z-ya Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hey Ron, We met at MSA. Our club built a track car with the same scheme (ours looks good from 20 feet or so). I was impressed with the quality of work you are doing on this project. Nice roll cage and seat arrangement (I'm a big guy too!). The paint looks awesome! Here is a recent pic of our club car at an autocross. We did a track event with it this weekend, and it performed very well. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramercyjam Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I'd be scared to race that Z. Truly a thing of beauty! Yup. Put it under glass on a rotating pedestal or behind some gold ropes. It's just too nice to crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Nice! I love the idea of putting a spherical bearing right into the TC rod mount. Very well executed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc's240z Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 Well we made it to the show. It took a tone of work with five people working around the clock friday night to make it there...I am now just starting to recover....But it was worth it. Everything came together the car is unbelieveable...PDK fabrication did an unbelieveable job. I am so thrilled... We will have the car running in a few weeks and race ready in a few months. I still can't believe it!! here are some photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Have you driven it yet? I think I'd be taking it down the street and back a couple times, or swapping plates with a street car for a couple hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Marshall Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Was this your car? It looked awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc's240z Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Marshall, The top picture (at the car show is my car) the other photo is an ITS car that is painted similar to my car and close to the original BRE paint scheme. If you look closely there are a few differences... Thanks though!! your photo is a good one and I have not seen that view yet... Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
