Welcoming Our Newest Member to the Team

On February 17, at around 5:30, the newest member to our team was brought in.  I would like to introduce (for now) "Whitie."  Coming in just under 3,200 lbs and 163 inches long we now have a happy Z32 to work with.  Here are some early picks:



Clearly we have some work to do and I still need to get some information.  But for now we can marvel at this new beast and dream of a really good theme (which we will need a good one to keep us out of trouble with the judges).  Some early themes I can think of are:

  • Flying Turtle - Zchef thoughts
  • Fukushima or Gorja (Lime Green Theme) 
  • Vintage 57 Racing - ( Dress Whitie up as a Ferrari 315 S, Porsche 550 Spyder, XJ13 or some other vintage car to match the D)
If you can think of a theme let me know.

The D is alive!

Torch and I was able to get the engine installation completed, and then we were able to get it started.  We think a cylinder not firing, so we are going through the trouble shooting now.


Yup, it was cylinder number 2 that gave us trouble.  We changed out the fuel injector and it now is running better.  We will now run it up to temperature to see if other issues can be determined.

Here is the video of the first start.
