Yea the water pumps has plastic propellers and they would just explode after a while. I have to make sure its metal my buddy wasnt sure if it was or not.

Ill tell you one thing.. it aint no z haha. my buddy came for a ride and he goes get on it and i was embarrased to do it car feels like a boat right now but i think the front shocks are blown or something. doesnt bounce around but it has sooooo much body roll. needs a lot of work to get it track ready.

I HAVE to go to the Glen next year, it was such a fun track. Chris are you going to the Glen through NASA or someone else?

I will be there with COMSCC.

I have my eye on beating the class track record. 1.5 seconds to go.

i cant believe how fast you and your car are. I posted that thread a while back with my two buddies w the GTR and GT3 RS and thats the times they were posting. My times were crap

Does COMSCC require a racing licence?

No license required. They will put an instructor in the car with you for most of a day and then sign you off to solo for the remainder of that event and to time trial the next day. Licensed drivers don't get instructors.

Got little bits of the BMW. Replaced bother front lower control arms.

Had to get rid of the nitrous. Finally got it out. Had to plug up some holes and the tee in the fuel line. Now that I have the tee I'll run a fuel pressure gauge.

Then went onto the sweet system that was in the car. Here's some pics of my nightmare







He was so kind to great stuff all the boards in.....








How it's sits right now


Tow hook on



Picked up some Aero Catch hood pins. Looks SICK!!








Let me know what u think. just a draft. Might change it

Nice job cleaning up the mess in the trunk.

I think your paint job will look good, maybe a matching hood stripe to match? Here's an example.

I like that. I'm still up in the air about it. Part of me wants to do something crazier than the Z. Then part of me wants to do it simple. Well see, I'm usually not happy with simple lol

Sounds like unless you are seriously skilled it pays NOT to have a license.

ChrisSlicks

This is actually true. They recommend you for a license, however you can decline. If you are visiting a lot of new tracks then that is the smart thing to do as you will learn the track a lot faster with an instructor in the passenger seat. As a licensed driver if you are friendly with the instructors then you might be able to convince one to go out with you for half a session if they aren't over worked, but if they already have a couple of students then they may not have a lot of spare time.

I couldn't take looking at the parts on my couch so last night was a warm night (33*) so I started on some things.



Mainly got everything apart and ready to put the new back in. Got the water pump in and tonight I'll pull off the power steering line so I can swap that.

Some half *** pictures (when I'm working I don't think of taking pictures haha)

Stuff out. (ignore the crap welding)


Power steering leak


My dad making me stuff all my parts into a 5'x5' square


The new stuffs




Had a second idea for the wrap bc it's been so cold I could work on the car. More of a fancy one.
