I am an ignoramus when it comes to fixing this.
Just watched a video. Looks like hell on Earth.
This is one you pay someone to do.

geez, lose some weight fatso! :P What wheels was that with? I bet stock are heavy, that could be 40lbs there.
What wing are you going with? GT300?
I think I have completely decided against doing CSCS events, for a number of reasons, but mainly cost. If I do the minimum 7 events in CASC this year, it will run 1100 in event fees alone. If I do the MIR events/school, thats another 1200 on top. This does not include gas and food (easily $100+/event), wear on the car and consumables. Probably looking at about a $5000 budget for this year as it is, not counting car development.
I hate racing.

Ive been trying a little bit to lose weight but it doesnt work very good ,, im at 185lbs.
Right now the Z is still in winter mode ,, so it was with the stock 18'' & 225 winter tire....
my track wheel are 20bs & 21 but on 285 square setup for 2012. (its gonna be a bit more heavy)
I also installed the stock brake setup for the winter and my AP Racing BBK is quite more heavier than stock (not the akebono)
I say with all the mods I will be back at 3500lbs (including driver+1/2 tank of gas)
yeah im going with the GTC300 + gurney flap , still waiting for a quote ...
I will be working on the splitter this weekend hopping to finish it with bracket and everything.

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread to post in but I am looking for anyone that has dealt with www.advancepowerhouse.com in Toronto.
I am looking for the best place to have my soon to be boosted Z in Ontario. They are an Uprev tuner and I will be running Uprev Osiris tuner but would like to hear some feed back if there is any out there Or if there are any other shops that any of you know of in Ontario that are up to the task and know WTF they are doing. Thanks in advance guys.

Been looking for stock cats but can't find any. I found OEM "replacement" cats on kijiji but seller wants like $200-$300 for one side.
What do all the guys do that have test pipes, long tube headers, or are boosted?
