Silver Zx2 (The Shitbox) Build Logs

Meet the Little Shitbox That Could. Enjoy the first walkaround of our $800 experiment.

Do we need it to race? Probably not, but I've always had a thing for cars with functional mirrors, so we fixed it anyway. 

What good is a car that you don't drive? We took the ZX2 out for a few laps around our home testing area, aka the field out front. Here's the dashcam video.

After our first testing day, it was time to assess and repair the damage.  Given that we blew through a quart of oil in just a few laps, this wasn't something we could just ignore...

Well, we had it off the car anyway, so it seemed like a good time to deal with the silver paint on the valve cover. 

With the valve cover painted, it was time for a reinstall and time to replace the plugs and wires. 

The interior was already trashed, so let's strip it out and ditch some weight!

We've had some growing pains with our video up to this point, but here's a little from our second race in the Shitbox.
