NCRC will be there next weekend (July 9-10), $125 per day. There is still time this weekend to complete the break-in! (or, you could do it at Thunderhill on Kevin's dyno at MCE! heh heh)

I never have any time or money to work on the FB. Mostly money though, I could find some time here and there but now it's so damn hot in my garage I don't really want to be out there anyways.

Blew a hole in my thermostat cover neck & broke the RF swaybar mount bracket at the track. Note the end link is bent as well. (The glob of high temp epoxy and clamp on the Tstat neck is due to repair work done on a previous track day.)

datsun fun

I had some fun driving on a long oil slick, due to a stock car blowing up on the first lap of the race. I managed to dial some numbers and keep it on the track, helping to get rid of the Datsun charging up behind me.

Been driving my car a lot this summer. I need to install my AC soon. I'm also considering selling my car.

Anyone interested in buying 1995 chassis 496 out of 499?

A/C = necessity.
And did you find a better chassis or something man? You had a sick build planned out.

No this car is great and the build is basicaly finished. I have between two and three grand in the stereo system, jdm RZ Racaros, discontinued Volk SE37k's, LS2 out of a 06 vette, T56 out of a 06 GTO, ford 8.8 rear end out of a 04 cobra. I have the upgraded axles that cost over $1500 alone. I have over 3k in the rear end. Full wire tuck in the engine bay. I have put over 20k into it over the last two years. I'll post up some pics for you guys.

I have just been think about starting a small car shop and might want to build a wide body FD with a turbod LS3 making at the very least 900whp. I just don't want to be cutting up the body on the third to last FD in America.
