I got stuck last April in less than an inch of snow and had to work from home. So this year I bought an AWD beater that my dog loves.

Mickey, hopefully I can make the meet, but otherwise let's grab lunch. If your Z hasn't been delivered, we can see how much power oversteer I can get on cold pavement.

etx: Nice setup! I'd love to see it in person.

Come on...the snow isn't that bad! Of course, I do have spring fever... (looking outside holding a golf club).

Has anyone realized that the upcoming B-dubs meet is the day of the Final Four?! Hmmmmmm. Not Good!

Anyway...

GO GREEN!

Ohio G is welcome in my book. I just got back from Newberry Michigan (UP). I didn't drive the Z. They have 3-4 feet of snow. WOW!!!! Snow mobiles everywhere.

well, just got my car back today. had the borla and helix test pipes installed. something is very wrong with the sound. there is a tssssssssss sound when I let off the throttle...sounds likes its coming from the front end. there is also a sort of metallic ratling sount when i get around 3k. i like the deep grumble of the borla but these unexpected sounds are bugging the crap out of me....going to take it to dan on monday to see if its a heat shield rattling or something.

i picked up 15 rwhp an and my torque was up by over 20 with the additions...still its not worth the noise, might have to put the cats back in.

oh well, i'm just going to have some beers tonight and forget that i spent 1700 to add annoying sounds to my brand new car!

your noise might be a leak in your exhaust. probably in the area where you installed your test pipes. as for the rattle, i have that same problem with mine, but only when i get on it when its cold. once it warms up that rattle sound is gone. did you or who ever installed your pipes put in some gasket sealer to help seal that area bettter?

i dont follow too much college basketball, but if anything i'd have to be a UM fan. but what about them pistons eh? im looking at eastern conference champs this year, atleast. big game sunday vs the cavaliers. a "potential" 1st round playoffs matchup.

by the way, if anyone with a lemans sunset z wants to sell their oem (stock) front bumper, let me know. a few chips here and there are no problem, just as long as theres no major damage. name a price.

Thanks guys for letting me join the family! I wish I could make the meet on the 3rd. Family Spring Break vacation begins that day. Oh well, maybe next time.

I also have the same rattle when it's cold at around 3K rpms. I did notice on warmer days it seems less intrusive. I've read in other posts, it's belived to be the RT Cats.

I want to know how many girls we have in our club. My thoughts are that there is nothing better in the world than seeing a hot girl driving a 350Z. Am I the only one wondering???

I saw a beautiful girl in a silverstone 350z on ann arbor rd in plymouth last summer. Hot girl + Hot Z =

It's always nice because you can give them the Z owners wave. They usually just think your weird though.

More pics of the car!

edit: About your guys weird exhaust sound. I just installed the resonated test pipes from Kinetix. they don't fit very well, so I have to send them back. The exhaust is a little louder, but does not make any raspy noises. The driver side pipe is so out of wack it's hitting the heat sheild and making a lot of noise, but that's it. heh. I'm still using the stock catback.

Hmmmmm...I have Kinetix plenum and high flow cats on order. Hopefully the high flow are a good fit. Anyone have these?

BTW, MySunset...add myself and dillandd to the BW3 list. Unsure about heading to the track.

this way we can get a hold of people and pm them or something when we set up meets. most people dont check the local posts too often (im one of them), and might miss out on last minute meet dates. we need more Z's to show up.


lets c how this one works out...add ur names and ill update the list.

hey look, we have one already!

There is already a list of 27 or 28 people on this post. You may have to go back a couple of pages. We are having our first meet on April 3rd at BW3s in Novi at 12pm and then at 3pm a bunch of people are going to Milan to either race or watch the races.

The club is not formal as of yet but it will change on April 3rd.

I don't know Dillandd.

I can't wait for the 3rd. I hope to get my new exhaust this week. Already thinking of the next mod. Maybe a Plenum. I don't know the performance benefits of this mod. If you have any insite, I would surely like to know.

Also thinking of getting my front bumper repainted. Lots of chips (hundreds). It must be the paint on the Bricks. I looked at a buddies blue yesterday and he has almost none at 9K.
