Kinsler really knows his stuff and 0846 is running very well. She starts easily and is much more drivable.
    I had a great drive and look forward to rolling on the miles.

    For those in the Detroit area she'll be at Meadowbrook with her sister Dino Competizione.

    That's a great photo. Glad everything turned out well. Congrats!

    It's too bad that Lucas MFI gets a bad rap.

    I think it needs to be maintained to exact tolerances to work right and not everyone can do than. The units used in the Maser have a few extra controls that helps on the street.

    Sweet!

    Jim,

    Unfortunately I live a little far away from Detroit: please let me know when you post something on youtube?

    Fine tuning is almost done. We were running too much PSI and cranked that down which helped. We're raising the idle a touch and are just about there.
