Tricky... The holes that bolt the crash bar replacement were powedercoated over too much resulting in some grinding to be able to work. Otherwise it was pretty straightforward. Just needs more structural integrity so I bought some steel cables to make it stronger.

It's a process.... I had to cut about 5 times... never could get the size right and It just makes me sad to see two huge holes in the bumper. But whatever. Race car! You cant see them anyway with those massive mounts in the way

Just perfect bro! the Z looks in the point!

makes me want a damn GT wing soo bad

BTW im going to send you a PM asking some tips for the power steering fluid change that im going to do it this weekend

EZT · 02-04-2016, 07:17 PM

Not a big fan of huge wings, but I see you're tracking it now so major props. Car looks great!

SOHO Motorsports to the rescue! I called Nick on Friday of last week and told him that I needed an exhaust in time for the 20th when I return to the track. He had this exhaust made and sent to me by today! Seriously can not thank him enough for doing this for me. If I had run again with my exhaust I would melt more than my 4th brake light off. I still need to order myself a y-pipe but otherwise she sounds so good!

While speaking of the track.. I did some standard preparation and the car is very much ready. I didn't have anything to fix besides swap out the power steering fluid for some Redline ATF.
