jon. take off the sway bar, take off the intake, then go from there. there isnt much working space, but its just enough. shouldnt take more then 1hr with the right tools.
there so much less prep work to do when your not running nitrous. all i gotta do is put the mickey thompsons on. jason, is your nitrous system working?

I plan to be at the track around 5 ish. Hope to get three good runs in. I plan to take the first one easy to see how the super charger works at close to red line on the track.

Chadi lets hope it's working
I have to change my plugs tonight and bolt on my slicks. I will also go through the nitrous system as I have not used it since last fall. I may have to skip the oil change. Changing the plugs sucks!! There is zero room to work but a few extentions and lots of light it isn't that hard.

Lets call it about 2 hours!! I wanna kill the guy who designed that layout. What a pain in the *** to change out plugs. He must be related to the guy who designed the dipstick

Alright, its official I suck at Drag Racing. I know the car is fast but my best 1/4 was 14 flat. Mysunset was doing that stock. I eran against him twice last night and he got me both times. I bet if he was to drive my car it would do low 13s or high 12s. My reaction time is not good either. Oh well.

Nah Chadi can't drive a stick!! I could pulls low 13's in your car. My best run last night was 13.8 @ 109.8. I have to take my car somewhere to get the nitrous fixed. It works it just like surges! shuts on and off I am at a loss. Last night was fun. We will have to do it again with more people!!

i wasnt able to get anything better then a 13.9 @ 99mph all motor. i still think traction is a problem at milan. you can see the rubber from all the cars caked on the track when you pull up to race. it can cause some major wheel hop too. sad.
either way. it was fun. we gotta do it more often. next time ill have the bottle ready.
jason. sell that zex kit and get NX. its worth it. we can install it at my house.
oh and someone hit my car last night. i stopped off to eat with some friends and when i came out i noticed a HUGE chunk of paint missing off of my rear bumper. it was a car with white paint. dont ask how i know. $280 to fix if i take off the bumper and put it back on myself. anyone know of a better (cheaper) body shop?

Well got the sways installed at dick scott with my oil change. Total cost for the install = $0. Wow! $24.95 for the oil change.
I had them check my transmission because it has been hard to shift on the lower gears for a while. New Trans ordered and will be installed next week. I ordered the NISMO clutch because there will be no labor charge becasue of the Trans install. Maybe this is one of the reasons for my horrible times at the track (not).
If anyone is having problems, call Kyle at Dick Scott and tell them your problem. He can do it next week.
Zless, you said you were having issues? You could get it fixed before Zdayz (next week). I spoke with them about you and the syncro's going. It only takes them about three hours to do the job. All free!!!

Mike I wonder where you heard that
!! Chadi that totally sucks about getting the car hit. Have them fix the door too!! I am thinking the exact same thing! Sell my Zex kit and buy a NX or NOS kit. I may just sell the brain box. I am not exactly sure what to do! I am just frusturated with the whole thing.
