Nike has left for a new adventure as a spec racer!

This is nameless , nike's replacement.

'97 PEP, bought with only 32000 miles

Wheels were 17x7 Ace Formulas, shod with 205/40 Federal 595's (left). Not that bad, but 17's are just plain wrong on an NA. Replaced with 15" Slipstreams & es100's (right)

This shows the NB windblocker in behind the HDX2. The windblocker had to be moved aft to fit with the rollbar, or for that matter with the NA 1.8 cockpit brace. Pry off the windblocker's end caps, unbolt the brackets, and flip them side to side, so they extend forward instead of aft. Some trimming of a plastic piece on each side is needed, but that will be hidden when you put the end caps back on. Bolt it in using the original Tenex fasteners.

Finally got around to installing the Protege camcover I had gotten for nike . But, the cam cover was swapped back to stock for the engine swap. What engine swap, you say? Well, the one that followed the oil pump failure. Got a fresh crate '94 motor, hopefully I'll have better luck than with the other '97 engines I've had.  Naturally, I added a pre-95 real Oil Pressure Gauge.  Never got around to re-installing the cam cover, eventually sold it.

Still evolving.  The GV air dam shown shattered, and has been replaced with an OEM.  Curiously, it does not ft as well as the GV.

The Ongaro horn.  We're near the water, so it's appropiate. 

And finally got around to the NACA duct.  Have not done an airbox yet.

And went back to a Racing Beat intake.  Managed to get the Ongaro horn back in.  Still thinking of a cold box...
