Default It's Time to build the Motor

Okay guys and girls. Now that the bodywork is all done it's time to make the Z go as fast as it looks. I will do my best to keep this post up to date with new pictures and information, as I did with the bodywork. The owner of Light Speed Performance will also be updating you with what he is doing as well. Feel free to ask him any questions about the build as we move along. He would be better to ask the questions to then me because well that’s what he does. hehe If you have not been following the body work here is a link you can go to: The Start of my Widebody

I will post a list of what we plan to do to the motor very soon.

Thanks
Chris

As awesome looking as your car is, and with the time spent on it, I have no doubt that this will be one Z that will be the Z to be.
Happy modding!

OK guys the base dyno will be run this weekend. I will have picture of the run. Now remember this is a stock motor. There will be no big numbers at this time.

mazoo- I have been following your car from your first post... and I truley believe that it is the most beutiful Z I have seen yet. It is absolutly gorgeous. I had to sell my 350ZR in sept. so I could go back to college full time and looking at your relly makes me miss mine alot... I keep thinking about all the things I would have like to have done to it... and you have taken those things and pretty much done them to yours... I truly envy you... I wish I could see it in person, but I'm way up here in MA... good luck with the engine build - mike

Hey Mazzoo, keep in mind that next year around April/May of 2005 we are having a huge Z meet at Englishtown Raceway in NJ. Maybe you can make it out to that? Keep your eyes posted for info coming up for next year.
