Gawd this waiting is driving me nuts!!!


Can't wait to get the first run of mods done..... Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas....

Still waiting for Parts?
 
I am having a hell of a time with my Isuzu... I can't get the damn carrier bearing / centre bearing on the axle apart, and I distroyed the seal while trying on it only to find out NOBODY makes the seal anymore anywhere!!! Uhhgggg

Lol - buy a MIATA!!!

I nearly bought one... probably would have been the smart way to do this; but I like to give myself a hard time for no good reason, just to make it interesting.
 
New tires arrived today for the car:
 
Dunlop Direzza ZII



Sport Edition Rims, only weigh 12.4lbs

Those look badass!!


So where you at with this thing?

Just wrapped up the installation of the rear springs, shocks, wheel bearings and brakes today. Just put in un-cracked/un-tinted tail lights, head lamps yesterday.
 
Still waiting on a couple of seals for the front wheels and a slide hammer to take apart a centre bearing. Might be a week or two getting the front all done the same way.
 
After that I have to clean up and fix the inside of the car, currently it is stripped. Then get it to an exhaust shop somehow to get a new front pipe and muffler on it.
 
A lot of little stuff in between all of that too. Realistically it probably won't be on the road until mid July.

Miata???  I was racing one at Button Willow on the weekend.  We were in a 24 hour race that went well until about hour number 5.  Head gasket failed.
 
This created super heated steam that eroded a good part of the exhaust valves away, including part of the actual heads.
 
Miata's are excecllent cars - but they're not 100% trouble free.  Almost 100%, but not quite.
 
Nick, you do know that I run a track goup?  We only let folks in that have some type of performance driving experience beyond scaring the crap out of a girlfriend.  Let me know if you're interested - we have room in the group this year (which is rare).

That sounds wicked, I'd actually love to join... although I don't think my i-Mark is much good for anything other than autocross
 
However I was thinking about picking up a new Corvette maybe next year, also if that BMW M2 comes out I will by buying it.... still to this day I regret not getting the 1M coupe.

The new Vette is awesome.....
