Don't forget clutch, guages, EBC, and all that fun stuff :D

Oh trust me. With the transporting it out to them it will run me around $800. Plus $1300 for a clutch, $1000 in gauges, the custom quad exhaust and other fun items. It will be around $17k is my best guess.

And completely worth it! I have a running total of just over $13.5k for the turbo setup (kit, gauges, clutch, tune, etc...) and exhaust.

Oh and they will be dropping another bomb about the turbos that they will be using as well. Wow.......

Your going GTX right?

Nope. I'll let them release that bit of info but it has to do with the GTR....

I will be selling a brand new in the box 34 row oil cooler with the high end hoses. I will also be selling the transmission cooler and the power steering cooler as well. Hit me up for the prices. Oh yeah and I have those berk test pipes as well.

haha paying for gauges must suck :icon17: I got the hookup from autometer directly.

Very impressive Jackson! Should we start calling you "Action Jackson"? :)

As many of you know I am involved with the Sports Car Club of America Road Rally Program. It's pretty simple. You are given step by step, turn by turn directions to get from point A to point B. This is very "low stress" on your cars as you will be driving the posted speed limits and the routes are on paved roads. The Saturday and Sunday Rallys are 2 separate events. You do not need to do both and you do NOT have to be a SCCA member BUT you must have a navigator. You do not have to have a "sports car"...drive a minivan if you want. This is a great family event. Hope to see you there!

hey tower, u gonna be staying in kc for a while now

Don't know. Just got finished in STL so I heard Oklahoma but not sure. The car will be gone within the next month or so :happydance:. My guess is I will not get it back until sometime around February.

Where is your car going?

California.....:tup:

Re. the SCCA road rallys, no special high tech equipment is needed. Besides a navigator you need a road worthy car with an accurate odometer. My personal experience is that a clipboard/writing tablet, pen, and stopwatch come in handy.

PSA:

Don't take cloverleafs off the highway as hard as u can with under 1/4 tank. u will become stranded.

that is all

ps, thanks Austin for the help

Yeah and the solution isn't cheap. Have to convert the car to a return style fuel system and add a surge tank. About a grand in total.

URGENT UPDATE!!! It has just come to my attention that Sunday's Rally is on unpaved roads!

(I guess I know what car I'll be driving Sunday!)

If my wife's schedule works out, I'll be doing the Saturday one.

Not on the Z right?...

only sunday's isn't on paved roads

Maybe the funnest Rally I've done was on unpaved (gravel) roads in the rain. My DD at the time was a Dodge Charger with AWD and, boy, did that come in handy. My car was a mess afterwards but, man, did we have fun!!

I read that the almost half of Saturday's spots are spoken for. Also, if you're considering bringing your under 18 yo kids, a waiver is required.

To register, just email Rich Bireta and tell him. You won't pay until you get there.

Any idea how long this will last on Saturday? I have to be headed out of town by 8p or so.

I believe about 4 pm BUT be sure to notice the finish line is in Council Grove, KS. C.G. is south and west of Topeka. According to google maps it about 2 hours from Kansas City.

U guys gonna make it out? we are on the fence

Doubtful. I would love to, but I need to be back in KC by 8 or so that night and will be gone from that Saturday night to the following Wednesday.

And hopefully my car is completely torn apart by then :excited:

I plan on talking to the wife tonight. We paid and were scheduled 2 years ago but I screwed up the the Sunday time and we missed it..........

When is Sasha sending you your kit?
I'm hoping to have mine in the mail to Tony by the first of the month but probably closer to mid November. Plus the new Zele rear shows up on Monday and then I'm off to Iowa/Minnesota.

All of the stuff that comes from US distributors shipped this week. He's probably a couple of weeks out on the rest. I'm guessing I have everything by the first or second week of Novemeber. Everyone else on the list backed out so its just me and he's gonna finish mine up and get it out as soon as possible so could be sooner. Fingers crossed.

Who in Kansas City has had their headlights modded? I am thinking about doing it but since my car is DD it'll be hard for me to find a time for it. I have looked into FlyRyde and ONEighty. Any preferences or suggestions?

ONEighty did a hell of a job with mine but one is starting to get foggy. If I had to do it again, I would do it myself. I did the lights on my 350 and it's not bad. You could even have a local body shop spray them.

Yeah, I was thinking about that but I want to add the LED rings plus some other things... I'm not great with wiring so I don't want to do it myself.

Then I would definitely recommend ONEighty. You are looking at 3 day shipping, 2 days in their hands, 3 days back. I think shipping was $40 each way.

Hmm, Okay. Doesn't ONEighty say that the lights will not fog or did i misread that?

Yeah, and they cover them under warranty for a year. I will probably send them back when my car is torn down in a couple of weeks. But I imagine I'm still on the hook for the shipping so I have to decide if it's worth it. It actually looks more like lense abrasion than fog. It's weird.

i may try and do mine myself if you are having issues with yours. something about baking my headlights makes me nervous

sums it up real well

It's not as bad as you think. I was terrified when I did it the first time, but just follow the DIY's and keep your eye on them. I've seen the same abrasion/fog thing in a set that was DIY as well though.

Haha, are you talking about my lights??? haha it is there barely but m3chhawk noticed it before even i did. I did my lights by myself as well and you can do it over a weekend starting friday night paint it and put it back together by sunday. Baking is the most terrifying part, but just put lens up in oven and you dont really have to worry about melting anything as long as it doesnt touch in the oven.
