Labor(ing) Day Weekend!

Labor Day Weekend is upon us and rather than take a 4 day vacation like most people (lucky!) we will be doing some hard labor!

The Fall Nationals Imstar event at MIR (Maryland International Raceway) is just 1 week away and that means it is serious crunch time here at NRG Tech. We are taking Miller's civic down to compete on Sunday, however, we've decided to drive down to Southern Maryland on Friday night and try to relax before the race. So that leaves us with EXACTLY 7 days to get the car in tip-top running order.

Yesterday Miller finished assembling and installing his new PPG Bseries dogbox tranny! NRG Tech are direct dealers for PPG/Bullhead Gears and we are proud to run a quality tranny such as theirs in our car. (Want more info on PPG trannys and Bullhead Gears products? Drop us a line at 631-243-6674 or write to Miller@nrgtechparts.com) Later today we will be "street tuning" the car with shift cut and ironing out any minor hiccups.

We will also be changing the fuel system a bit. About 3 weeks ago at Honda Day we realized that we were at 99/100% duty cycle going through the traps. That day the temperature was in the scorching high 80s/low 90s. Now, with the temperature on the decline the car will begin to make even more power, therefore we will need more fuel. And while we're on the subject of fuel... check out the NRG Tech Fuel Cell! http://www.nrgtechparts.com/nrg_tech/nrg_tech_fuel_cell/10023/i-273793.aspx

Updated pictures of the car will be posted over the weekend so keep checking back! We hope everyone has a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!
