'99 Z28

111,000mi (purchased the car in '06 with ~85k)

All done around 100k:

SAIKOU MICHI dual catch can
Tuned (Made 321rwhp on a Dyno Dynamics)

Passed NYS inspection last week.


Full disclosure:

An unfortunate incident resulted in needing to replace the driver's door and rear quarter. It's fine from 50ft but looking closer you can tell an amateur (me) and his brother did the work. I might be overstating it some. The panel gaps aren't perfect and there is a run in the paint. It never bothered me since it was mostly just a track car.

Coolant level light is on. Coolant level is good. No leaks. Car runs cool. I haven't bothered replacing the sensor to turn the idiot light off.

It pops out of reverse occasionally.

When driven hard, the car will smoke on decel. When back on the accelerator, it clears up. I was hoping that the catch can would solve this issue, but it didn't. The car continues to run strong so I just keep an eye on the oil level.

There appears to be some weeping from the rear main seal.

There also appears to be some weeping from a fitting on the clutch master.

A/C is there but has lost it's charge. I haven't investigated further.

The previous owner must have been a tense driver given the condition of the steering wheel. There is noticeable wear between 9 and 3 o'clock. I'm assuming it was from a death grip.




The car is located in southern NY. Just a 20 minute drive from WGI. Someone should come out for the IRL race on Labor Day weekend and take this thing home!

Reason for selling: HPDEs are fun but they are definitely a gateway drug. Therefore I've decided to build a ChumpCar to scratch that racing itch.

Price drop! Motivated to sell.

It appears that editing my post wiped out the photos. Not sure why. I'll see if I can get them back up later when I'm home.

Another drop. I'll let this run through the weekend before it goes on Craigslist.

This is the only place the car is currently advertised. You guys seem like a good group, and Craigslist is well...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

What do you recommend for a hosting site these days?

Everyone has their favorite. I use Fotki: Fotki photo hosting It is NOT free, if you want to post photos to other web sites, but I think I'm paying something like $15 a year for a LOT of space (pricing is here: Subscription options

Their server farm is now located in Estonia, IIRC, they relocated their servers, literally, from the US to Estonia a couple of years ago. Other than the slight delay getting access to some of my photos during that move, I've had no issues from them. There are others out there, though, Flikr, Google, pBase etc., and AFAIK NONE are trying to rape their subscribers like photophucket is!

I've got an interest in a track-only car. Is is street legal? Headlights, tail lights, wipers etc?
Could you put pix on Google drive or something like that?
I haven't talked to the wife yet so don't count on me, but that's exactly the price range I was thinking for a track beater.

PM me your email and I can send some photos to you.
