I'm revealing my secret race car project just to forum sponsors so keep it on the DL from newbies :shhh:. My plan is build a lightweight P10 with Autech exterior for HPDE and other track days. I'm not following any rules to fit a certain competitive class, I just do what I like
The car is based on a 1993.5 Infiniti G20 shell
KL0 Platinum Metallic, Black dash, Gray cloth, No sunroof, No options except for dealer installed fog lamps. It was 100% stock, untill I got my hands on it.
109,562 miles on chassis when purchased, now has 209,562
Purchased the car in Jan 2007 for $600, has dents on every panel and a rod knock. Replaced the engine with the highport from my former P10 that was destroyed November 2006. Engine had 134,415 miles on it when installed in August 2007. The engine is completely stock, 117whp...for now.
So far my focus has been on weight reduction and cosmetics.
