    Thanks man, you have a very nice build yourself. See you at MATG this year!

    That last pic, it’s really sort of a dark bronze, sort of like oiled bronze you see on faucets. It looks darker in overcast light. This is in direct sun, pretty accurate:

    Nope. I've had the opportunity to drive a stock MSM (~178hp) and ride in a FM MSM (~210-220hp), and while the power is nice, you can't drive the car at wide open all of the time. That sort of ruins the fun of a roadster for me. If this was a dedicated track car, I would definitely consider going supercharged or turbo.

    However, long term plan (read pipe dream) is to have a high compression ITB motor in Moby.

    Maybe a supercharger is more up your alley. A rotrex would be the most linear but I love positive displacement superchargers, especially the sound.

    I'm not a fan of supercharger whine, especially when comparing to the sound of ITBs.

    I thought Rotrex had next to no whine? And a non-intercooled kit would give you about 140-150 hp isn't it?

    Anyway... got a build sheet or plans for any parts for a High-Comp ITB motor? Maruha? Jenvey? Stroker kit?

    Nope, like I said it's a pipe dream at this point. Factory power output is sufficient for me.

    I've been meaning to install the OEM eyeball vents again, just never get around to it. These vents are functional but don't match the rest of the interior theme very well.
