Fenris: We are in San Diego, a bit too far from where you are. MagikDragon: I will look at your proposal in the AM. But yes, cash is king in Time Attack! In the first two Redline events of the year, i handed out $800 in prize money. I might make it out to VIR Oct 6th and 7th with our S14 Silvia. I'm going to try really hard to make it out there,

Sean, seems like everything else for the engine that I ordered is going to be in Boston by the time I get back. I´m not quite sure what´s waiting for me for stuff I have to do when i get back but I´m going to try to get up there on sunday at some point if at all possible and start putting the engine together. Shoot me an e-mail if you need anything else.

We actually have not released the S13 sunroof delete or the roof replacement. But that should be very soon. I am the primary mold maker, and i lost about 2 months of productivity after my 11 year old Dog passed away in May. I couldn't really work on anything. But things are back to nornal now.

Sorry no i don't. I was just going over my schedule for November, and i just realized that i have to be with our 350 Z team for Super Lap Battle at ButtonWillow on the 7th. We qualified the car at Willow Springs last month for that Time Attack. Then we head north the next day to Laguna Seca for the Redline Time Attack finals which is a 3 day event from the 9th to the 11th. So i have to have my car loaded up and go straight to Super Lap. Redline wants us to head to Laguna Seca moreso because this is their year end event with a ton of media etc. So my car has to be there without question.

Got it, well... my plans were to trade in my Frontier for the Titan and a new enclosed trailer in late October. I might try to do this sooner, but damn! This scheduling is easier said than done

I am working double time right now to stay on top of my work so that i can make it out there in October. Since it is a major drive for me, i really have to plan things to a T. So i do need to get this new truck and trailer before that. I can't say for sure if the Z will be going, but my car is coming with me if i do make it out.

Well guys there has been alot of progress going on with this car in the last few weeks, the rollcage is done, engine is taking shape, turbo was ordered, and suspension was ordered. If Mark can get his act together and get the photos loaded you would be able to see what we've been up to. We need lots of parts and if anyone has them at a reasonable price that would be greatly appriciated!!

Hey man hope the projects going well. I ordered one of the 9 turbos from Joe in the group buy. Any word on the ETA? I have a used ARC fmic, but it's for an s14 chassis. I'd be willing to let it go cheap to a good cause. The retail new is like $1700 us. Also have a turbo dump pipe that I'm not using. Not sure if they would be of any use to you. LMK as I can email you pics if you want.

Hey Justin, That clutch is awesome and looks amazingly well built. I know there were a few questions about exact specs on the clutch when we got it from a member or two that were beyond our knowledge.

Now I just need to get off my a** and get last weeks work pics up before this weeks get posted.
