Probably would be smarter to park off away form other cars. I know I'd be pretty pissed to come to my car and find someone working on his car like that next to mine.

tony_theturtle

probably not upsetting anyone considering both cars next to the z belong to me. But thanks for for the advised brother

Tony, what is your ultimate goal for the car?

tony_theturtle

Lighten up the car as much as possible. Get some decent 1/4 mile times and eventually try a track day or two. Car currently has intake mani spacer, test pipes, exhaust, jewelry flywheel and clutch, and 100 shot

Like 100lbs gone and car looks like hell, might be worth it for a dedicated track rig. But hobbies are good and removing things is funner then adding... And cheaper

tony_theturtle

No worries man, cars just getting started. Not concerned with looking good, just going fast.

Haha well the channel isn't 100% up to date. I have like 4 episodes done. Pretty much pulled and replaced most if not all of the cancer and some other basic maintenance but am just too dam lazy to cut, clip and edit the footage for it. That takes almost as much time and effort as the freakin repairs.
