nice! i'm taking mine to the track today for test and tune..

my buddy needs to get his 911 dialed in, so I may as well give him trouble.

nice I've always wanted to be on a track were slides of that speed are staples. How was it to control at 100? ( after your mind gets over it)

it was pretty good but i am coming from 240's and they have an amazing ammount of angle compared to the z so getting used to less angle does take a bit to get used to/..

i emailed alex over at battle version, and he emailed me back. i told him i definately wanted the tie rods, and to please call me so i could give him my credit card and shipping info. he never called or emailed back. i sent him a few reminder emails, but never heard from him again. i could never find a shop # for him, so i could never get him on the phone.

i think he may be on leave form his shop for the champ car demo thing in san jose. so that may be why he isnt responding, and i know there is another FD event the following weekend. he told me he would be busy this month,a nd i am trying to get this angle mod in before next dd

they should both be making tire screeching noices while drifting. get a lsd, that will make them both screech : )

i know there is quite a bit of east coast drifting at the moment. you might have to drive a couple of hours to get to it, but http://www.lookoutdrift.com/ is a good place to find out about east coast sliding. go to some drift days, you will learn more in 2 or 3 drift days than a year of parking lot practice.

go grab a manual and get to work. they aren't that tough, and i've never done one on a z, but they always seem to take awhile. on jeeps where i usually do them, there is no way to put the assembly on a press to work the bearings on and off, so you just beat them on with a hammer carefully. thats on a solid axles though.
