What to say. The time has come to share in pictures with the great re-build
 . Works it self are not finished yet and exact due date is not known as well (since as always something unexpected can pop up anytime). Everything has started in August 2010 after my Alpine road trip (also some pics here). I really wanted to say to my car decent good bye (before I leave it thousand miles from home in Italy) for many months. As time and money comes and goes things has changed a bit from the beginning but that is not important. Important is that everything is on the best way it should be now. I will share more with pics than with words because I know everyone likes pictures more than reading  ...Primary target = rebuild the engine In fact engine it self was not any bad. But it do not mean everything was mint with the car/engine (as can be seen in some pictures later).     Since my mechanic wolf_tm is super-precise person everything must be clean and perfect.           Almost everything in the engine was replaced by performance parts or new OEM parts.   Of course also clutch was replaced by more durable one and flywheel was skimmed and balanced.   So engine done... almost (done means "closed" ). To be continued...

My role is more "money-box" or "manager" that mechanic... According to Wolf my knowledge of rebuilding the engine is joky . QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Mar 25, 2011 - 4:27 PM) ...Out of curiousity, why are you running 5 MM less? it is no purpose... it is just a consequence I have wanted narrow tires (since ST205 is like tank w/o a chance to spin as you remember ) to lower price (the are cheper because they are more common) and lower consumption (less rolling-resistance force). So no point to have 5mm less diametr of wheel. It is just consequense of using more narrow tire on the same size of wheel (215/50 R16 vs 205/50 R16).Last news for today... here is one picture from mapping so...IT IS ALIVE!!!
