ls1 240sx up and running we took it to www.noproblemraceway.com last friday, showed up fashionably late, unloaded it from the trailer finished a couple things on it, then hit the track with it. took one lap in it make sure it wasnt leaking anything ( i was pretty sure it wasnt other than a small water leak we couldnt find until it was warm) and see how it felt
this is a short vid, 1st time car was on track

came back in, found the water leak clear as day from some fittings for a water temp guage i forgot to put teflon tape on the threads. yanked it off and went back out, car ran great all day for never seeing a track, or much any driving before that day. wed drivent it up and down the street a couple times and that was it. other than a pinhole leak in a power steering line which we decided to just run dry w/o powersteering, the ebrake not working, and the alternator not working car worked great. were gonna try to get it out to paint sometime this week, and are prepping it for atlanta and a couple small events before then. runs great though, and the steering angle is retarted.

that was open header, it sounded like crap. it sounds 100x better with the exhausts back on. we had to make a set of headers and i forgot to grab some collectors, and we didnt feel like making them before this one event.
