Let me know if you guys have any questions,suggestions or find any errors.


Ken that fall rally is a bit expensive and I want to upgrade the brakes next

The summer one is the $$ one. Fall is a free drive just like the spring one. We never gave the 300zx tt a workout. At least the boys got some time to fix it up and prep it for the fall run.

What's in mind for brakes? E36 M3 or e46 3 series brakes in that 332ti next?

[thesk8nmidget]

you are a weeeee bit to far to help me build my car

but if by building you mean sending me your motor then im down!

Very nice build up and great looking car.

Im pretty sure those HIDs are 6000k from the green/blue tint they have. 5000k are slightly whiter and have a tint of blue. 4300k is OEM color temp for white. 3000k is acutally Yellow.

People working the corner can't see very well.

I need to upload the vids I have, I'll try to post them tonight.

That other Ti is my own, my girlfriend races it.

Wow.. that is an impressive 1/4 mile time.. I take it you have drag raced a lot before? If not, great reaction times for a street car..

To be honest I suck at drag racing. My friend Dave (who I have named the Stig) was responsible for that run.


I was able to take 2nd place in the AR (unlimited) class at this past Autocross while being a novice (2nd autocross ever)
