Project 999

@13d1407a21=MasonX3:
I'll have the front bumper off you if you weigh the car in and probably the rear bumper and mirrors if the price is right
Won't be asking silly money for any parts.

Well there is good news and bad news….
The good news is the car will see us through the PPC 999 Challenge.
The bad news is that the car is as bad underneath as I thought. Found four holes in the sills, one thats almost big enough to get my fist into...
So the car will definitely be getting scrapped after the event. This means two options:
1. someone buys the whole car for their own purposes.
2. I break it and sell the parts.I will be posting threads up in the Parts section and in the Cars section and will see how much interest there is on this.
Feel free to PM me.
As far as Project 999 is concerned things are going well. Filters are here so hopefully she will run a bit sweeter. Springs will hopefully arrive today and get fitted tonight. A/C is coming out to reduce weight further, and I have a boss kit coming so I can fit the steering wheel out of my 200sx drifter.
Had the car out for a blast last night and even with the fueling issues she was much more responsive. Can't wait for the day now.

New springs fitted today. Makes her sit a lot better, and the handling is better too.
Plugs have been changed and she runs a bit smoother. Old ones were black with carbon.
Brakes overhauled and moving freely now too.Pics will go up as soon as my photobucket stops misbehaving :x

Before lowereing:
Front lowered:
After lowering:
Definite improvement.

Well we made Santa Pod, although it took us over 9 hours to get there. We got caught up in the floods around Newcastle and took 2 hours to move 3 miles.
We thought we had cured the fueling problems, but on the day they returned. So the handling time wasn't as good as it could have been.
All things considered, a good time was had. And we will definitely be preparing a car for next years event.
We will be offering the car, and all the parts removed, for sale. However, if there is enough interest I may consider breaking for parts.

what dime did you get doen the strip?
-
Best time was 17.00
Most of them were around 17.0 to 17.1
Worst was a 17.3
-
not a bad time for a stock mx
-
Was annoyed that I couldn't get down below 17.0.
The handling circuit was worse though, coiuld only manage a 25.00.
The fueling issues were never properly fixed, so I kept losing power half way around. But it was a blast, and I will be up for it again next year.

Thats the car up for sale now, check out the thread. Cheers.
