Ah, modesty. The finest trait of any person.

Joining a forum and offering his help if we have any questions. Classic. :P

How about if you have any questions regarding double posting or forum rules you ask the mods here?

And be quick about those pics!

2 things,
1 I said feel free to ask any questions, if your reading comprehension skills were of a higher priority than your instant need to talk **** you'd understand i was implying ask questions about me or my car
2 if you were a moderator you'd see i flagged it myself immidetly after because i accidentally double posted **** happens thats what mods are there for

don't understand why people think they're king **** of turd mountain but already not a fan, thought this was a community not a fraternity...

STOP!

Jeebus, between these types of messages and all of the stuff addressable by bringing back basic automotive troubleshooting, this is just shid. So cut the crap and start over.

Welcome, OP. In for pics of your fleet.

Don't worry, first impressions aren't a strong suit in this community, but you adapt quick to the ways and things become smooth and everyone gets along. My first impressions weren't that great either but you warm up to the guys after a couple of ignorant posts.

Anyway, welcome to the community.

Pertaining to your Z, dedicated track car? How about a mod list and pictures and what you plan on "dialing back". Always interested in seeing people's set ups.

Pics!!!

Your intro was more fraternity than community. But hey, if you can't take criticism wrapped in a bit of sarcasm than you're in the wrong place (the internet not just this forum).

Regardless, welcome. I'd like to see a photo of the fleet as well.

This is the z
dial back is mostly in the comfort and convenience area as the dash and guages and hvac controls are the extent of whats inside
So far it's got
tein mono flex coilovers
graffti motorsport "k" 4 point harness bar
Omp seats and harnesses (only drive side installed)
sparco d383 wheel
nrg quick release and adapter
kinetix intake
short/mid length headers i don't remember the brand off hand with matching mid/cat delete pipes
stillen exhaust from there back
no name cold air intake
Zex 75 shot wet, on a window switch
and properly tuned at local dyno shop
I'm sure im missing a bunch bought the car off a buddy so I've been on track with it since stock a year ago and its been done right from what I can tell no million hp tire fryer but a blast on a road course and it came with most of the stock stuff so should have plenty of spare parts to find a happy middle ground to play on the street and hit a couple drift events this summer

Curious how your clearance is with that front splitter? I bought a CF one from APR years ago and it never got installed. My bodyshop said it would'nt work with my current setup and my car's been lowered slightly as well.

And if you want to bury the hatchet in this forum, just post up some pix of a Corvette C6 or steer the general conversation in that direction. Works everytime...

haha duly noted go sir
and to be honest its snowing and the car is in nt01 tires no chances of driving it for a couple months tho im good friends with the previous owner and have tracked the car myself and can honestly say that's i think the second or third splitter usually wjen u go off track it gets ripped off can't speak much about on the street only time it was driven on the street was when he bought it and it didn't have the splitter then
