There are three main points to this post:
1. YES, I bought another Z, and I absolutely love it, but it has some issues that need addressed. I am having fun with the car now, but it will need to go into a frame shop this winter (I daily the car, so I can't let it out of my hands for a few weeks) to get the frame fixed. I drive this car around to work, store, etc. a true daily driver. The car is running sport 600's, built bottom end, stillen intercoolers, 555inj. full open 2.5" exhaust2. I have to say thanks to xybertron for helping me out with a B&M new volt install. The first time I did it myself, I installed it the same way one would install a HKS Twin Power, which was incorrect. The B&M actually just splices into the power wire to the coil. The B&M New Volt increases the voltage at the coils to 20V (stock voltage is around 12V). This thing works, I was able to keep 28 pounds of boost without the ignition breaking up (plugs gapped at .026) I may do a tech writeup on this, as the B&M is about 100 bucks on ebay, and an HKS Twin Power is about $400. AND the twin power doesnt increase voltage, just spark length. One thing I am not sure of, is if the voltage will have long term effects on the coils. We will see. 3. I smoked my RPS 6-puck in less than 3 weeks, and two trips to the drag strip. I am not sure what to do, I want to pull it to inspect it. The clutch slips on the track in 1st/2nd/3rd on the track, but seems to hold ok on the street. I suspect it is not full spent, but damn near toast. heres the slip:
