Yes I do ,, I wanted to post some pics but the website doesnt work right now.

so you hate me more now ? :P

yeh I agree with something between CSCS and CASC .
CASC is soo easy to be much higher in class with just some easy mods...
but
CSCS isnt that great but more interessting for me ! as they allow much mods before you are forced into the next class !!

CSCS will be fun, some serious cars come out to it. I hear Sasha is making 900hp or something now, so hopefully he makes it out.


My latest purchase:



few yards of 1x1 carbon fiber. Have a few things to make, will post as they come about.

where did you get new wheel studs?

Mine have been abused, tightened and re-tightened. For years by hand with a X shape tire iron and me just given'er with all my strength.
Figure for safety I really should get some new ones.

I never used a torque wrench til 2011.

Yeah I saw that.
Nice achievement.

I just know when it comes to increase my power, after considering the options and almost supercharging....

It has to be the sikky LS swap. less expensive and more reliable than the others with more power and torque. Miniscule increase in weight with the aluminum LS's, with lower center of gravity.

I agree. I personally would never chase an all motor build, and probably won't boost the engine either (although I may rebuild someday).


My plans for the Z are to be a car I learn on, and play with on lapping days and time attack. For that, 300hp will always be enough. Next year or the year after if I can afford it I want to bring it up to CASC GT racing, or build a B-spec CTCC car (showroom stock class for the fit/sonic).

There is a thing that find it funny ,
when I had my 350z roadster 2007 with the Velside Ver3 bodykit + their wing +BC coilover+swaybar+track pad the roadster was @ 3600lbs vs my 370z @ 3320

my time at shannonville with the roadster at the end I was doing an average of 2:05-2:06 and then with the 370z w/ 280whp (probably +40whp over my previous HR)
I was able to do an average of 2:04-2:05

soo I must have driven badly ! but my video doesnt seem that bad for a time of 2:04ish...

Im thinking was it all about aero on the 350z ??? from the bodykit and a rice wing ? its not really a question but just a remark


I'm anxious to try Shannonville again and Cayuga !!!
I dont think im gonna wipe you guys but destroy any of your time !! ..
hehe joking im just going to slide off track for trying!

Still needs a clear coat, but I wanted it to finish curing with the slight bend in the console.

Carbon fiber radio delete. Weighs a total of 20grams!

Big day with the hammer today.

Dont think the hammer can really be used to take any more sound insulation off. The rest will be converted to dust. 5.6 pounds weighed in.

Screw this weather. I saw multiple 350s and a boxter out today while I drove my miserable focus around. Tomorrow I am putting my bloody car back together and putting it back on the road, I can't take this anymore.

I want but hav too much on the go.

I was reading about the SG Motorsports car, the suspension was bottoming out with the downforce added to the car so they needed to go to stiffer components.

Do you think that will be a problem?

I am thinking based on all the weight coming out of the back, the new cusco lsd, and sway bars, the back end might be a bit happy now. Might be solved with wider rears, or maybe a rear wing?
