Trip to Operation Z in Northridge
Our annual Team Vista trip to Magic Mountain was right on our way to view a 1975 280Z that had been converted already. I drove up with Jimena, Ashley, Shannon and Marcus. We took lots of pictures and the owner Joe Porcelli was great about showing all of the things he worked on to make it all work out. Dave was especially great about telling us about any questions we had about the challenges working on this particular car. The Z was beautiful and we were a bit intimidated by how great his car looked - we have lots of work to do! Deciding the size of batteries is the biggest challenge at the moment and lots depend upon what we decide to use as batteries. I had a thought about using LiFePo (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries (only $7500!) but maybe we could work something out with a dealer or the manufacturer itself. That would save lots on weight! Anyway, once we decide, we can move forward with designing everything to work with those batteries.
