I can take GREAT shots when I think it is important. However, I prefer to make tangible progress than to simply take pictures of that which I wouldn't have time to do. Flashwong came by this morning to take pix of the assembled short-block.
Well at least Flashwing is sympathic and will take care of me. Erick will get a few also.
BTW, Phil, the figment of my imagination wanted me to remind you that she doesn't exist and, thus, she cannot take pix for me.

You know it's real strange that no one will admit that Machalle really exists None of your friends have seen her (or will admit to her existance).
Are you going to get it back to Rotaryman 25 tomorrow?

Yes.
I can vouch that she does in fact exist!

More motor pictures! I stopped by Ray's early this morning to capture the beauty that is Phil's motor.















Enjoy!

Running the AP. Can't comment too much on it yet.

Thank you Flashwing for the pics. It's almost at the point to send it back to Rotaryman 25. You are telling me that there is a Michelle? I'll have to believe you. I guess he just hides her from the Vegas crowd.

I'm sure that Ray has talked to you about the various aspects of the vehicle but I think you'll be really happy with the final product. I know it's been a long wait but you'll have one serious supercharged rotary. I can't wait to see it completed.

I'll continue to take pics of the progress once the motor is back in the car and the project continues!

Fair enough. I own the AP as well as the EFI Dude. I wanted to ask you to do some datalogs so we could see what to expect from a new motor compared to one with allmost 100k on it like mine. If you have the EFT Dude, I sure would appreciate it if you would do some datalogs.

Would not the fact that my engine is 4 port screw up anything you would gain? I have no problem doing some datalogs if it would help you. I do not have a EFT.

Your autograph is a welcome addition to this endeavor as would be Flashwings, Rotaryman25 and Rays.

The silence is deafening! Beers may soon be in order, but I suggest a fine "whine".
