From my exp, MD is a lot better than VA. They usually don't bother you.
I've been moving between Fairfax county in VA and Montgomery county in MD back and forth for the past few years, this is 100% true.

If anyone feels like breaking their car out for a weekend. There is an autocross at Virginia Motorsports Park on Feb 3 with Nasa. I plan on going, though I won't be bringing the Z down. I'm happy to hop in and instruct if you guys want to come down and give it a try. Good news is the event does not start until Noon (meaning you get there around 1030). Bad news is that is about 20 mins south of Richmond.

Seems like Mid-A simply wants to see Shin admit and say, "Yes, in fact I DID hit & run a family off the road and left those poor bishes in the gutter to rot and die while I made a getaway. They were driving too slow anyways and shouldn't even be on the road. They deserved to get hit... fawkin' speed-limit driving fools. I ain't guilty till I get caught! *burn rubber*"

Something along those lines? Or am I a little bit off?

forgot to say "bruh" at the end. Other than that, pretty spot on.

I got some $hit

Few guys here have been shooting with me, Clay has shot the entire arsenal. Been a looooong time since I had time to go shoot. With things how they are I won't be shooting my ammo away either.

I've been having my eyes on the Motordyne TDX2 for awhile now, I really haven't heard anything better. It's kind of expensive but I mean if you're going to spend the money once you might as well do it right and please yourself the first time instead of throwing nickels at your car.

Speaking of cops, I have never been looked at before besides this last weekend. I was doing nothing but cruising along and all I got was a warning (which I'm very thankful for). I'm just trying to make sure they don't start jumping on me once they see some titanium tips sticking out of the back.

Ive gotten pulled over in Baltimore City for my GReddy Ti-C when the silencers were out. They mentioned the exhaust but they said the main reason for the stop was a sobriety check. Hadnt had a drop but it was 2a.m. so I understand why they pulled me over. Seems like they used it for a reason but didnt really care. No warning just one of those police contact things.

As an aside I am more scared to be pulled over by a BCP than a MSP... I dont why. It just always gives me the creeps.

I think most of us have titanium tips at this point. I had a rear skirt molded on when I had my bodykit installed and it does a good job of hiding them. Not sure if you want to go that route though?

What size? Mine are CCW Classics race version (full swiss, not cut for centercaps, Ti hardware, and reverse mounted). 18x11 up front 18x12 in back. Car goes up for aero in a few weeks as well. Rear two piece rotors for the brembo calipers will be here today. Hoping with 1g of gas in the tank the car is around 2900lb w/o driver. Still full interior sans radio/ac.

1g of gas? Won't the G forces cause some pickup issues? Can't imagine you running that little fuel!

Miss my stock block FI setup. 380whp @ 3125lbs was perfect for most things not too overwhelming.

We ran it down to .8g without starving in testing, but generally run 2g (2.5 on concrete) to be safe. On concrete in sustained radius (pretty close to the magazine 200' skidpad radius test) we see up to 1.3g of force, which is way beyond what any street car can do. Up to 1.55g transitional in slaloms. Big, soft compound race tires ftw.
