    There was a Picchio a while back for sale for pretty cheap, the old Martini one. I always liked them, pretty cool cars. I wish Grand Am still had SRP classes versus DP to give us some variety.

    ^ Same here. Coincidentally this SRP car was figuratively "stolen" for only 40K USD before restoration began.

    Impressive line of cars. I'm looking forwarded to seeing more from you!

    The S67 returns tomorrow! The newly built motor will be arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to get this thing back out. Completely upgraded brakes, made a new CF bumper and hood. They'll be painted to match the hood. I worked on the roll/harness bar and a few more other goodies to come along soon.

    Masareti:
    Just wanted to take a few pics. We just did an exhaust.



    Carbon-Kevlar Splitter
    The company we're making this for is now wanting to do Carbon Kevlar instead! Wish I could reveal who and what it's for but it's still under wraps

    This is all done at where I work. The school I go to focuses more on dirt track stuff and NASCAR but I'm like road racing. Great school and all but Trinity has been the real classroom. I work here as well. Not my shop. Anyways here's some more updates.

    Dinan S67 Z3 M Coupe
    We finished up the carbon hood and bumper and painted/installed.


























    Chevy SSR Supercharger install
    Not really anything big. A friend of the boss wanted a super charger installed so I snapped a few pics.


















    Randoms(stuff around the shop:




    Video Zach put together of our kart trip last year. We're getting back into it pretty heavy.

    UPDATE:
    One Lap S62 Z3 M Coupe:
    We drove the car 4 hours to Gingerman Raceway for some test and tune. Mostly focused on traction control and ABS with some fine tuning on the engine as well. The new motors output is more than the old Dinan S62 at about +50HP and 500 RPMS less. We scaled the car and got set up for the track. The car has awesome balance (3rd picture from the top includes driver weight) and handles like a mad man. Even with the short wheel base we're fairly surprised at how well she did.

    Update:

    Did testing at Mid-Ohio on Thursday in the Carbon M Coupe, and SRP II car. We tested a paddle shift system as a replacement for the manual lever on the Picchio. Didn't work out to our liking. The Solenoid didn't have the power to get in car above about 8K RPM. So it's day was cut short.

    Moving on to the BMW we wanted to test the ABS, traction control, and overall handling of the car. Excellent day all around and the PS2's handled very well for street tires. Had two corvettes crash through out the day and 104 degree track temps.
