ZN6 - Blitz x Cusco Track Build
Lava GT86 journey –
I purchased this car from another member on the forum back in March of 2020 as a fun summer car. The focus of this vehicle is to be a simple seat time track car that can still get me around town. For parts, my aim is to use high quality pieces with a “do it once, do it right” mentality. I am sourcing most parts through Sean Yack @ Subieland Canada, if you have any questions feel free to reach out. 2020: Stock/Stock-ish ![]() 2021: Simple Seat Time ![]() ![]() Now for the fun part!

Thanks! It's a great car, and those first few years were just the break in.

I do hope that through all of this you have at least washed the engine and bay!

![]() I like this photo. It's different than most others. It tells a story. There is action, somehow, without any movement. It almost tells a story about grassroots motorsports, and has good composition and lighting. Well done!
