If I have to ship my car to Italy to fine you I will. ...... Dont worry Tim, I will find you. !!!!

 

You guys need to go rep for FP and Z/G community on the Nurburgring.

 

Wonder how much that shipping bill would be.

 

Too much. But what an experience it would be to drive your own car on the Nordschleife.

 

yeah i will definitely be looking in to this. I wonder how much it would cost to drive on the track? luckily my car is getting shipped free by the Army. I hear that from Vicenza you can see the Alps so I imagine some good driving is not far away.

 

who needs a little runway when ya have the autobahn? Come over anytime you want though, free place to stay.

 

I would say around 5K to 7K.....it cost me around 5K in 2002 to ship a car to England....so i am sure its a little more now.

 

 

wow I didn't realize it was that much. I had considered leaving my car at Forged for a while for a motor build and then having it shipped over when completed, but damn that amount makes it not even worth it.

 

I should have a link for you guys soon!

 

Hey I just realized that I never shared the cause of the oil filter popping off. Take a look at the attached pic. It compares my current Mocal adapter threads (in gold) with the one I was running originally (in silver, which failed). Both are supposedly 20 mm. The silver is not as beefy and definitely smaller. I supplied this part to Sharif - saved myself $30 over the Greddy . Just another reason not to use customer supplied parts. Now I have the Mocal and Greddy adapters in series - rock solid (for sensors and oil cooler). The Greddy and Mocal threads are identical. That generic silver one I got from Summit Racing! grrrr.

EDIT: Sorry for the O/T Dil, but it's all related to you, since its about your event bro!

 

it is amazing how such a small/cheap part can ring a high performance/expensive machine to a halt in a hurry. Glad to see you discovered the cause.

 

Very nice, can't wait for my turn!!!!!!!!!!

 

For those that didn't believe that run, heres some more supporting evidence.

Now do you understand???

 

Ha ha - no worries Dil - that Z06 is something special for sure... I can't believe the whp rating either - just like everyone else on that board. Re-dyno!!!

 

man you got ripped then...today it cost $1300 to ship to England...to Italy its about $2k...from miami

 

The price I paid gave me my own container and was shipped out the next day to arrive on a set schedule. It did not sit at the port for weeks waiting for a spot. Just like trucking a car from TX to GA. You can pay $600 open transport or $1300 close transport.

You get what you pay for....

 

so... what's the dil-io? (pardon the pun). quickly skimmed through the thread.. is the car running awesome now?

 

Car runs pretty good, has small issues with the tunes. But that will all be taken care off this weekend, I am going to Forged again so Sharif can re-tune.

I would also like to add more fuel and increase boost, but I need a solution for the fuel pump, and am not fully sold on the cjm product.
