Dragon 70 - Genesis

Its been quite a while since I was missing from the automotive scene and I thought I'd just drop by RPM Autoworks yesterday for a little update. Seeing the Dragon70 coming along sooo well just excites me and driving it will be, undoubtedly, a thrilling experience for the RWD noob. Lots of time had been spent waiting for custom built parts and foundry work, fabrication of parts and chassis work. The entire interior has been spruced up (note: black dashboard), ground down, and painted up. Wiring is complete and all that's left is the exhaust manifold which is expected to arrive by this weekend.

The Dragon70's Genesis is to be the spiritual successor and mechanical superior to my Pooh Project. I can't wait to see and hear it roar to life! *overwhelming excitement* Dragon70's old heart. We shall miss you for all the on-throttle maneouvres we've had. Also in the shop is another member of the Northern Touge family getting a new heart. It will also be Forced Inducted!
I should write up an article soon on Northern Touge and its force inducted members. I suspect most have gone past this route for gaining power. Most enthusiasts would tell ya nothing beats the high revving shrill and thrill of an NA all-motor, but one cannot deny the efficiency of the forced induction system.

The RSM sold earlier was also being installed (I guess I came at the right day), with instruction manual available and complete harness.
It was a cinch and installation and testing only took below an hour.
The meter was alive, well and took to inputs with great vigil.
Oh, it was a great evening to see all this going on. I retired home to some well deserved rest and relaxation.
