Thanks guys! It will be a lot more fun when we start putting stuff back IN the car.

We'll weigh it just before installing the cage, so we can see what we are working with.

Any word on the suspension setup? It's a shame you will not be mass producing the oil cooler...it's a hot ticket item.

Glass is out, and we are doing some final cleaning and scaping. Cage should be going in within 10 days. We have a bit more prep work than I anticipated. It's easier to work around the car, without the cage installed, so I'd like to bang out a few more things prior to that.

We may end up packaging a massive oil cooler kit for resale. Hang tight.

JRZ triples will be our coilover system.

Then once that is completed, it's a full engine build, and forced induction.


We should be done with phase one, and ready for track testing in Nov.

ZDAYZ yes, Dyno Yes, Street...no. This car is so far from street legal it's not even funny. But we actually do have a license plate and it is presently registered, and insured. So who knows....lets see how it looks first.

I may send you a triple Carbonetics clutch for the cause. I may go back to SPEC.

The 370Z uses that internal slave, and the clutch/flywheel are completely different.

Does the car still have a full exhaust? Does it start and still have A/C, etc.? Does it have any brakes (rotors, calipers, etc.)?
