Progress on project.....
 

Yes another race car project thread....HOWEVER, I am committed since I just dropped $1700 on the Coil Overs, $600 on the cage, $500 on the brakes and about another $1,000 on miscellaneous stuff....being single aint that bad.

Heck yeah! good way to keep yourself occupied. What kind of racing are you doing?

I will be racing in the 944Cup series with N.A.S.A. It is all Road Course stuff.

sweet stuff!

Looks great, road racing ftw. Keep us updated.

Sweet. I wanna get a foxbody and work it when im older.

Well, after 1 long week of hard work, the race car is DONE!! Yes, I have finally completed a build of an ACTUAL Road Course Race Car. I am here in Savannah Georgia getting ready to run it for the first time tomorrow and Sunday. I will have better pics, and I didn't get a chance to get all the graphics done, but here are two pics. Full in car video to come tomorrow night.

nice Mike, congrats!! Keep us posted and be safe.

very nice man!!

looks great! seems like you got a ton of work done in a week.

keep us posted, good luck, and be safe!

Yeah, I took a week off from work to make sure I got done in time. I finished at 11pm last night.

My next door neighbor races a 944 here at Road Atlanta. I believe he just set the course record for his class.

Have fun Mike!

Looking good buddy..:D

Nice! Glad to see it all came together for you. And single? Damn, Ive been outta the loop for a while. New truck, new race car, no wifey, lol.

;)

:O

:drool: ZX 14R

You're crazy man lol 100%

..and you're just realizing this NOW?? http://www.mcmmotorsports.com/smilies/crazy.gif

Hey Mike

What happened to all those crazy vids you used to make?


I need some entertainment. :mad:

Hey Mike, are you an O/O or company driver. Clean truck!!!

O/O

:D hell no, known that for a while now.


I guess I went crazy too...went and sold the Trans Am for a Honda...


lol best thing I ever did...

Damn Ricer. :p

For a Honda?

:D damn straight. Completely stock with an extended 100k mile warranty.

Damn skippy. 2008 Civic Si. In black of course :D

So you traded in your slow Mustang for a pretty fast Trans Am, then traded in your pretty fast Trans Am for a Civic thats even slower than the slow Mustang.

Dang.

LOL I sold the Mustang, drove the Trans Am for about 8 months, got a sweet ass speeding ticket, got sick of the Trans Am, decided I was tired of buying used cars that always bite me in the ass, and have ALWAYS wanted a Civic, but I guess Im just a ricer inside.

Civic handles better than both too :D And at 197 hp and 2800 lbs, its not that much slower than a stock new edge ;)

But the real treat is getting 30 mpg which effectively doubled the Trans Am and Mustangs mileage. I do miss the Mustangs sound terribly though :(

nowadays 30mpg aint nothing to shake a stick at thats for sure with gas prices being as craZy as they are.

im actually pretty much with yaa matt, i drive my honda 95% of the time. Its gotten to the point where i used to say the honda was just a commuter, my mustang is my REAL car.

now i realize, the honda is my real car, the mustang is the one in the garage i cant afford to put gas in.

lol....

looks good Mike.

lol sucks dont it.

I mean, I love this little car, zero doubt that Ill keep it for many years to come. Unless its a Vette, not sure when the next V8 car will come, its just not feasible anymore...

Well here is the latest....not only is the race car a legal race car, but as of Saturday, September 20th 2008 I am a legal licensed N.A.S.A. race car driver. Passed Competition School and went on to race on Sunday.

What would an MCM Motorsports post be without a video:
