SCDA is offering 20% off their VIR event on 4/6. I'll be there on the 4th and 5th so I was tempted to extend my stay, but couldn't make it fit my schedule.

 

This past weekend at Thompson speedway. First HPDE of season. Felt nice to be out there again.

 

This past weekend was at New Hampshire motor speedway road course. Fun times. Ended up busting a power steering line and will upgrade the cooler. My clamps were those cheap ones that cut into the lines and it ended up backing out, had to tighten it down to get back on track.

 

How are the Kumhos?

 

so far I like em. But FYI my experience with 200 TW tires have only been 3 seasons (Federal RSRR, Falken RT615k, Bridgestone RE71R and now the Kumhos. I the RE71Rs were also a 30 profile sidewall and the Kumhos are a 35. I was faster on the RE71Rs around my local tracks but the Kumhos are not too far behind. The Falken was more enduro style tire and was not as fast and the Federals were good for a first 200tw tire.

So far Kumhos have held up with 3 trackdays. The wear is great and the pace is also what I am looking for. Not sure how to give a tire review so thats what I got unless you have specific questions!

 

we are still here guys! Closing out the year at PittRace towards the end of the month with Gridlife. after that i'll do a debrief of the season! Pic drop from July 4th SCCA time trials @ thompson speedway in CT

 

I check in on this forum a couple times a month just to see whats going on. Glad to see its totally not dead.
Update on the Z - its tucked away for winter with a battery tender on it. In 2025 I drove it a total of....2 miles? the year before that? 64 miles.

Its been a busy couple of years but I have accumulated some parts for it!

Shine auto nismo rep rear bumper and ABS dynamics Nismo rep spoiler have been acquired and I'll wait until I can get the front bumper for a full paint. Sucks because at one point I tossed my OEM side skirts in some random downtown back alley dumpster in Boston after I got the V2 sides. Now since I want to have the Nismo kit, I need those OEM ones to fit the Nismo sides on. If anyone in the New England region has any OEM sides laying around let me know (shot in the dark here).

Would like to get back on track in 2026! I'll try to keep posted with the small mods here and there in 2026!

last pic is from an event in 2021 so its not the most updated one, just thought it was cool as I was looking for things to upload

 

looking good! I just bought an '08 Nismo but will not be taking it to a track.

 

theres still a few of us around lol. let us know if you make it on track next year!

 

I definitely will in the 350Z. but I have a long to-do list. the new rear diff was holding it up.
