That is way too much clean.
Cj has really put a lot of love/time into this motor, should be awesome!

Looks incredible! Any ideas of the ETA, Ben?
Any day now.

CJ delrin bushings are awesome! :tup:
I can't wait to see if the mounts make a difference. Although I'm sure that Cj's custom motor will be pretty awesome also.

No, it means I will get my a$$ kicked at the Davis show. :P

If history is any indicator I will be late to Davis and stuck in the nose bleed section. Then both of us will be kicking tires while some really clean stock 850 will steal the show.

If your mounts are worn, like mine were, where I could feel the whole subframe moving in hard turns and dips on the hi-way, than YES it will make a BIG difference. One of the best handling/suspension parts I threw on my car. I've had them on my car for over a year with zero issues.

Mark!!! *shakes fist*

His car isn't stock anymore, but it still beats mine.

I need to win the autocross this year to win the tbrick vote. I think racing in the autocross helped me take second a few years ago.

Nice to know. Looking forward to feeling a tight subframe. When I did delrin on my control arms they started squeaking like crazy after about a year. I'm glad that hasn't happened with these. Has anybody had similar issues with the Eurosport poly control arm bushings? Considering these.

His car was incredibly clean. I know the last Davis show I got no love with all those stickers. But it is back to black now.

I'm looking forward to the autox this time since thunderhill is out.

Just like Raf's car; when you don't drive it, it stays very clean. :)

We can all agree Raf's Carbon R is a beautiful ride. But really, what's the point if I don't drive it everywhere? I'm planning on making the Ubermobile back into my DD.

Should be an awesome set up. CJ's craftsmanship and products are without peer. I did a double "shakes fists"...hahaha. Hopefully I will have a suprise or two at Davis this year. I take all the decals off my car for the show and put new ones on after. Some reason, the peeps dont like them. My car is hovering around 300k, so it has been a driver until recently. Not much use this year, but it also has been going through some changes. Can't wait to see what shows up this year. Mark

Raf's motor or trans got destroyed, right?

Cracked the block trying to go above 500 WHP.

When that happened he gave up on it since he never really drove the car.

Your car has ALWAYS beats mine. Your first show you had the car less than 2 weeks and beat me. The one time I actually placed in the show, your car still took 1st and I was 2nd.

My paint will always show its age even with an awesome detail job. 12 hours of bug kill on the drive down doesn't help either. :)

What? That is such a shame! His car was one of my favorites. I suppose over 500WHP is the ceiling without a sleeved block. I plan on pushing somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-350 whp. Hoping this can be a reliable setup to daily drive.

I can't believe you have that many miles, that's crazy your car was amazingly well kept last time I saw it. How long have you owned it?

Bought it in 2006. All original paint except hood, spoilers. Was my only car for years. My build motor should be done by Davis. Will include LSD, Drop in intercooler, K24, etc. I just finished a coil over set up. Thanks for the props on the car. Mark
