Interested in the Pinks Z: Want the motor? Details within...
Interested in the Pinks Z: Want the motor? Details within...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, were going to do a raffle for the longblock that will go into the Pinks car.
We've decided to do this as such, we will sell tickets @ $26 per ticket, that way it should be w/ in everyones budget to a degree. We must sell a minimum of 275 tickets. We'll cap sales at 325 tickets or 5 days after the 275 mark has been broken, whichever occurs 1st.
In buying these raffle tickets you will be helping fund the pinks build so that we can complete the car, and bring the most competitive S30/L block to pinks that is presently possible!
We cannot talk specifics of the motor on unsecured forums, but it will be safe to say that even if you bought $1000 in raffle tickets, you'd still be making out like a bandit if you won...
What i will say is this, 7.79:1 CR motor, so silly amounts of boost, forged parts, coatings, and a lightened/balanced assembly. Fast and strong...
That being said, i want it to be abundantly clear in how this will work, this is a raffle for the complete longblock from valve cover to oil pan out of the Pinks car engine bay. In this raffle you will be bidding on the motor we will be racing in the actual car, this is a show based around the premiss of gambling. That being said the tickets being sold in this raffle, are being sold with the known factor that the raffle will only go through in full, if we win the race, if we do not win we are at the mercy of the competitors. I want that to be abundandtly clear to ANYONE who intends on purchasing tickets.
If you purchase a ticket, and are the winner of the raffle, you would be asked not to publish anything about it until AFTER the show airs. Meaning if you intend to get on other forums and brag about having the Pinks motor, put it on ebay, talk about it in a blog, whatever... we'd ask that you wait until the episode has aired.
The drawing for the raffle would be done once we have returned home, we would either do a live webchat, or notify the winner via e-mail, or if the board see's fit, i'm considering trying to get Rich to draw the ticket right there on air, then leave everyone in suspense until the show airs. The winner will be responsible for getting the engine to there doorstep, we'll work w/ shippers and all that, but the fee's involved are on the shoulders of the winner. Tickets would be awarded in numerical order as they are claimed.
This all having been said, we will begin taking ticket purchases now.
If you want to purchase a ticket:
We will be accepting paypal, cash, cashiers check, etc... the sooner your payment, the sooner you have secured a ticket basically.
If paying by paypal:
- Paypal to GuyStrtRcr18@hotmail.com
- Include your board name, and what board you are from in the additional information box! Can't keep track of screen names if we don't have yours!
- Include your home address.
This is not my post but that of one of the main build guys.
There is a lot work going into the car and it is going to be VERY fast compared to my quick little 260...It is a GAMBLE so donater beware. If they get enough donations then they will use a good motor. If there aren't enough tickets sold your money WILL be returned.
Thanks for the help guys.

This is a raffle to fund the motor and to win the motor only but not the entire car?
Isn't Pink's: lose the race, lose your car(+engine)...?
So y'all gotta win, right?
EDIT: oops, I reread it & you clarified that in your post...!
Whatever the case, I think this thread should be moved to the Z-ZX forums for the most responses...cause I'm sure we wouldn't want to see a Z asking for 20 car lengths on the final race!
