peter's canadian imola ZHP project

[slater]

I thought you were going to just take the good bits from the sedan and turn it back to stock to sell it, didn't realize you would be parting it out

no, that

a) would take way too long... all of the 'good bits' are encompassed in the drivetrain. so the drivetrain needs to come out.
b) is actually more expensive than doing what i'm doing - which is creating a ZHP Touring.

plus there is a crack in the RACP of the sedan, and i just wouldn't feel comfortable selling it like that.




and... you guys' GIFs are hilarious. love it.

Ya I get that I guess. But just pains me a little so see a good car (with a RACP crack, which can be fixed) to be taken off the road and be taken apart for parts. Must not have been an easy decision.

no, it definitely wasn't easy. and my RACP had started to separate from the chassis leg - only a tiny bit, and i secured it with rivets as per vince's recommendation, but ultimately i knew i didn't want to be tracking this car because of that. the Touring has the factory reinforcement piece, no cracks, and i am putting the VinceBar in very soon. if i'm going to drive this car like i drove the sedan (occasional hard launches, tail-out fun, future track days), i need to be darn sure i won't have to tear it apart again to repair it.

so... sad, yes. but with a happy ending. i'm creating a one-of-a-kind car, and my friends are benefiting from the parts i'm not using, so everyone wins!

Looks like the vultures are already circling around Peter's imola sedan

Nah, not really. We wouldn't do that.

On a completely different note: remind me what extra goodies you have in this car, Peter.

stuff for sale? all extra goodies are going into the Touring... the rest (leftover) will be stock ZHP stuff.

i might have a shark injector for sale. might be going with an AA tune if i decide to use the bimmerbrake headers i've got here...
