Building a racecar
After a ride along with 949 Racing I knew I needed to get on track with other cars.
The ever evolving miata track toy / race car…. started from a $900 NA miata with a blown head gasket.
Carrillo A-beam Rods, Weisco Forged Pistons
Fully balanced crank and all new race bearings. Plus ARP studs.
Engine Rebuild 2019
It started when I seized the engine at a Laguna Seca track day….
From there it was obvious that I needed to take the engine to the next level to match the rest of the build.
Rebuilding the VVT set took a bit of time to get right! Lots of small parts
Finally needed to get the entire block painted. I couldn’t put a new fresh built engine into Cremesicle without a solid paint coat.
Ended up with a Ford Grey block, vivid white head gasket and black lettering to pop.
Very happy with the end result!
Miatas at Laguna Seca 2019 - hours after a thrash to finish the engine install
So happy with this engine bay and tucked harness
Just dropped in the fresh rebuilt engine
Getting a wash while the engine was out.
