Springness!

Well we have had a bit of reprieve here in the ol' midwest. The weather was in the mid 60s and it was time to pull the cars out and stretch their legs a little. 

The Cosworth has affected the way the car starts a bit.  It was this way from day one. The diference being that the starter cranks for maybe a half second longer and when the engine comes alive it is more of an event than previous. The various noises all seem a bit louder and more abrupt than stock. This is not to say that there is a problem, just that there is a difference.

 After sitting for 6 weeks or so, the Blue Meany came to life in less than a second and purred like a lion. We then did a few laps around the storage unit, enough to kick most of the oxidation off of the rotors. I didn't dare risk going on the road because I still have my Ohlins shocks on and the finely machined aluminum is quite a wuss when "pitted" against road salt.

I also got my buddys red NC out of storage, dropped the top and proceded to do some uncommon top down February driving. It was fantastic.
