Default Bell Engineering

This past weekend I spent the evening enjoying drinks with a fellow car enthusiast, Corky Bell. This is a man who has shaken(shook?) Mickey Mantels hand, rubbed elbows with Andretti, McRae, and countless race legends, and is genuinley a nice guy, and knows alot of shit about performance, and boosted motors.
A good friend of my fathers as well. Anyway, business hasn't exactly been "booming" lately, but please consider getting in touch with Bell Engineering for your performance needs. They WILL treat you right. i am NOT getting paid to endorse him, as I said he is just a family friend whose shop could use a boost. Do it for the little guys. Thanks to all For more info, PM me.

I (and others) have been waiting for them to make their long-promised NC A-pillar guage mounts available. Tell him to make it happen, priced right, and he'll see plenty of sales.

Corky is well-respected in the Miata community, and the craftsmanship of their in-house mfg'd parts is very nice.

They need to parter w/ Joe @ Dynotronics/DPTune as well. His reflashing is taking sig. market share from the Xede, and they're in close proximity. I know Joe would be amenable to such a relationship, he said Bell didn't want to work w/ him.

It was overheating at cruising speed with the AC on.

I've owned a few copies of his books "Maximum Boost" and have given many copies for gifts. Everyone who read it loved it, and love his plain english speak. He should release another book with updated information. And he'd have me as a buyer

I dont know if he said anything to you about it, but he is actually in the process of building a proto type turbo kit for my s2000 as we speak, i will be over there this next week and we will be finishing things up. If all goes well, the kit will be for sale. He knows his stuff and has excellent workmanship, so i cant wait for it to be done. So if any of you guys are planning on going turbo this might be the one for you!
