J-Spec Automotive has my car...

Lol…sweet

Man, I want to se this thing in action…hurry up ;D

Believe me, so do I. It’s been over 10 months now. When I first got into this I figured those 2 year builds were done BY the owner in his garage in his spare time. I would have gone with an E55 AMG had I seen this long of a wait ahead.

It’s totally worth it! Congrats and I am very excited for you!!

Thank you. If I’m really lucky, we’ll get to log the car early this week. At that point, I think we’ll have a week of tuning back and forth before I can take the car home and start driving it around with a GoPro3 and PBox or whatever the dick you call it.

I can have a p-box shipped to you to use a few times if you don’t have access to one.

Is it a pbox or vbox? I’ve only heard of a vbox… If both exist what is the difference?

pbox. You’ve heard of a vbox being used by magazines and stuff.

Forum people always have a pbox.

Vbox is $2000+

Pbox is $500

Same company, same concept. Pboxbis a little all in one thing the size of a nav unit and saves data to a sd card. Vbox is live linked to a laptop.

I would love to see pbox data at pbir. Maybe we can find out if there’s a reason cars are so fast there despite the heat and shit da.

I’ll buy a PBox because I’m really interested in using it frequently and long-term. That along with the video camera should make for some good videos.

Thanks Saki for the p vs. v comparison.

I was looking online, looks like the Pbox can come with or without video. What does a Pbox video look like? Not sure if I have seen one, maybe I have and I just don’t know…

I think PBIR holds so many records b/c its open year around. Frequent visits allow for more runs resulting in… hopefully better and better runs via tuning, tires, overall setups and most importantly a better driver. It’s the only thing I can think of b/c temps and da do suck.

How many other tracks in the US hold a test and tune 2x per week by default and also host a bunch of private events throughout the year? Over the course of a year, it’s a lot of nights… Weather permitting.

The track is out west a bit, 20miles, so temps are about 5 degrees cooler than West Palm Beach or even Palm Beach Gardens but still not a game changer by any stretch.

Pardon my comments regarding the Pbox and video, I was confused.

Lol I was going to say… I’ve owned one for three years and was like ‘damn, video?’

Pbir… I have no idea how cars there are as fast as they are. Traction is all I can think of. They run on concrete.

Yeah, I’ll be running the pBox along with a Hero3 pointing at it and out the window. :stuck_out_tongue:

Focus on running, then worry about your gadgets! Joking… Sort of… Looks like you could be running sooner then you might have thought. I saw one of Jspec’s techs the other day.

I get this funny feeling he’ll be done a little quicker than originally planned as well. :slight_smile:

Were you at J-Spec? Let me know when you’re in the area. We’ll shoot the stupid breeze awhile.

Oh and I agree with you. I haven’t purchased anything yet because if I do, the car will never be ready. That’s the way things work for me. If I buy a bunch of stuff and plan on having the car ready for it - something will go wrong. Getting the car back and WISHING I had the pBox and Hero3 will work much better.

^^^ I was at USP for their annual gathering. I’ll let you know if and when I’ll be around J’s.

Things are beginning to fall into place again. The exhaust manifolds have arrived, along with gaskets from ECS Tuning and a new 034 snub mount with cage from JHM. Onward and upward.

exhaust manifolds? Is your engine out of the car???

It will be this weekend. Something broke. Remember?

Don’t remember… What?
