HI,

I had the pleasure of losing it at our local autoX event and LUCKILY coming to a stop inches from a pole.....

check it out!

Umm, I would have wet my pants like a 2 year old.

 

God that sucks man, Im glad you and your z are alright. Lucky manuevering though. BAWLIN!!

 

SAFE!!!! , glad you didnt hit.

 

SO tell us the story of how it happened.

 

Nice save.

 

I had the pleasure of seeing Jason "drift" thru the same gate twice this weekend. We found out later what was causing his "drift" events to happen -- he was mashing the pedal too much instead of modulating it. If you look at the last picture, my Z was next in-line to run and I was at the starting point when this happened. I'm just glad he did not slam into that pool, considering the skid marks leading to it.

 

Yikes, that was a close one!

 

i would have made love to that pole for not hurting my z...lol

 

High HP/torque disease = the throttle is an on/off switch.

Learning to modulate the throttle is the key for a good driver.

 

Actually, if you look closely at the first picture, it was a cone that he should be hugging. The cone may have slowed down and possibly stopped his Z from hitting the pole.

 

ya....i lost it in the weirdest spot....

i know my throttle was a big culprit.......but i did have some crappy rear tires.....

i couldnt push the car at all because i could feel the rear end coming out.

Im definatly buying some competition tires. i doubt ill be back at the next even until i have them.....

i should hopefully have them next month..

Op, where did you get a sunroof installed at in your Z, and are you having any issues with it. By the way you must thank the Z gods for not taking your baby away.

 

I don't get it.

 

i was about to ask.. does the 350z now come with sunroofs?

 

I can just see the look on the course workers faces that were around that pole now.

Glad you did not dent that pole...

 

manufacturer: Webasto
Model number:Hollinda Medium 300

I had it installed local in sa, tx at classic softtrim for $969 total.

Ive searched on here and others quote prices in the 750 range....so i guess i payed too much!

but check out the webasto web site. and search against my name and "webasto" and you will find info.

oh ya: absolutely NO leak or anything issues!

be sure to have it installed with a relay like webasto recommends.
