And if anyone doubts it, you have the Chiropractor Reciepts to prove its yours!
In reply to maschinenbau :
You recall correctly and I see that it has patined well. Looking at your carpet I kind of wish I had put a base on it.
In reply to Stampie :
I attached some feet to it
I am planning on bringing my E36..... it doesn't need the M3 part to be a pile of crap!
Well... I am dropping my trans again tomorrow...
But, I will have tunes and ac when I drive down to flo Rida in my challenge car.
Does your challenge car have a radio? GPS? Ac?
No?
Well, it's gonna suck for you when you get spanked by a car that does!
Cruise, A/C, radio? Tow vehicle yes, challenge car no. I just hope it ( the challenge car) has 4 forward gears functioning the entire event. I do think street driving is a great way to sort a car before the challenge. Maybe one year I will actually manage to do that. My main plan is to do what I do every time I have been, Have Fun!
Oh it's ON !
We have our Challenge car running and driving now!!!!!
That puts us in a better position then half the field and a 400% better position than Monzora ever was 😜
In reply to Indy - Guy :
This makes me unreasonably happy!
also, I'm so glad it was just a weak battery (I also used to have those booster things we used, until the same thing happened to me - diagnosing issue, wanted to eliminate weak battery as potential cause, hooked up booster, wasted more time, still ended up being a weak battery)
I'll be there, and will have no idea what's going on at all. It'll be fun.
Moar (friendly) trahs talk! I'm watching and supporting so feel free to talk smack on me. I never could put a car together that was honestly fast but I have LOTS of grm stickers accumulated over the decades...
Getting ready to paint/redesign/shine up this years winner!

I appreciate you're enthusiasm, but you seem to have posted a picture of the wrong winning car.
I've corrected that for ya:
3 WEEKS LETS GOOOO
3 weeks until Big Altima Energy dominates!

Lots of go, for sure. Not enough turn.
I just had my challenge car above 100mph.
Did any of you?
I'm excited!
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
Soon. Very Soon!

I think this car cut me off in traffic the other day. It had just as many body panels attached and a bejeweled license plate holder for the expired temp tag.
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
That should happen wednesday for me!
Man, I have a lot to do before the challenge.
Checklist:
- give the car a bath
- pack.
How bout yall? Do you have such a huge crushing list to accomplish in the next 2.2 weeks? Or, 17 days?

Are you choosing to not shift past 3rd gear? I bet that lays down a 13.7
For reference, Datsaniti went mid-14s with a stock VQ35DE, automatic, and 2500 lbs. Roll-Ovalon is probably more similar to this Altima, with its higher powered V6, FWD, weight reduction, and it went 14.1.
I imagine the Altima with its spicey motor mods, tuned ECU, manual trans, slightly more weight and wrong wheel drive is probably low 14's to mid-13's. Plus we know Jonathan can actually drag race a stick shift. Double dog dare him to spray into the 12's

Well as i type this im in the staging lanes. No nitrous tonight as the only peice the kit didnt come with was a nozzle adapter which was 5 bucks so im waiting on that. Tonights goal is to make sure its mechanically sounds and that street tires arent a horribly wrong idea lol
