I made some improvements over the last few weeks.

The multi-colored hardtop Z is now destined for track duty.
Here is my new 1990 Super White 300ZX Twin Turbo! Purchased July 16th 2011, it is already becoming a nice tribute to the old Z.
I...
I have wanted this model of Ferrari since I was 14 or 15 years old. My goal was to buy one before I turned 30. I picked it up July 31st 2010 and turned 29 a little over a month ago...........it...

Updated broken picture links.
Fixed old broken picture links.

I have replaced the burned 2004 with a low mileage 2005, yes of course it's blue. ;)

Fixed dead picture links.
I miss this bike a lot! I may be picking up a 2001 Champions Edition as a replacement soon.
I never posted these pics. We strapped it to the AWD Mustang dyno at work...
I visited Inde Motorsports Ranch in Willcox, AZ for the second time (first time was in the Viper for the Grand Opening) and the Swift came along. The plan was to put the car on display next to the...
OK here is another video from one of the other participants. That's my old room mate going by in his modified 951. It pains me to watch the road cars pass me but it was a shakedown afterall.

This was THE first run of the car. It was slow and twitchy (not aligned yet) so keep that in mind.

You can see where I added a considerable amount of material in favor of strength....

This is what I did today. It is actually pretty close to being equal-length.

I've been VERY busy on the car lately. The track event that I'm trying to prepare the car for is less than three weeks away. I think I can make it.
Bearing carrier for end of driveshaft....
Today's progress.

Clearance issue with the frame.....it will need some modification....
R1 engine fully mounted in the frame.

This is the frame that will hold the Yamaha R1 bike engine and connect the tub to the gearbox (not complete but you get the idea). The square tubing is 1.25 X 1.25 X .120" wall. The flat bar is 1.5...
Today I worked on gutting the data aquisition wiring/sensors from the tub. I also moved all the pedals forward to accomodate my long legs. Then I installed the clutch fork and TO bearing back into...
These pics are way behind, they were taken just over a year ago.
Radiators, wheels, rear wing, sidepods and engine cover removed....
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments.
The F355 is supposedly one of the most reliable Ferraris built and there are cars with over 70,000 miles out there. By that number my car is not quite...
My friend and I picked it up yesterday from California with my truck and trailer and hauled it back to Arizona. It is unreal, the attention to detail is second to none (maybe a Zonda but you get the...
I want to paint the Z the same color as my old S2K, Silverstone Metallic. Can someone please give me a hand with a preview?
I want this color........
It makes it inferior to me for this exact reason. I am physically capable of modulating a brake pedal to control my speed and position when entering a corner. I don't require ABS to dictate my...

It doesn't look good.
Yes but when the tires "line up" with the direction of the slide (twice, when pointing forwards and backwards) the tires will have an influence on overall direction.
Correct, slide angle...
Again you bring up other siuations where ABS is beneficial.......I'm not arguing those points whatsoever.
This statement makes little sense. The rotation of a spin is perpendicular to the...
Well I hate to get in a drawn out dispute over the internet but I can't believe you still don't understand the physics here. A rotating wheel will alter the direction of a car that is spinning as it...
My point exactly....you CAN'T lock up the wheels in an ABS-equipped car to choose a single direction during a spin. The ABS forces the tires to keep rotating and will cause the car to alter it's...

If you lose control of yout car and start spinning in a non-ABS car you have SOME control of your driection. You can intentionally lock the wheels to keep the car traveling in a single direction.
...
Jeez that's an OLD video. That is the downside of no ABS, it's great on the track (controlling spins) but not so much on the road. I've drug a tire or two on my '97 in the past, scary stuff.
