Viggen back from rebuild.

14 miles on rebuilt engine. I'll rev it up more after it's a little more broken in.

I destroyed the original transmission at Thunderhill last November. Besides the new transmission internals and normal wear items involved in any rebuild, I also got JE forged pistons+coating, aluminum flywheel, Spec carbon clutch, Quaife limited slip diff, and a hardened rear engine mount. Also had the internals balanced and the balance shafts disconnected.

This is the first time in around 4 years I've had someone else work on the car instead of doing it myself, but it was worth it. Most parts came from Taliaferro Imports, labor was done by Swedish Auto Factory in Santa Clara. Both are great to work with.
