too bad you weren't able to keep it and the 370 too...

 

Orange with a kit, lowered on black wheels, smoked windows ... daymn that would look hot.

 

Those photos are so over exposed it isn't even funny. They do the car no justice.

They did a good job on the front bumper cover but they still need to put a clip in that rear bumper cover.

 

Rob, how did you do on Sunday?

Also if anyone is interested there is a car meet at scores tonight in Frmington Hills.
Really kind of cool, also the owners Maserati is pretty sweet.

ALOT of Nissans go to this which is pretty cool.

 

Pretty crappy, I don't think I was even be top 3 (42.x).

The course was very technical (which was good). Except the fact that I showed up late cuz I was driving from OH that morning and wasn't able to walk the course. That completely killed me.

I ended up having a hard time figuring out which corners were tight (had to brake hard and late in the middle of the chicago box) and which corners I could exit wider (corner before the last slalom). So I scrubbed my new tires A LOT which completely sucked and killed time. I am glad to have more competition though and watching a stock Z on R-comps get a 40.0x and a 370Z get 40.x on street tires shows that the car is a beast. I honestly feel like if I would have walked the course and taking a longer break in between runs to get my head together I could have gotten down to 41.x But woulda coulda shoulda. Also no vids this time as I forgot to turn on the camera.....Doh!

So yeah, pretty frustrated from the event. But like they said, a bad day at the track always beats a good day at work.

 

I went to the autox at 8:30 and they were still cleaning all the crap left behind by the ABC studios. Supposedly they were shooting for one of their series. I stayed till 9:30 and they still were not done with the cleanup.
I had to be at a picnic in the afternoon so I had to leave. I took EVOLUTION school in June and haven't been able to attend a single SOLO event. Can you believe that

And yeah, I got my new tires (Potenza RE-11) put on. They look beefier than the RE050's and they also felt quieter when road was good. However, when there are small cracks in the road the noise is very high.
I am all excited about the Grattan event this weekend, I am signed up for both the days.

 

Rob, sorry to hear you weren't feelin it man

Deepu, that sucks you had to leave, did they refund your money
That blows man you had to wait and then couldn't go...
Have fun at Grattan!

I am hoping to sign up for some of the events later on in the summer
The break in miles will be complete by the end of the week,
Time to see what this thing can do

 

Deepu, see you at Grattan on Sunday.

 

AJ, you should sign up for the Aug 1 event at Waterford Hills. They have an OTD. Following is the registration link


See you there Lee. Unfortunately, we won't be running same group. May be next year (wishful thinking)

 

pics

 

ok here are they wheels and tires.


the pic with the 4 wheels: the 2 on the right are 17x7.5 wrapped in bridgestone potenza all season 225/50/17. about 50-60% tread life left.

the 2 on the left are 17x8.5 wrapped in bridgestone blizzak snow tires 235/50/17. these tires have less then 1 winter on them. about 95% tread life left on them.

the last 2 are 16x8 rims wrapped in mickey thompson e.t. streets 26x10.5 street legal dot approved drag tires.

 

Those are some nice wheel and tire combo's for someone thats for sure

Deepu, I am really thinking about it, I am going to ask the wife see what she thinks.
I might sign up and go see how I fair in the 370

 

Hey AJ, what color 370z do you have? And are you on Xceedspeed?

Someone had posted a "spotted!" thread on Xceedspeed, said they seen my buddies silver MS3 and was driving a red 370z. Wasn't sure if that was you or not.

 

i think in just about every correspondence i've made with you, i've asked for the price.... not that it matters, but you still haven't given any.

i'm planning to do everything i can to get an older jeep cherokee for the winters. i really need to store my z.

 

Mike
That WAS me.
Are you going to be with the Mazda guys for the Telegraph cruise?
Where are they meeting at, I want to swing by they have been rea;;y nice to me

I am on Xceed-Burst06

 

A couple of sessions and you will move up - trust me.

 

deal fell through. they're still up for sale.

asking for 400 for all four 350z wheels. and 200 for the drag wheels. i also have them up for sale on craigslist, but im asking for a little more on that site. email me if interested please, i dont sign on the site that often. chadi1980@aol.com

thanks.

 

You were correct, I did jump up the run group after you showed me the correct line. I cannot believe I made so much improvement in 2 days. Thank you.

 

My pleasure - again, sorry I had to run. I had some brake issues and I needed to make sure I drove back home with Kenny from mufflers and more - since he has a trailer. Luckily, I made it home OK. Now I need to figure out what to do with my brakes.

 

what happend?
