NorCal Community Chat Thread v. 5.0- 2011
 

Don't know why no one else started this yet ha ha =D It may be late but lets start off the OFFICIAL 2011 thread with some of your goals for the year!


Mine - Get some work done on my Subaru =D

Get a clean title FD with a rebuilt engine that is all stock

twin charge the FC with the Eaton M90 supercharger combined with the MP T70 turbo.

oh, and finally take a vacation this year to the Florida keys.

Oh ben I like the sound of that :-)

Plans; Heads, cam and see if it satisfies me. If not, forced induction through a heads, cam LS2. I'm thinking TC78 right now. But if I do that I think I will start over and strip this car down and put it on a rotisserie and repaint every inch of her.

Hopes; to be running 10's NA this year while still having perfect drivability and reliability.

Sell everything I own and move to a tropical island.

Successfully rebuild my engine and have it ruining

Start my harem.

Sell my Rx7. Get out of debt and become financially independent.

pass smog lol...then MAYBE, sell in the near future.

Also sounds amazing!

Good luck bro!


Vids bro!

I've had that idea in the back of my head before. Though its up there with my 6port turbo with functional aux ports. I'd love to see that beast though =D

Do it.

Good luck bro!

As much as it'll suck, and what other people say, that is the BEST choice. I mean sure if you find a way to keep it do it but priority should be getting out of debt.


A little addition to my plans, is taking it to autocross and doing some minor mods (Intake exhaust etc.)

Plan's -

Move into the newly found 16,000 square foot shop with 6 acre parking.

Get my 1973 240Z back together as well as my 1971 240Z using the part's from my newly aquired 3rd 1972 240Z.... Addicted much? :lol:

Aquire a Ferrari 348 to build and use as the Exotic Motorsports Garage promotional car.

Find a street bike for this summer... possibly an R1 :egrin:

Set everything up to be able to compete in the 2012 race season in the American Le Mans GT class with either our prototype V16 race car based on my business partner/mentor Cizetta V16 powered super car or a partnership with lotus and their new race car.



And the one thing that should be on everyone's list is to either win the lottery or somehow fall into a pile of money or gold.


Not in any particular order of course haha.

Nice goals there Apex

Apex,

I wanna clarify on your shop: Do you guys primary just work on Super Cars, Lambos, Ferrari etc... Or do you guys build kit cars,...?

Thanks


We work on Exotic / Super car's, no kit car's allowed in my shop :)
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Cizetta, Maserati, Porsche, etc...

I work on Z's and Rx-7's on the side too.

The 348 will be a modified promotional car for the shop to drive around and use as a "what we do" sort of thing.
Twin turbo V8 and some other goodies are my plans for it... Should be in the 480ish hp/trq area but completely reliable for daily driving, just in case you were wondering why I was building a Ferrari 348 haha.

my goal is to have 0 electrical problems with my seven.
have her sanded/primered/painted with new kit.
finish gettin the interior as JDM as possible.

oh and have more money than bill gates!

All of your goals sound really do-able.......................


Minus that last one.

Good luck!

Now that I finally got this Turbo II. Maybe I can find enough money to get rid of these klunky noises from my suspension, find a good person to rebuild my motor locally, and get a paintjob!

Hows the shop going man? How ya been? When I get back into the states we need to throw down a NorCal Meet man!


Sounds like a good plan of action. Bushings then replacing the struts and/or springs is always a good start.

It's going really good, just been really busy with all the different thing's i'm doing at once.

Definately need to do a huge NorCal meet when you get back, how are thing's over there?

[QUOTE=Apex944;10557801]Fantastic man! Been meaning to hit up a junkyard to look for parts but my job had me on standby all weekend.

Other than that, I may not be on mainland but this Island still has a lot to do! The best part (besides the views) is the food! So much amazing food here!

Nor cal meet has not been like how it use to be 5-6 years ago:(

Back when me and Zach set them up, ahhh those were the days!

yeap.. I agreed. I still remember that very first post you made back then that got everybody including Zack motivated to help escalated all the meets. Awesome bro:)

Well hurry up and get another Montego Blue FD and start organizing meet. lol.
