The boss comes up to me and says I have to go home early cause I've accumulated to much OT in two weeks when we're not supposed to have any at this time. Don't have to tell me twice!!! I'm outta here..

Exit, stage left! lol

So I am shopping for a rear sight aperture since my Remington 597 .22LR doesn't have one. WTF...

Maybe I should buy the tactical kit for the gun.

Edit: got a 9x scope, just need to find a riser or something. It sits too low for the rifle.

Well Gents, I'm back, and now the proud owner of a 2008 Base 350z!

That stupid spoiler had to go.
I was a but surprised when I got there to find it's sitting on coil overs. I knew it was a bit low, but i assumed it was at best some springs.

I managed to get 10 min on a lift today, and got an inspection done. The coil-over units are stance, so.. not great. It's also got some camber arms and toe arms in the rear. I knew about the borla exhaust, but didn't know it was missing a clamp.. That explains some of the drone on the way home.

Unfortunately, i already bought a set of SPC camber arms, and I need stock toe arms for the setup I'm going to run.

Anyone want some rear end alignment parts? or a stupid spoiler?

Are you going to keep the open diff or get an LSD installed?

It desperately needs an LSD.. Right now, i'm torn between a Nismo or an OS Geiken. It's just rounding up that $1500+ for a good diff.

I wonder if the rev matching on the 370 could ever be integrated to a 350.

Damn, that's a nice Z. I can't believe how little he's asking for it.

Did someone say free parts? lol

What kind of spoiler was it?

I don't really want a torsen.. they do weird things to the handling on cars with this much horsepower and this much tire.. a clutch type is far more predictable.

... Cheap.. not free
But some trades could be arranged.. I need some stock toe arms (Spring buckets) to replace the aftermarket ones. Not allowed to change the spring mounting point in the rule set.

I have no idea who made the rear spoiler..
it looks like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-08-Nissan-350Z-Stillen-Street-Scene-Urethane-Rear-Window-Roof-Spoiler-Wing-/321093688847?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A350Z&hash=item4ac2acde0f&vxp=mtr
And that would be free... i don't care what happens to that thing..

Sorry, I have no parts to trade with you. I actually have the OEM strut brace and sway bars, but that's it.

It's stock except for that Borla exhaust.. Still, 306hp rated is nothing to scoff at.

I signed the papers, Walked out of the dealership, put my bag in the car, took a picture, then ripped it off and threw it in the back.

It's in my storage garage never to be mounted to my car again.
