It was the main circuit ... brakes didn't work out like I had hoped ... made a thread in Track section about that.

It was pretty cool on Saturday there were two 370's and three 350's ... all very sharp looking cars.

Damn, I wish I could have made it. Looks like you still had fun though minus the brake issue

I was hoping you were coming...but when it got time to go the meeting I figured you were not coming. Would have made 6 Z's there I bet that would have been a first !

Well you can blame NASA's shitty communication for that.

I'm not sure why they are like that ... you would think they would be all over "new blood" to grow themselves.

They were quick to cancel, did that the same day I sent my first e-mail

Been awhile since I posted to the old journal ...

The car is pretty much dedicated to fund raising efforts for Lung Cancer research these days ... we learned alot last year. Fund raising is a tough racket no matter the cause. Hoping 2013 is a kinder year. The car does a great job of getting us attention, and this year will be even better.

Anyway, we added a prototype Kinetix intake manifold ... only three were ever made. Might make a few HP, might lose a few HP ... but it sure looks good in the engine bay either way. I am hoping that someday, UPREV will figure out the VVEL table and if and when that happens, this intake manifold will stand a good chance of showing respectable gains. In the meantime, it can just sit in there and look shiny.

Had to hand make some cork and rubber gaskets for both throttle body and the lower plenum points ... had never done that before it was kind of fun.

Out with the old ...

... and in with the new.

We added a small custom decal to the backside of the plenum that you can only see if you look between the hood when it is open and the front windshield it says "THE POLISHED TURD".

Can't get a decent cell phone picture of it, it is hard to see.

Looking good Craig

Nice!

Strut tower brace back on ... pulled out the CAI heat shields and wrapped them in aerospace quality gold foil from Enjuku Racing ... keep some heat away from there anyway, and it adds a nice touch.

Also got most of the Z-1 Motorsports Silicon hoses on ... and the hood struts as well. Engine bay is getting there slowly but surely.

Hope so, but have some other stuff in the works for April so might not fit schedule wise. Saving most of my pennies to try to do Znationals and that track day in October and then Sebring with Chin in November.

Nice, that sounds like a lot of fun. I'll still be trying to beat your lap time
