A pre-mature thank you ...

[JekylandHyde]

Hyde's only in the beginning phases of being torn apart for the winter,
but I am constantly amazed at how the MR2 community is rallying around this car.

Although this is way premature, as the work is just beginning, I
really want to thank those in the community that are kicking butt
on behalf of Hyde.

Also wanted to thank redblues, he also helped out a bunch.

Man, I hope I am not forgetting anyone ... if everything goes
according to plan, Hyde is going to be an entirely new beast
come April '06. There is a lot going on behind the scenes.

What are your end goals with Hyde for this make-over?

[JekylandHyde]

2006 winter Goals?

550 rwhp, 500-1000 faster spool, 1000 rpms added up top (85000 redline),
improved braking, improved suspension, improved aerodynamics, improved safety

... all with the expected results of:

*10.5s in the 1/4
*continued victories in SM2 at the hillclimbs
*entering the top 5 climbers in all classes (I was 8-10 in all of the events this year)
*1-mile Land Speed Record of 170+ mph
*set a few MR2 records on various road courses

With a few more mods to appease what the judges are looking for, you should enter in the next USCC!

[JekylandHyde]

stop, stop, stop ... I assume you are refering to thread on MR2OC.
Unless my sponsors want it and are paying to get me there, it's not happening.

I very much look forward to hearing about the mods you make as things progress this winter
