ITR Z3 rebuild thread

Looks good! Glad it's coming back together. Do you have any idea of when it might be track-worthy again?

Hey Josh,

I hope to be out before the end of the season, now that I'll have a regional license to keep up. I'm always running at the end of the season and not the beginning.

BTW, the ITC #63 510, we did the same super-school.

Newsflash,

I just recieved a package from Pelican Autoparts, it's my new rear brake lines and the header panel for the drivers side windshield frame. I ripped the old one off and tried to beat it back into shape before deciding it just wouldn't give anything close to the original shape. I also just purchased a used oil pan and intake manifold. I'll go through the motor and re-bearing/ring it, maybe even check out the valves, and contact my tuner to see if he has a source on matched stock bosch injectors. Unfortunetly, the race car now has competition for my wrench time as the ac pump on the truck froze up, with only one belt it's out of action. I think soon I'll be looking for a basic 1/2 ton to tow with.

I just added this picture, one of the few I have of the car in action:



This was at Buttonwillow, the 200Sx belonged to Naji, who had an encounter with the tire wall the same weekend that I rolled.

Just to keep this thread going, I just uploaded this vid to google:



Ah, the good times I had in this little car

One thing you can say about using the trailer to work on, it's easier to find places to tie the car to while you pull/jack things back in place!

Good work James, be sure to get the factory dimensions on the front horns, etc to make sure everything is square and proper.
