Dude, sh*t I totally forgot they still haven't messaged me back regarding getting my driveshaft money back and replacing that bonk axle! Yeah, I'll push for that then hahaha.
No, the other plan I'm kicking around is mildly diabolical too, but I think you all will approve.
Jesus. That sucks man, though I'd probably throw a head on it and send it!
Nate, I was thinking that for a bit! Seemed like a waste to dump this head (at least temporarily) after tossing inconel valves in it, but it'd get the ball rolling quicker!
Unfortunately, although mama didn't raise no quitter, I think I'm throwing in the towel for now with this project. At this rate, it's going to be forever until this thing runs a track lap again, and it's already been four months since I last tracked it. Gotta get the motor dialed in again and then still keep working on that driveline vibration before I can think about entering the car in another time attack event.
This is probably the end of this thread. I think I'm going to take up boating...
Damn man, bummer to hear that, but I also can't say that I blame you. I think the majority of people would have struggled to stay interested in a project that has this many unforced errors. I certainly would have been out of my depths a while back.
A 2.5 swapped NC seems to be a pretty good package, although a downgrade in power from the current setup. Still some potential there though. I assume you already have a rough idea of what you want to build?

I was really sad until I read this. Hint at a NC project?
I think a NC2/3 (forged rotating assy) + rotrex would be comfy power wise, and the NC chassis way outclasses the NA/NB. Interested to see what you do.
I'd skip the 2.5, unless you go fully built/forged and balance the rotating assy. Seems like those things buzz and fly apart, the 2.5's just aren't built for sustained high RPM track abuse.
That’s starting to sound like the consensus. With the forged NC2/2.5 motors being good for ~350whp unopened, I’m having a harder time seeing why I shouldn’t just grab one of those and boost it
Same, dude. All I wanted was for people to continue getting use out of all the parts that went into the build. The buyer's gonna take a couple things off of it then give the shell to his buddy to turn into a time attack car. They're only one county over from me so maybe I'll see it at the track again sometime in the future.
So, weird update on this car's current state. A couple days ago, the guy who picked up the shell messaged me and tells me the car's gonna be on some big YouTube channel. I ask what he's talking about and he says some guys from the channel came and grabbed the shell to use in one of their videos. More details via these screenshots.
So yeah, it didn't get turned back into a racecar. I looked at these guys' channel and it seems like absolute brainrot. I'm not super butthurt about my old car getting turned into a clickbait prop, but damn I wouldn't have guessed this to be its fate lol.
I don't know how the guy I sold the car to is keeping track of this thing but he just sent me an IG story today of the car getting a respray. Which I guess it needed, so that's cool...
Not sure if we're on the same page here. I think they meant they're gonna have a dude literally try to pick the side of the car up and roll it over for a video which would be even more gen alpha than what you're thinking.
