We are but 4 days away from a local drift event and the LS/Z looks far from ready. Dan has been frantically working to get the car ready enough to get some shake down runs in. The main goals for this week are to have all of the suspension components installed and aligned, power steering plumbed, exhaust fabricated, wiring harness, fuel system, and tuning.
Not only is there an event this weekend that Dan must be at, but there is another just a week away. That event presents us with a completely different set of obstacles-the car does not have any glass installed, including the windshield, as well as the doors have not been hung. We will have another article on those processes later. Stay tuned this week as I will be posting everyday on the progress, set-backs, and plain ‘ol weird stuff that happens when you have a month worth of work to finish in 1 weeks time.






Looking awesome guys!
looking good.
Do how know the weight difference between the LS3 and the VQ35DE? What suspension will you run?
bad ass..hurry up lol
Thank you! we are hoping to have it fully completed by April.
I am not aware of the actual numbers between the LS motors and the VQ35, but I believe the LS 1 is around 35 lbs lighter than the VQ. That is with the T56 trans on the LS motor. We are using a 4 spd nascar style trans that will be even lighter. We are using Moton coil overs with remote mount reservoirs.
So far so good!
