Where did you order your pole positions and how long did it take to receive them? I'm wanting to order some soon.

I ordered on 5-22-14 and got them 5-23-14. Next Day delivery! im in southwest Houston and they came from the DAllas area.
I ordered them from Autrey Mcvicker owner of DWSPARTS.com Hes on facebook as well. Great guy, very straight forward, No bS, no shady vendors, just a guy willing to help you get something you like depending your budget. Lots of friends here in Texas buy from him.

I think I have the last pole positions here in the US. but I could be wrong, just call and ask him.

I don't think im going FI. I have been toying with the idea for a long time, Lots Pros and Cons, and simply it comes down to money. Been saving for these seats for a long time, I skipped out on lots of track events and Nismo fiesta to get the funds. Unless I win the Lotto or get married to a generous wife who supports my passion, I don't see it happening on the horizon. I know I can get smoky to retune the Z. Been keeping updates on topsecret. But that simply boils down to more $$$. He will come to anywhere you are. Just have to accommodate his expenses.
I might get a sparco harness bar instead of a cage.

I hear ya homie. FI are known to have problems from all the FI owners I've talked to. And it's always about the $$$ lol. Take your time homie, glad you haven't sold your Z yet like all the other old school members I know.

Got all these parts installed yesterday except the seats.
Got the master and slave cylinder replaced, damn clutch would stick.

Finished that. then went on the exhaust...



Wanted Tomei test pipes but no one in the USA has them since they are backed up on orders with no ETA, went with berks.

Got the oil changed today, picture time
