Some ****** ran me off the road into a curb. Wheel has some curb rash, front fascia is scratched up, Lower control arm and some joint is broken. I have to deal with the Insurance company, that's always fun. Actually this is the first time anything like this has happened to me, but I hear it sucks. 
So i'll be lucky to get the car back by next weekend. I'm tring to figure out how to get some wheels out of the deal.

Hey Bill, saw you there again last Friday. I was walking in around 10-11 when you pass by in front of me. I was going to talk to you when you where going to return from the back of the bar but it turns out your left using the back door.

Sorry I didn't see you! I heard that there were a few guys up there tonight -- unfortunately I was out in Milford today and didn't get back to RM. There were some guys there from Teves again and they mentioned that there were three or so Zs there with hoods open. Was that you guys?

I banged up my 240SX, which I figured was worth about $1800. They cut me a check for something like $3500. Done.
I don't know that State Farm is the cheapest (but they're not bad), but certainly they are very easy to deal with IMHO.
Lets get a group together at Gingerman Raceway
Hey guys/gals why don't we get a group of us together and use our cars like they were ment to be used, On A Road Course. Speedtrial USA is holding a lapping day on July 16th https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=80095 I've been to this track a few times with these people and it is a lot of fun. Plenty of room for beginners to advanced drivers, track is wide open with only one area in proximity to a barrier. They do have insructors available although I have not used them so I can't vouch for that part. You will get plenty of track time, usually 5 / 20 minute sessions. If you are leary about driving in this type of situation it is no where as bad as driving around the detroit area, passing is limited to a few areas and only when acknowledged by the passe sp.
So what do you think? Can we get a group together? Sign up soon and lets have some fun out there.
Here is a pic of me coming out of turn 11

Nobody seems to have dynos yet and DC Sports website doen't have much information either. I have read that they are similar, but not identical to the Nismo headers in design. Also, people have installed these without removing the coolant hardline. This will save some time draining and filling the radiator/cooling system.
performancenissanparts.com has this description, "DC Sports Ceramic Headers for the 350z, G35 Coupe or Sedan. These headers are high quality and equal length. 40.1mm Primaries." Their price is $469.
My price is $400 picked up.

I too am interested in JWT Popcharger, I found the following online stores that other members have good buying experience with:
http://350zforums.org/store/
PRice:$127
http://www.performancenissanparts.com/
PRice:$120
Or contact our local mod shop in Novi:

See if Dan has one in stock.
