whats that in your garage? the yellow car with the black stripes, looks a bit like a camaro but im not sure.

some people buy a BMW m3, I stick with the classics. The Camaro is a roadracer z28. I hit the track a few times a year...

With the previous gearing I hit 128 on the dyno in 6th. New gearing should be faster but I've only touched 112. Too scary.





Also got a new Aluminum 2 core radiator for cooling. I'm having issues at extended RPMs above 7k or above 60mph... Thats Ralphy the mascot!





I mounted up some of the rarest tires in the world. Continental Sportcontact 195/45/13s. 4 sets in the world and I tracked one down. Made the car torque steer WAY less and it actually has traction now. I love these tires....


Just playing around with some 22s. What do you guys think!?:smoke:

So much for a good night. Some dumbass talking on a cellphone hit me while turning without checking both ways. The front fender took the brunt of the accident but boy am I *******.









Check out the wheel!

Ordered a new wheel from Huddersfield and it turned out to be a totally different color. More of a brown.



Apparently the 'Ultralite' is a totally different color than the 'Superlite'.

Good news, the insurance estimate was pretty good. I ordered myself of Miglia Carbon Arches.

shame about the accedent. sounds and goes nice though

[guywithvan]

seriously i envy your car sooo much looks like it's going great shame on the accident i'm sure it'll get sorted soon.How'd you get on with most american cars being so huge compared to the mini i can hear a phrase being used that many british bikers often do "sorry mate i did'nt see you!" other than that i doubt i'd have a license very long as the temptation of all that bhp would be too much


any plans for a roll cage and more suited seats/harnesses for the track?

[SukiDawg]

I'd expect the wheel to be damaged after an impact like that, as well as the rim.

Very nice car..

Is that i minus they are on there? Regards Blue

[pete]

That is indeed a minus. Thats me in the background, stopped at a friends house on it's second drive after being sva'd and registered. If you look in the z-cars section under projects there is a full build diary.
