I guess u could say I was more shocked then envious.

The thing thats killing me is "Well while Im at it I might as well do this" but in the end it will be worth it.

I hope the new motor runs hard, if it doesnt Im not sure what Ill do. Still wont be enough for those damn UGR Lambo's.

A lil update, been tinkering with some things the past week or so and made some progress. Today I did a lil cosmetic work on the interior. Got all my wannabe RacercaR panels in, wasnt hard just time consuming.





Put the fuel tank back in after I got the battery box mounted, shimmed the starter, checked all fuel/oil lines again and this is the end result:

Not yet...like you, I started with a specific goal in mind and now it's out of control Summertime for sure...I think the only chance I'll have is when it's 110* outside...

Just got the driveshaft made, brakes ordered, and was in the process of installing it when I had to come back to work.

Still have some wiring I need finished up as well.

Picked up a new rear suspension kit.

Team Z **** is the ****.


Got about 90% of the 5 lug/disc brake setup done. Goal for the next two weeks is to get the brakes completely done, rear suspension in and setup correctly, alignment, and moving under its own power.

I totally forgot about the torque box reinforcements, so Im waiting for those to show up then off to the chassis shop.

Coils are underneath the dash, just cut two holes in the firewall and ran the plug wires through.
