Scott mentioned you picked those up. Good buy!
Full cage eh, are you looking at gt challenge soon? I'm either going gt challenge next year or buying something else (bspec or open wheel).

If you couldn't tell. I'm jealous of your car. Nice.
I thought about cutting out my central section of the INGS+1 but I was worried it would alert the authorities to check out my car.

Will Ed's new shop have a dyno + support for Uprev?
With SG gone and things going sour at APH between Ed and the guys there, I'm left deciding what to do with my upcoming mods.
PPE Longtubes + Tomei cams and I'll need a retune as well. *stumped*

I hope ed's new shop grand opens up early april - sucks what happens but it's good that he's moving on.
my car is a lil noisy biatch until I get the rotors swapped - so not driving it at all until I get it into the shop. Never could hear the squeal with loud house music + windows rolled up -_-
impromptu old school Z meet there for grand opening? ;p

Weighed my car today.
Track wheels and tries and OEM passenger seat were in the car. Ive already subtracted my weight and what was in the gas tank.
Drumroll.......
2880lbs! Based on a stock weight of 3247lbs, that's over 350lbs out of the car.
With the passenger seat out, this brings me down to around 2835. I classed my car for CASC as 2820, so Im right where I want to be.
However...
I have a free point to use, and I can use it to drop below 2820. All the way to 2700 dry in fact. Is it possible, to lose another 100lbs out of this thing?
hmmm. Rear hatch, fenders, rear shelf, headlights, door panels, glass..... Only problem is I need most of those to run street class in CSCS.
Or do I just try and drop another 15lbs and get right to the 2820 mark. Actually, more like 25lbs since my splitter wasn't on. The AC is still to come out, which will be nearly it right there.

Hi guys
I am new to this forum and just thought Id drop a line and say hi to all the locals.
So about me, I am 25 and live in London, I am finishing up a grad program at Fanshawe College for Business Marketing. I sold my black 02 RSX type s around Christmas time and have been roaming autotrader, kijiji and a couple forums ever since trying to find my next car. It was between a g35 or the 350z. I test drove multiple cars. I ended up picking a clean stock black 03 350z track package with just over 100km + two tone leather interior.
I LOVE it so far, except for the increase in fuel costs which was to be expected with going up to a 3.5. Ive owned the car for a couple weeks. I have installed a alpine w505 double din and built a custom sub box that fits 1 alpine type r 12 while still maintaining a decent amount of trunk room - I have blue prints available if anyone is interested
I look forward to roaming this forum for the next couple years, I know not to ask questions before searching. I hope we all get along!
