if you look up the oil analysis threads, thats where most people send their's out to. you might wanna ask Resolute to look at your results when you get them back, he knows alot about that stuff...

Taking her to Bello Motorsports this week for a final alignment for Sebring. Feels like the rear toe of the Z is a bit off. For those in the area, Ernie Bello knows alignments and suspension for racing conditions. Its the best $150 you will spend. Probably going to opt for a more aggressive setup this time around.

We went with just standard size ferreas. Didnt see the need for oversize.
Car did well this weekend despite being about 95+ degrees outside, which made for 120+ degree temps inside the cabin. Actually ended up having my first spin when the track was real slick from the heat, kind of happy that it happened so I got it out of the way. The car is really driving well on the track. I was playing with a 2008 Carrera S all day, all over him in the corners but that thing just pulled in the straights. It did have at least 25whp on me, and about 150-200lbs lighter. Next things on the list are better coilovers, new bushings all around, and stepping up to Hoosier slicks!

New update!
Well the firm I work for decided to sponsor the Z so coming in the next 2-3 weeks are new JIC race coilovers, nismo bushings, and roll over protection of some sort. The price between a 4pt roll bar and full cage is small, so I'm undecided. Got some thinking to do..

They werent being very accommodating, and werent offering a very discounted price from list. Going with JIC after a talk with the regional rep about their new race flagship setup. Going to go with custom spring rates, havent determined them yet though.

Have a potential invite to drive in racing demonstration at PBIR this weekend to get people into the sport...will keep you guys updated.
Also, we chose today to do a 4 pt roll bar, with some door bars coming forward to prevent the doors from coming in a side impact. I guess you could call it a 6 pt, but it isnt a full cage. Going to take out the JL system as well, time to do it BIG! lol
