I've already picked up a few goodies for her, other than the Big Block's entire S13 front suspension/4 pot brakes - Blitz Dual SBC, S15 injectors & fuel reg (both of which need modding to work), Z32 AFM & QFM rear pads (the RXG's are the same as S13).

Other necessary items coming soon are Bosch 044 pump & 2L surge tank, adapt the R33 twin pot rear brakes, finish the front bar I've been working on for the last 8 years, mod the rear subframe using the Datsport kit & a CAMS spec cage.

Pure track car only. The Big Block can go back to weekend duties & one day (hahaha) get a paint job.

Here's the list of mods so far with the proposed changes to be made over this year:

Engine:
SR20DET, S14 T28 (non BB) turbo, S15 injectors, Blitz Dual SBC boost controller, large FMIC inside the engine bay (rad moved back), Bosch 044 fuel pump & 2L surge tank, Exedy very HD clutch.
Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Diff:
S13 coilovers all round (seperated rear springs), R33 4 pot/2 pot brakes, Keichi Tsuchia 16x8" rims with Bridgestone RE55S tyres, R200 locked diff (may go to clutch LSD in future).
Interior:
Completely stripped, only aftermarket gauges (Apexi RSM, water temp & boost only, but they may all be replaced by a Racepack dash), Bride seat, Tanaka 6 point harness, (FIA spec roll cage to come), repaint interior after cleanup (white).
Exterior:
Green/black signage in Kawasaki WSB style, FJ20 bonnet, factory front splitter, Impul side skirts, (will end up with a custom S13 derived front bar & R32 GTR V Spec rear wing like Arro's new RSX).

It's a track only car so I'm free to mod it as much as I like (within certain rules).

Gadg: This is No.3 - Big Block, Stoogemobile (RIP) & Green Machine.

The Big Block went for it's last track day Sunday. Pissed down rain & I nearly wrote her off. The arvo cleared up & we could start setting realistic times again. Huge miss & surge up in the RPM range but that'll be cured by yet another rebuild some time this year. I didn't get any footage of the big off in session 1 & sat out the next 2 wet sessions.

Session 4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQOkLTqcw_g
Session 5 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TagENCQAvEs

That was using a 3CCD JVC HD camera too. Much better quality & wide screen.
