Re: My New Time Attack Car Build Thread

Can't wait to see this thing finished. And with these build threads popping up, guess I'll have to start a thread for mine.

The engine doesn't seem to have any leaks and I will probably only replace the gaskets that I remove when changing parts.

I have a LS6 intake manifold if you are interested. Might have some other parts too if you want. Let me know. I've pretty much built an LS1 from the ground up so I have some spare parts.

Keep it up Mike.
You have my number and I have yours. I WANT to see and be apart of lending a hand in this build.

Also, I don't know if I've said this yet but next time Zak and Shane go with you to VIR, I'd like to come for the weekend to watch. (now that i got one of them low hour high pay jobs :P)

I'll be driving for VW that weekend in a new program they started that allows people to ride along during an actual race. It will be me and 6 other pro drivers racing brand new R32's. The following weekend is my last race of the season with a 1 hour endurance race on Sunday which should be pretty fun to watch. I might be working on the E36 during the week though after work if you wanna come by. I'll hit you up and let you know.
