Car looks extremely nice, despite poor quality of video and that was a helluva run without slicks. You got to video that car more because that's what the CA community lacks a lot of and that's video footage of members cars performing.

Hopefully on April 3rd, I'll have the sentra back up and running. The stock RWD engine that was in the car had oil pump failure and kinda dinged-up the crank. I have since installed a new crank into the block and will slowly, but surely reassemble and try and have it ready for next month. I got a brand new suspension, a brand new engine with a few beef-ups in it, so i'll be looking for some good track time and footage. Keep up the good work man and keep the video coming in.

At least you're consistent and that in itself is extremely important. My day at the track was a miserable one, but again, a time for learning as well. The engine did the same thing as before which tells me this engine needs to go to a machine shop or don't like ceramic clutches. Off to the machine shop to morrow to get yet another crank, another oil pump, mains and rods, line bored, as well as balanced.

When are you going to toss on some slicks? Look forward to your response.
