first raceday with my first gas car today - been heavily into electric for last 8 years so i'm only new to the petrol head side of things...

i was impressed with how the sirio went. i bought the s12-tup evo2 for the team magic g4 i also bought - and i was really impressed with the performance! was keeping up with a highly modified NovaMega in strightline speed and through the infield, when i got used to driving it hehe talk about balls and all i was doing was driving not really pushing it too hard.

i am seriously thinking of buying the 3port turbo version of the sirio for the state and nationals where 5ports are not legal to run yet as far as i know yet...

is there anything i should do etc to keep the motor in good condition - i would have put at least 10 to 12 tanks through it now, with the first just idle then 2 just putting around driveway slowerly and 3 on and off power for short bursts around local track.

it was mentioned by a local guru that i should buy another conrod now the motor is 'run' in and replace the plug now as any fillings etc from breakin can get caught in plug and can cause damage.. damn i'm glad i dont need to use my screwdriver rarly to unlock her anymore, that was a biach...

where is the best place to buy sirio parts and accessories? ie. piston & liners, plugs yada yada at a good price... seems to be a hard brand to get usefull information and parts for from the looks i have done on the net so far.

any help is appreciated
