Default My Car Is Gone!!!!!

HEHE

Seth@Sonic has my..

It's so sad I never give my Z to anyone..

But it's ok DEC 29th it will be mine again..

And 1000 miles later 450-500WHP will be mine..

Until Stage 2 is out then 600WHP will be mine..

Then me and Pun will be in the front of the line.

Well..... he'll be a little more "in" front..

Wow thats a quick turn in comparison to mine. Damn so tell me did you wear knee pads or just take the pain? Nah just kidding...

With my job and traveling you'll probably have 1000 miles before me since in 2 years onisland I have put 5000 miles or so on the z. Thats almost 6 months for me. I have 12 comp days comming to me so I will make several tours arround the island with a couple of oil changes for me. I figure a couple of trips arround the island and to the north shore should get me where I need to be. Or I can always do the short loop faster at night. H1 to poly to Kam to H3 and back to H1.

I see alot of late night driving in that loop. I figured after 9pm there shouldnt be any traffic so I can take an hour or 2 and do 2 or 3 laps a night plus the regular driving I should be there in less than a month. Or its 83.3 miles per day for 12 days with oil and filter changes at the 250, 500, and 1000 mile marks.

I want this so bad I can tast it... Oh never mind that was just a curry burp.

Seth said ur manifolds-n-stuff came in so I would expect ur car up and running soon. Yes I'm gonna try to have the break in done ASAP but not rushing.

I can put the car on jack stands and run some miles...lol

I hate turning my car into anyone cause I'm a wrench guy, as is my family ( I also had a bad experience on my former Prelude and got robbed of 5K and the guy closed shop and fled)but you seem to be having good luck so thats one of the big things that made me decide on it.

I am gonna do the rest of the work besides the motor swap and tuning myself since that fun I want only me to have lol


MORE TO COME, THE 350Z 500WHP+ CLUB IS OPENING SOON

Yeah the big hold up for my stuff was the stuff that was sent out. Thats realy not Seths or Sonics Fault, just part of the game of wanting specialty crap.Currious to see how the engine temos feal after the coating. Before you couldnt touch any of the IC piping or the manifold (which is sold so I'll be looking for a space or better plenum).

Yeah I like to wrench myself but my job isnt compatable with the wrench time and any one I've asked to help IN ANY WAY with the car has fuked it up from putting a foot through my auto sport, putting a tranny mounting bolt into a wrong hole (tranny now has a drain plug there), to this recent neglect. Over all its been a rough road.

Im putting together an oil cooler set up with a mocal sandwitch plate. I have to modify the bumper brace and mounts. And Im looking to get rid of the crappy bottles that Greddy sends with their kits. There are some pretty nice setups that summit racing has. Looking at a 1 liter bottle with a T fitting at the bottom for the windshield washer fluid, mounting the pumps and taking the feed off either side of the T.

My Garage is dedicated to my Z

We deffinetly need to meet up on day. Maybe we can work on some projects in my garage or something and save some cash. I have done everything there so far and its worked out pretty good. My buddy down the road even has a engine hoist.

If only they would let me Apoxy the deck....lol

Nice, Hopefully they release some new Plenum/ Intake options soon so we can make big power like the Supras. I fell sorry for all these Z owners with Built blocks capable of 1000WHP but no way to get the air in yet
