yeah, I took the motor out to clean it and paint it.. the velocity stacks you see are going bye bye.. just havent' got my new carb cleaners and stacks yet.. I've ordered some polished parts from Motorsport auto and I'll be putting that stuff on after the car comes back from the shop....

actually I painted it with some high temp paint.. it turned out really good haha.. it will last until I get it poweder coated... I'm about to get the hook up on powdercoating... your going to see this car at some major shows later this year... I got involved with some heavy hitters in the car show scene and a team wants an old school Z...so next week it goes to the body/paint shop and it's getting fixed and resprayed... same color, only it will be a clearcoat paint... I think I could have done a better job with the engine compartment though... I lacked funds to get the engine compartment painted the same color, so I had to sand and rattle can myself... all my friends think it turned out great, but I'm my worst critic... you work on a car as much as i've worked on this one, and you know every little nook and cranny.. But it will have to do until I get more sponsers or money.. haha

I also found that using to thick of oil in the carb cause it to stick as well..

Welcome good luck in the Z hunt...

Good luck on 'refreshing' the Z... I wish mine had only needed 'refreshing' hahah

well, I'm in the process of getting the Z repainted.. I've got my panasport rims and I just got done doing the engine bay and the engine... here are some pics.. now its off to get the dent repaired and car is getting repained..same color only with clear coat and better body work..

yeah, it was frustrating.... but i was told later that it was the Vette driver's first time out. everyone starts somewhere, just hate it when they start infront of me hahaha...they moved me to a faster group.. to bad my car didn't start the next day, never got to play with the faster drivers..

please, gotta sell these wheels...need the money... http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=1005&cat=9 if anyone is interested... call me, email me, or pm me... or its off to ebay for them...

I am now hahah

still using bored SU's

thanks but I live in Texas now.. do you have a number there??

thanks for the compliments on my driving... just an example that sometimes the best modification you can make to your car is learning how to drive it better.

yeah, he was an instructor showing me the lines... after that run, he passed me to solo, then recomended me for the intermediate group(yellow group)... Thedriversedge has 4 groups green, blue, yellow, red. BTW, I was on street tires and that was my second run of the event..I was still learning the line as well. I was going to video more, but I was saving space on my camera for the second day.. where I'd be faster and on Rcompound tires... only sunday didn't come, due to an ignition failure...so I only took video of 1, 25 min run..

actually the straight before I pasted him I ate him up...if you listen I had to let off...then I threw my hand in the air. hahah... well, I think it was his first time on a track

damn, it was working a minute ago...

you should be able to just click it and it'll play..

here's one with a corvette in my way at the track.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7685581114914110309

yeah, it's posted a view places...I checked it, and it worked fine

oh, forgot to mention I was on street tires hahahah... I was using them to learn the line... I was going to switch to my R compounds the next day (only had about a day left on em) but my coil went bad, and I didnt have a replacement... I think I could have gave some of those faster cars a run for thier money..

Drivers edge event... I'm trying to keep up with a Porsche... I think I did pretty good... caught him once, then let him get away during a flag... then caught back up a little.. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5220164484356396796&q=240Z
