Adam, you have some serious skills, just took time to read through this thread. I'm very impressed with your work and business.. and you've got some awesome drift skills. I hope to be competing in DMCC this year with my new (to me) Soarer. I'll definately keep you in mind if I need some parts in the near future

Wow! You are far more brave than I! No thanks. It would be fun if I had a show and a pro to help, but, with my setup......... No Way!

Have some bad news unfortunatly. Went to az and ran at firebird for the drag and drift event. At the end of the night durring one of the runs i heard something go bang. Pulled it off the track and found a hole in the block.

Took the motor out of the car and pulled it apart. For some reason the oil pump decided to explode and it threw some parts around the bottom half. One ended up putting a hole in the block but the bad part was that it also damaged a piston and a rod.

Luckly my friends at Speed O Motive made a few calls and found us a block from SP Engineering. Currently waiting for CP to make a new piston and a rod from Brian Crower. Already picked up a new oil pump and some parts to get the motor back together from Cabe Toyota.

Many of you know i've been driving the Tanaka Racing Corvette in Formula D. Unfortunatly this year they where unable to get the sponsorships needed to run this season. I did however just sign with Megan Racing to build and drive thier 350z so im looking forward to that, just not much time to get things done before the season starts in april 8,9th in long beach.

I switched web sites so it killed all the links. The pictures are up at battleversion.com in the gallery.

Been busy with the Megan car so i havent had time to get Lexy running again. Hoping to get some help and get her back together next week as the backup car for long beach.

I forgot about this thread. Excellent work on everything. I wish I could get parts that easy. Quality parts on your site too. I ordered those steering rack bushings they got to me so quick.
