Default Project Trackstar

Picked up a totally stock street wit 370Z body from a friend for 10 bucks and decided to make a track car out of it while my r8 will be my show car. tore it down as soon as i got it home to do the body drop to lower the center of gravity (but more to make it look a lot better). made a custom front under spoiler and rear "whale tail". cut the rear window out to make room for the motor for the body drop, flipped the front mount clip, and glued in the rear tab on a custom spacer under the "trunk". did a couple of other small body mods (shaved emblems and got rid of the exhaust tips) and primed the body. just sanded it smoothed and going to paint it tomorrow after i pick up some paint after work.

*would have taken pics during all this but my batteries where dead and i just dove into the project

thx going to place an order for a stilly chassis and lipo upgrade today or tomorrow and keep this project rolling (unlike project 8: still trying to track down some wheels that will look right with the widebody). i'm painting today as soon as i get home from work. going white with a flat black hood and roof

NOOO!!!! you took my cars name.....well i guess its ok lol

How much weight do you plan on shaving? and for the motor I would recomend a Speedy-07BB from PN, it is a common track motor and provides well in both torque and top speed or maybe even PN's official 35t motor with these you cant go wrong, but if you want to go a step up you might want to try the Stock-R from atomic. Oh and as a side not awd is highly recomended (I didnt see it on your to-do list) Well have fun building

sorry for taking the name. but i had a bunch of free time at work today so i picked up my paint on my lunch break (should have got food, im starving lol) just finished up the paint job.

here it is being primed up

and then laying down the white base coat


i forgot to take pics of masking it for the flat black but here's the finished producted





productive day at work if you ask me lol. i ordered up some GPM aluminum 18 pole wheels to finish off the whole race look. def going to do the awd forgot to put that in there. cant wait to get all my parts here for this thing and hit the track and watch all my hard work pay off!
tell me what you guys think

took a couple of snaps of my rides. painted project trackstar's wheels bright pink to give it a lil jdm flare. i like it. going to do the same to the aluminum wheels when they get here.


ah project 8 in all her widebody glory lol

wheels should be here soon for project trackstar, but going to have to wait until next week for the chassis

How does painting the wheels give them JDM flare? You are at least the second person off the top of my head to claim this on here and I don't understand the reasoning behind it. The Mugen wheels on my 1994 Civic are not pink and they are definitely JDM!

On the other hand, nice clean rides!
