trackzpeed Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 I want to give some customer service props to Edan at Silvermine Motors....... Just so you know, Edan is a huge fan and supporter of the Z community as well as vendor for great products. He sent me a personal email concerned about the fit between his LCA and the futofab TCA..... He was willing to eat shipping and replace the LCA with another he has developed if necessary in order make the purchase right for me. I believe they will work together (see photo) but the point is Silvermine is going above and beyond to make sure they do. This is why I have and will continue to buy great products from Edan at Silvermine motors. My .02 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackzpeed Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Dave at AZC has been good to me over the years..... I just could not pass up the great price for product that silvermine has right now. Your build continues to inspire me alainburon, truly beautiful work.

trackzpeed Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Top four in AutoX yesterday.... I'm such an idiot though as I can't get video to post again! I'm no tech guy but it seems this should be easier... My latest video can be seen under the "video" section of the HybridZ site under "Z video's". BUT..... I can't get it to post here again?

trackzpeed Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Installed the front suspension bits..... Fit and finish were great. I'll post pics later. Time for an alignment to put these parts to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Your autocross video is awesome! Looks like a great club. I used to belong to a laid-back club, but the club closest to me is super type-A and it takes a lotta the fun out of it. Car looks great. And sounds even better!

trackzpeed Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Car is aligned with aggressive street and moderate race setting with -2.5 camber. Corner weighted with me in the car and fuel at 2700 lbs with a really nice balance. I have another AutoX May 23, so I'll post up opinion and video of changes then.

Richard Oben Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 2700 with driver is pretty light. Full interior etc, nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackzpeed Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 I got a chance to take a sprinted drive this morning..... She tracks straight and true, but man oh man can I can tell the difference cornering. This is gonna be a riot! On a side note, the shop that set my car up builds very high end race and rod cars..... A car they had on site holds a bonnieville record. Anyway, a few of the guys were poking around and under my car and were really impressed with my build. Not to shabby for a shade tree mechanic but honestly I could not have done it with great parts from the likes of Silvermine motors, T3, CX Racing, Wiring specialties, and the endless great advice and direction I gather from HybridZ.

armorer Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Are your bumpers aftermarket or reworked stock pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackzpeed Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Bumpers are from Futofab...... Nice fit and finish and they came powder coated black. Top 4 AutoX today but sadly no video. My friend screwed up and shot 10 minutes of the ground before turning off the video for my run. Race again June 4. New suspension bits and alignment was awesome. Car sticks like glue... Very point and shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackzpeed Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 For what it's worth, if I did it again and I may still modify..... I would have run an in tank pump. Yesterday I drove to work for some grins and giggles. The car sat out in 105 heat all day and when she started the fuel pump was wheezing and buzzing hot since the fuel in the car had a hard time keeping the pump cool. I was real low on fuel so it just sat in the fuel cell stewing. After fill up and some driving she is back to normal..... But again, I wouldn't have this to worry about with an in tank pump. My .02.

RebekahsZ Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Never had that happen due to heat alone. Might want to check your vent line and fuel filters. I have had a rollover valve get stuck in my vent line-pulled such a vacuum on my tank I couldn't get the fill cap off until I cut the vent line. It was one of those hot days at the track. But the car was still running like a raped ape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackzpeed Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Good advice, I'll check into those possibles as well. Thanks Keith. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
