Haha, yeah it was an auto pedal. It's not as long as it looks, I
need to trim the rubber a bit more. Turns out the 350Z throttle
pedal is perfect for heel-toeing!
Finally got my car into the shop, shouldn't be long now.

It's my old one that I sold to a friend of mine. He's been
slowly fixing it up.

Back from the dead! Sooo as most of you know, this car has been
mostly parted out at this point, but I picked up another running
and driving fastback and made some... changes.
:(

Anddd it's current state of disrepair, but it runs and drives,
and I can already tell the front kit is going to be amazing.
LOTS, LOTS more to come for both cars, but for now I'm going to
get this thing legal and beat the daylights out of the KA until
I can decide which direction I want to go with either chassis.
Slid it around a tiny bit today, feels amazing.

Did some block sanding of the horrendous bodywork on this thing.
It needs overs and fenders pretty badly.

So wait, the V6 project is parted out?
Well either way, that angle is sick.

Yessir. The VQ has too many compromises for me. The hood doesn't
fit, the oil pan sits below the crossmember, there's little room
in the bay and building it is expensive. The shell will now be
either caged or put back together like factory, I plan to make
one of these a street car and one a track-only beast. The coils,
subframes and kit obviously went on the new car.

Honestly, that all sounds like good news. The VQ has gotta be
the worst sounding motor on the track. The two at Detroit were
just horrible and I've never heard a good sounding one.

Sorry I haven't been keeping this updated guys. Looks like the
photos in the first post have died. I've reuploaded a bunch to
imgur. Here's a photo dump of what's been going on.
Prepping the car for No Star Bash, some HPDE events, and any
other drift events I can make it to this summer.
