Just so you know whats going on......

[veloce240sx]

As some of you know I recently purchased my first home and havnt been around very much. Here is a little info on my car and my build.

When I purchased the vehicle from Nya. Everything looked good and I was confident in the purchase.

Looked good from the outside but when I looked into things it was a different story.After 3 electrical fires and the car randomly turning off on me I decided to do a wire tuck do to the horrible wiring in this thing and this is what i found.

after about an hour

After this the car ran great for about a month and the trans went out. I had IVM do the swap cause it was winter time at this point and I didnt have a gayrage at the time. Its been 3 years since the trans swap and it still works great. I only have before and after pics of things I did.

New Build.....
I started yesterday by pulling off my old gt28 and selling that to order my turbo that is on the way. Basically tearing the car down completely.

[veloce240sx]

Thats it for now. The car will either be slammed out quick to be done for eaf or will take till next year. It all depends on how much money I have. Paying for a house and a wedding sucks so we shall see what my wallet says. I also got a new phone so I lost everyones number for the 83728323th time. Sorry guys so either text me or post em up!

[wakotow]

Dude...your wiring looks like mine when I got my car...I especially like the twist and pinch of tape...wonderful.

I wish I had the money, time, reliable second car, to do what you're doing to your car...lucky.

I may be interested in those seats my drivers seat has steel showing through the material and foam...so ya.

Do you have a welder? I can loan you mine if you don't.

hahaha ya funny thing was I was running faster than them. They were being careful not to hurt their 200k babies lol. I have a welder but its not a super nice one so doesnt lay down very good welds so I might take you up on that. Thanks

[ZenkiTrev]

Cool build!
How did you like Fernly?

[wakotow]

I just have a little lincoln, it does use 220VAC though, I don't know if you've got that in your garage. I have a feeling that a stock lambo or ferarri would be pretty resilliant to damage...I'll probably never have to worry about owning one I guess.

What seats are you replacing your stockers with?

[veloce240sx]

Fernly is a great scca track. It was over 5 miles long and used for many car and driver tests. Too bad its gone :( I did tech inspection there for 3 years on the street drags and that was a blast too. Andrew I am thinking of doing either bride or status seats no sure yet. The drive seat came out of a 94 vert and is super comfy :D you give me a price I wont refuse.

ya 4" inlet. Damn will its been forever buddy I need to see your car still havnt seen it all done....

Hey andrew its a different plug :(

pick n pull charges $40 per seat so $30????

[wakotow]

30$ sounds good to me, I get paid next friday so I can come on saturday or somethin'.

I don't know what to do about different plugs...does your other welder plug in?

Fernley should at the least open up the drags again...

ya mine plugs in. Its only 110 I just looked. Thanks tho. We could move my dryer and weld upstairs ahahahahahahahahaha. Unless someone else is opening fernly its a no go. Owner was required to remove all possetions and sold his 240 for dirt cheap to a friend of mine

[wakotow]

I wonder how much it'd be to buy that track.

[wakotow]

how's this project goin' Cody?

[ZenkiTrev]

I found the answer to this question...

:eek:

[veloce240sx]

Word is the track might open now. Im great friends with the guy that will be running the drags and track days so I will keep you updated as I get updated.

As far as the project goes.... Eh, Kinda got lazy cause I got back into racing rc cars so that took a dent in my budget, but good news I just got back from wek-fest in japantown and that motivated me a little bit more.

[wakotow]

$38mil...more than I would have thought...but at 1.72 a foot that's not too bad.

It'd be awesome if they open back up.

I hear ya with staying motivated on projects...gets tough sometimes.
