Nice, looks like a racecar already!

wh1te370z 07-20-2011 10:08 AM

haha thanks! this is what happens when you uncle, grandfather, mom, and dad all do/did signs. you tend to go overboard with anything you do.

Example. Im gona bring my car to the track.... Now i have to wrap it. :bowrofl:

This was my first time at a track and im totaly hooked. I want to either buy a car and race that next year or buy a beater and race the z. But i got a while to decide that.

how do you like your z1 25row oil cooler? im thinking about getting this! does the temp stay around 220ish?

ChrisSlicks 07-21-2011 11:07 PM

Car looked great arriving on that rig! Going to be at NJMP August 1st and 2nd with COMSCC, would be great to see another 370 there.

tonythetiger 07-23-2011 11:14 PM

At the poconos it was about 85-90 and the hottest my oil got was around 230-240... I might upgrade to a bigger one next year but you shouldnt have a problem with it. Driving around on the road when it was 90 w/o the oil cooler the oil was 220. w the cooler i havnt seen it go over 190 w the cooler and thats w some fun driving.

i wouldnt call them issues but, you do have to drill a hole to hold the oil cooler up. But its right behind the front support so u have to take that off. not a big deal its just 8 bolts. The other thing is the bolts that hold the cooler on on the bottom you have to kinda play with it to get the holes to line up. but over all it wasnt that hard. It took me about an hour and a half, but about 45 min was me trying to find tools in my dads garage. what gargage dopesnt have an adjustable wrench? lol

Maybe you're thinking of Monticello? That track is now officially closed to the majority of clubs, members only (plus guests). Base membership was just raised to $30K, gold membership is $125K.

NJMP on the other hand went bankrupt but they are still operating for now.

Elvis@Vossen 07-25-2011 02:02 PM

I like the wrap, good job!
