Thanks! Hopefully I'll be back in here posting with useful updates in the next couple months... work/family is the focus right now - but I won't bore you all with that!

Cool footage. Thanks for sharing.

kind of have to ask after I saw some of your vids, whats parts did you use to get your engine to rev to 10.5k and what power are you putting out right now?

Oleg, this engine will not rev that high for sustainable operation... what you are seeing is my traqmate display that has not been calibrated properly... My car is set to redline at 7200

297whp, that is all

oleg · 06-10-2011, 11:53 PM

haha ok that makes more sense because i couldn't figure out how you can make it rev 3k above the stock redline. One more question, with all the weight reduction you did, did you ever figure out what weight your car is currently at?

3175 lbs with me in it + safety gear + 3/4 fuel... 200 less without driver / gear

starting to think about the Z again... still not sure when I'll get back out to the track but have a fresh battery and a few things on order

took some vid from my XOOM - thought I'd share for those of you that want to see specific aspects of the build

ChrisSlicks · 07-08-2011, 08:03 PM

Come on man, your 90 miles away from Sebring, time to hit that ****. Work killing you?

travisjb · 07-08-2011, 08:58 PM

well, it's not for lack of interest!

NASA FL 2011 Event Schedule | N.A.S.A. Florida

looks like my next opp'n with nasa fl is sep-3... if I'm not in china or wherever, I'll be going to this

ChrisSlicks · 07-09-2011, 07:14 AM

Actually looks like a fun track.

Hope so! reminds me a bit of the 'main course' at my old home track, firebird, in phoenix, az. big ars-straight, then some twisties to get back to s/f.

Unrelated... Working on a wicked home theater setup... may post some pics of that here at some point if ppl are interested. 110" curved screen, 3D, 11.2 surround!, setup for sim racing

ChrisSlicks · 07-10-2011, 07:33 AM

Very cool! I'm a bit of a home theater junkie as well but nothing that fancy!

The Canuck · 07-13-2011, 07:37 AM

Been following along, if its anything like what you did to the Z, it will definitely kick ***. Your theater sounds like it is going to be somewhat similar to one that I designed for a client. We did a 9.4 set up. All walls and ceiling were on either rubber bushings, or springs to help prevent sound transfer out of the room, and sound transfer into the room. Looking forward to seeing some photos of it.

ChrisSlicks · 07-13-2011, 09:32 AM

I did a music practice room and used drywall isolation clips/channel and double wall construction with false ceiling (the inside walls are not connected to the outside walls) and outside the room you could barely hear anything, it was quite remarkable. We added a small amount of sound deadening material inside the room just to prevent excessive reflection. It didn't cost much more to do it this way but it does take up an extra 6 inches of room on each side.

Update: GTM Stage 2 SC on the way

Initially, goal is to run it hopefuly just under 400whp with 100mm pulley... will set car up for NASA TTS

Stage 2 buys the motor mounts and option to bump up power more easily down the road

Goal is to have this all done by end of September
