Well, I threw my back out again yesterday... Although I honestly can't tell you how it happened. Which is really annoying because just 3 days ago I made the comment that I haven't felt so good and healthy in years. :( In any case I am now laid up in bed again and if history is any indication, the event will probably last about 4 days to one week. What a bummer.

Ok, well Im not going to let it get me down too much. I am using this down time to do research on my next drivetrain/engine package. I have been struggling with the thought of la Bala being dismissed as a simple little car that yes, looks great, and yes performs adequately, but doesn't really spark the imagination or stir the soul with respect to the power arena. I know that the car will be a great performer with the 4AGE, but the majority of the "what-if" emails that I receive are powerplant related.

WELL... I hereby give notice that the next iteration on la Bala will be powered by, not one, but two 600cc bike engines!

1,200cc's - 13,000RPM - 200Hp - 80Lb/ft torque - dual 6 speed sequential gearbox - electric reverse - Torsen LSD differential - 1,200Lbs total weight
