Welcome to the New Website!
We've been keeping ourselves busy the past few months working out the new website layout. Probably the most useful new feature (along with the updated styling!) is the new Downloads area. We encourage everyone looking for tuned maps to check that out - there'll also be complete msq files available for download for the cars listed, in the near future. Also, keep an eye out for wiring diagrams there, as we plan to release some of those as well. And, as always, feel free to email us if you're looking for something specific, there's a chance we just might have it! In other news, there's been a few photo updates to the 16v turbo project - look for a more indepth update at the end of August - as well as a new photo gallery with updated pictures of our previous Supercharged Miata Project.
Photo Updates
There's been some recent updates to the photo gallery, including a photo taking trip to the Lynden Truck and Tractor Pull, and some photo coverage of the Western Washington University Formula SAE Practice on May 5th. We also put together a small shoot with the recently acquired Mazda 323 GTX and the '84 GTI listed in our Customer Cars gallery.
DemonRally.com
We've partnered up with the DemonRally.com guys to tune and set up their MegaSquirt systems. We're excited to be working with them for the rest of this rally season, and for some of their upcoming projects. Stop by their site for all of the latest happenings with their rally Rabbit, and some awesome stage rally photography. Also on the rally front, we're still waiting for Adam Crane's AE86 to be put back together from its last competition outing, so we can get our hands dirty again with his MegaSquirt setup - we'll post updates on that as we make progress. The 16v turbo GTI is waiting for some more fab work to be complete so we can wrap up the engine build. In the meantime there's nothing exciting to photograph - but we'll be posting pictures as soon as all of the parts are back and assembled.
The Latest
The Toyota rally car project is still under development, as the car is still being actively used for rally we are doing our best to work around that schedule. For Ġ08 weĠre also planning on giving the site layout some updates, including adding a detailed help section and wiring diagrams specific to Spitfire built MegaSquirts. Look for these updates, as well as some more pictures of the continuing 16v turbo project, soon!
Turbo GTI Photo Update
There's a short photo update on the current state of our 16v turbo GTI - slowly working its way back toward being a functioning car, as the list of upgrades continues to grow exponentially. We've also just started the ball rolling on a MegaSquirt installation into a local Northwest region Toyota rally car. Stay tuned for more details on that as the project unfolds, and plenty of pictures from the dirt slinging that will ensue!

Project Photos and The New Shop Space
There's a short photo update in the Customer Gallery of our most recent MegaSquirt install. The car this time around was a '94 Miata with a 2000 engine and the stock ECU completely removed. On the shop space front, we're slowly moving into our new garage and plan to have it fully operational by month's end. Stay tuned!
Formula SAE Practice
We've posted some pictures from Viking 38 practicing in Bremerton this weekend in the Racing Gallery. The weather turned pretty wet by the end of the day, but some of the rain shots came out. We'll try to get some video and sound clips of the car in action at the next practice day.
A New Location, a Completed Project, and Stickers!
Over the past few weeks we've kept busy finishing Chris's 16v Scirocco. With that project nearing completion, we took it upon ourselves to find a supplier for some Spitfire swag. We're working with ProGraphics of Bellingham, WA to get some Spitfire stickers and logo bits made up. In other news, Spitfire should be moving to a new home and setting up shop at a much roomier location within the next month. Stay tuned for more details.
