Document everything on videotape and send it to me so that I can create a documentary afterwards.

I already have a name in mind ... "DeathWish 2005"

A new motor if all goes well. I Want to a carbed ZZ4 and I'm thinking an oil accumulator would be a good idea too but the 3 quart one is pretty damn big to fit anywhere in the engine bay and I don't want it in the cabin so maybe the 1.5 quart version will fit somewhere up front.

The white car will be retired from track duty after November 13/14.

Over the winter, I am putting it mostly back to stock to once again enjoy driving it around town, without hassles and selling off the parts.

Looking for a CMC car to put on the track sometime next year and race in the 2006 season.

Finishing this frame off (even though no frame) LS1/T56 powered, full suspensioned, 94 V6 Camaro racecar. smile.gif
ESPCamaro
Custom flares (Just started on the 'plug')
12" Fikse's.
A BMR non adj torque arm (because it's cheap and a stop gap between now, and the U/E decoupled arm)

Some ignition goodies.

Next spring a couple of Forza's.

Eventually a Edelbrock QuickData (probably next summer)





New Kumho graphics for the hood.
2000Z-71
Autocrossing in our season that's backwards from everybody else. I'm thinking summer project will be new torque arm.

Well I'm doing (almost finished) Pacesetter LT's, delteq ignition, and motor mounts as we speak.

I have the following planned for this winter:

Koni SA front shocks or revalved my current bilsteins for GC 600 lb springs
Koni sport 3rd gen rear monotubes with 150 lb springs
and maybe a few secrets wink.gif

I feel as if I'm ready to step up to an adjustable shock now.

Probably not much to the open track car. Maybe add a roll bar.

But complete reskining my dirt track car... new stronger engine and all new shocks and springs, plus several other things to do to it.

3. Re-do rear suspension
