This is my one-off dealer build by JN Automotive; which needed a bit more love (pronounced POWER).  So I decided to do a complete rebuild while keeping the modifications as low profile as possible and staying true to JN's Design Team.

 

*** New Hotness: Ceramic Sealed, Ported, Handbuild BHR motor on it's way to me! ***

*** 400 WHP here I come! ***

Working on the weekends; this has happened WAY too many times


At the Build the Track! Motorsports Show





Our "Working Parties" are kind of notorious in Hawaii (Turbo MR2; FD's; Corvettes; and rum FTW!).




And yes my SLOW car is a Mazdaspeed 6.
