And Nexx has a point in a sense that there is no "Z scene". Just a community of us car enthusiasts appreciating all platforms.
there is most definitely a Z scene here in the MID A I am sorry if your area does not have one


JB Congrats on the ride!!! come out saturday to the AutoX???

I met JB at Function Tuned the day he got his new hatch installed and its what inspired me to join the "scene" and get in the "game". You may just have a "community" of "car" "enthusiasts", but no one gets more enthusiastic about their cars than in the Mid-A.

Im also pretty enthusiastic about "quotation marks"

I'm aware of that. We have one here too.

I just like to promote a unity amongst all makes...minus the ricers of course.

lol I honestly dunno why you always got to go to regional forums and act like an ass/ a fool. Like OP said we all know each other well in this region and OP's choice of words have distinct meaning to us. Yes I said "us" meaning something that you would not understand. We actually have a exclusive 350z scene in this area if you've ever been around. It's better for you to just stop acting like a child and mind your own business.

IIRC Active Yaw Control came on the Evo 9 MR as well.

Thanks for the congrats folks. I have the 2010 EVO X Touring. The full leather heated Recaro seats are the bomb!! They wrap around me like a glove. I dont know what to do with my left leg though since theres not a clutch to push in or pop.. Oh well. Enjoying breaking it in. Thus far I am just trying to get the Z stripped down and turned in. When I figure out what hub size my secrect 19 x 8.5 rims I have stowed in my garage are I might thow some Nitto NTO1's on the stock BBS rims and come on out to the track. Definitly plan to Auto X this thing so keep me in mind folks. AAM Stage II plus a few extra goodies for the Evo in Jan = 100 + HP for under $3,000.00. Definitely cant do that with the Z, no matter how many bolt ons you get.

Thus far there is a huge EVO vs STI community out there that I wasnt aware of. The hate is HUGE!! No wonder the STI I park next to every day leaves dirty notes on my windows. LOL.. Oh well... I am truly going to miss the revs on the Z most of all... Nothing beats a Carbonetics Diff and sliding around curves.....

Nope.

Although I would like to know how the hell can you get the EVO X to 2700 lbs like Abui said...

Yeah, I saw that article after seeing your post. But they do not explain how the hell did they achieve that!!

Ripping seats, plastic and sound deadening is not going to save that amount of weight....

Mad carbon fiber will though. LOL. Lite weight exhaust an a couple of other things. I would be curious to know what exactly they did to drop that much weight.
