I've got at least 2 sets of non brembo fronts and 5 sets of non brembo rears. Anyone is welcome to them. I think they'll fit all 05+ Z/G.

Bummer for the tires Gavin.....Maybe I'll get lucky with the new tires and have a chance to get close to you....but doubt I'll beat you still. Need more seat time....and instruction.

Hey remind me to put that VQ challenge Accounting folder in my car for the event !

Thanks, guys, for the generous offers. I have all the 03 brake stuff. It was just that I didn't have the correct rotors that I ordered for my new brakes. I just purchased a set of generic blanks as a temporary fix until my actual rotors that I ordered come in next week.

Chris you should still come and drive on what you have since your gonna be replacing them anyways...you can heat the Shiet out of them and not worry about them !

** Also, I may not be a ble to snag the Canopy for this event.....my company is having their picnic on Sunday.....so they might already have it packed ready for the weekend. So if any one else hase one and can bring it...please do. Otherwise everyone needs an umbrella for some shade.

Just got some Hankook Ventus V12s put on my new enkei pf01's. Put them on last night and drove on them for the first time today. Looks pretty aggressive with the +15 and 255/275 tires. I like it but now the G is really begging for a drop. I did hear the rear fenders scrap going over a bump/drop on the road at speed. Haven't noticed anything on the front yet.

It also looks like Jake is available Fri evening to replace my rear diff with the solid bushings.

I'll be out there hella ealry... and hella tired I'm sure. Getting excited!

They ate kinda nice but they won't last long obvioulsy if you daily drive on them. You can look at my nt05's on Saturday to get a feel for how fast they wear. They are also shaved lower than most tires. I think 6/32nd of an inch.

Wow looks like it's gonna be a pretty small group on Saturday. I only see 42 people registered as of now and I think registration closes here pretty shortly.

Yay for Grill and Shade!

Food list looks pretty complete to me. Coffee would be good... but maybe that's just me cause I'll be getting up at 4:30am to get there about 6:30a lol.

Doing the rear diff bushings and fender rolling with Jake tonight and can't wait to try all the new stuff out!
