Damn Jeremy....I wanna deal the drugs you're dealing bro. hahahahaha. My wallet is in ICU already from all the little crap (nitrous, UTEC, headers, spacer). Looks perfect. It'll be a pain getting in and out of, but you'll get use to it in a couple weeks.....you might wanna put instructions on how to get in on the passenger side for all the hoes that will want a ride!!! hahaha.

Did you ever get a price on the unwelded cage? I'd like to install a 4 or 6 point in mine. My Z was supposed to be just a daily driver but seeing this makes me want to sell my 240sx drag car and build the Z..

BTW Got my fuel tap thanks .

i will call them tomorrow again on the price of the cage unwelded, they are hard to get ahold of and get prices back from.


nice julian, i saw that, i was driving my car on the street today, the clutch was holding just fine, of course i didnt boost over 12 psi and it broke loose my 265 BFG DRs in 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th, the front end raises up soooooo high it feels like the front tires are coming off the ground, then the steering gets all squirrely....


this will be fun this friday!!

Hey Jeremy,

Looking forward to your times on Friday.

Lets see if you can beat Julian's time I mean there has to be some kind of competition on here, since Bert's not running his down the track.

No competition here...Jeremys car is no longer a street car in my book..He cut half the interior structure away and has a fuel cell..Were as factory as they come, minus a spare tire and jack..

I'll be the competition guy, all factory but roll cage, otherwise I get kicked off the track, which means I'm heavier... as soon as my fuel system issue is finally solved MRC has a healthy west coast competition

Jeremy,

Just one word of advice. If you plan to only have one seat, for weight savings, you should put it on the driver's side.

Good luck on Friday!

Rob
