I'll ask him for more details and I'll post an update

Just wanted to see if you ever found out how exactly your mechanic did it, I’m tired of banging my knees into the steering wheel

I came across some of your awesome videos on YT some weeks ago when looking for ideas. Great driving and that build is amazing!

Also sharing radiator update.

After terrible experience with CSF, which only lasted about 1 year before it was blocked with fluid and only 50% of the surface area of radiator was actually working, I upgrade my rad to custom one. It was made in Poland and so far it has been extremely effective. I also made A/C unit a little smaller to make the rad even more effective.

In max attack mode, water stays at incredible 85°C/185°F. That results in engine oil also being much cooler. It's on different league to CSF or OEM. Here is an onboard with temp gauges:

I want to copy your cooling setup. I want to do boost at some point. I wonder how well those ducts would work with a bunch of intercooler piping.

One of my friends with turbo 370Z copied my set up. Here is how it turned out. He did it over the winter so it's not yet been properly tested.

That's my car-build and i'm gonna to test it on the track during the year.
These vent's are not appropriate from the air-flow perspective (inlets in bumper should cover 33% of the cooler to be efficient). My plan is to test it first, then adjust if needed (it's easier to cut another hole than to remove it :P)

Impressive, most impressive car and build you've got there. I can't wait to watch your Youtube racing videos. Thanks for sharing my friend, very nice car.

ltullos · 04-25-2023, 11:27 PM

Congrats on accomplishing such an uncompromising fabulous build as well as your driving. Truly impressive!

Averying · 04-26-2023, 06:53 AM

What he said^

The Z seems like an incredible build so far, and your driving looks crazy impressive through a YouTube video at least! Lol. The control over the car as it gets “squirrelly” is incredible

Wow came across this randomly on YouTube and then the link to your build. Don’t know how I never saw this one on here before but this is one impressive build. Your driving is equally impressive and staying with the new C8 video if you were boosted I can’t even imagine how quick you’d be.

Thanks. Yeah, power is the next step for sure, now that I've got the handling sorted. I'll tackle it after this season's over, but I'm still not sure which way to go. My ultimate goal is to switch to a beefed-up naturally aspirated engine, like a 6.2 AMG with a dry sump setup. Once I'm done with driving for the year, I'll start thinking about how to make that happen. I'm steering clear of the forced induction route because my main gig is keeping the car reliable and squeezing every ounce of seat time I can.

Sounds like an LS3 build to come.

Also, I have to say you have a great build. Also, your driving on your youtube channel is awesome, massive respect for everything you do with the car and how you built it. Also, I love the philosophy behind it. Looking forward to your updates.
