The Goal: Pick up where I left off with my old Ws6. (mm3)
Great street car but lots of drawbacks when it came to competing though I had a great run.
The following pictures are over the past two years.
The Car: 08 Z06 with about 600 original miles (rear end collision / total).
I picked it up via Mark Carlyle from IPS. Frame and some body with complete Interior.
It's *** end was all jacked up so needed a straight one.
John Holt Racecars was contracted to do the 25.3 cage, fix the frame, some reassembly along with fabbing the turbo mounts and mods to frame rail for boost. These guys did a TON of work.
I contributed a mid and front motor plate.
and finally came home:
and immediately went out to a local shop (Roscoe's Pro Shop), to seal up remaining leaks in the frame rail and prepare what parts of the oem wiring we will reuse.

ended up switching from this pump to the dailey system. if anyone is interested please pm me!
Peterson R4 P/N 04-4072 for right side mounting with a single return line and it’s a 4 stage pump with 3 large 1.4” scavenge sections and a large 1.4” pressure section, so it has plenty of volume and scavenging for almost any application. The pressure section and pressure adjustment is on the rear, so plumbing is less cluttered and easier to get to. The 3 scavenge sections have the short Peterson 14-0012 -12 AN fittings and a single -16 AN outlet fitting to the tank. The pressure section has a -16 inlet and -12 outlet fitting. the 2 bolt flange allows it to be universal for anyone to make their mount.

Nothing against you at all, but I would probably just buy new at that price point. $100 savings for something that expensive wouldn't make up for any support that I may need from peterson in the future. While buying it from you instead of them might wouldn't affect any support I would get from them, it would give me (or any buyer) a decent piece of mind.
Unfortunately, I've been down this road trying to sell new parts myself. They just are not new if they have been bought by a consumer, even if they are unused.
Shoot me a price, I may bite.

I really haven't seen anyone put as much thought into builds as you do... I wish I could hit the lotto and pay you to consult for me to build a car lol
