Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you youngsters brought back "sick". That, IMHO, was played out back in the mid 80's with dope & fresh (and least of all, DEF). If you don't use this word, then I stand corrected. :)

Finishing up the t-belt job, did the water pump and all the seals up front, removed power steering, working on removing ac

That 'Is' Work!! Good Job. Bay should look cleaner without all those extra lines going everywhere.

This is with a splash of gas in the car. About 1/3 tank @ 8.xx lbs per gallon for 4 ish gallons. So we are hovering just above 2000 lbs with plenty of weight to be lost still! Curly (josh) is going to be joining us for the tech day on May 11. He sounds pumped to tear up our dash. We are still rocking the heavy oem cat back which might be changed up here shortly too! Not too mention those E30 BBS wheels aren't exactly feather weights either.

Got a racing beat exhaust for free we just had to trade our stocker for it

Is it safe to cut out all that framework???

**greddy** · 05-11-2012, 08:32 PM

yeah, it's not really "safety" stuff anyway
So curly came over today, along with some other friends and we cut the dash, etc, I apologize for the quality of the pics as Nial is of to ORP for a chump car race. Two custom brackets were fabbed by our friend Davey Olson, one to mount the hood release and the other to mount the blower motor control knob, lost 22 pounds and looking good, much respect to curly for dealing with the rat's nest of wiring.

Oh, and here's more of my new M3, the story on this thing will amaze you guys :)

**xd_01** · 05-11-2012, 10:07 PM

wow you guys are putting in work, are you running in a specific class or just open track?

**wetamup2k3g** · 05-12-2012, 08:03 AM

When do we hear (read) the M3's story?

**greddy** · 05-12-2012, 02:32 PM

Car is being built as a sleeper HPDE car that will eventually get a.cage and become a chumpcar.

1.41.xx seconds first time out on all season tires for the miata, car clicked over 230K miles on the shell @ the track

Installed hood pins @ the track like a boss

car ran flawlessly its first time out, only to die on the freeway after the alternator gave out and drained the miniscule lawn mower battery, easy fix however, total cost of project including car so far has been $1500, so don't tell me that track fun can't be had for cheap

**greddy** · 10-21-2012, 08:16 PM

Lazarus got the advan paint scheme, getting all the decals put on this friday courtesy of a friend with a vinyl cutting business :)
we are now maybe 1200 or so into the car including the cost of the car, just goes to show that with careful planning motorsport is accessible to all. Plans for next season are to find a used seat for it, weld in a harness bar for the wonderful harness we already have, and cut out more weight.

**greddy** · 12-25-2012, 01:39 PM

laz got his new kicks on for christmas

**IVORY_G** · 12-26-2012, 11:19 PM

Just needs an aggressive front bumper. That smiley face OEM one isnt cutting it lol

**greddy** · 12-26-2012, 11:26 PM

I feel you, I'll have the garage vary lip back on it soon once the replacement arrives, a friend of mine crashed the car and destroyed the lip.

**IVORY_G** · 12-27-2012, 10:15 PM

Sounds good, except the part where you said that your friend crashed the car and destroyed the lip lol

**greddy** · 03-25-2013, 06:28 PM

detour, miata time on the track :D

Eddie Nakato, owner of AR auto service and driver extraordinare took our roughly $1500 total invested (including cost of car) around the track, earned some praise after he got out of the car
