I had to wash it. I can't stand seeing nice cars that need to be washed. If all I have is two days of sunshine, I'll take it.

yah..went there to bleed my brake line. Their labor rate to install BBK kit is half of what other people charges and the quality is REALLY good.

BTW, do you use Stoptech on your car? Mind if i can have a ride in your car to see how different they are compare to Rotora since Stoptech keep bashing about Rotora. hehe

haha sure if you would give me a ride in yours. And yes I have the Stoptechs 14" f&r.

I really don't think Rotora is as bad as some people say tho...I highly doubt we could feel the difference unless we use them at the track to compare fading and stoping power after 10 laps of something...

I'll PM you my number.

i can ask Rickdog to test that out with you since he track his car with Rotora. But after this discussion

https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/177293-rotora-8-piston-bbk.html

hopefully Stoptech cool down on their aggressive marketing method.

yea I read that. Oh well...Even though I'm running Stoptech, I don't really care what either side has to say. I know I'm happy with my BBK and that's what matters. And I'm sure you like yours too. Variety is always good in the aftermarket...lowers the prices when the number of competitors rise.

About a month ago. I needed to do something because power is useless without traction. In about 2 weeks I'm going to sqeeze some 295x35x18 drag radials on the back. 255x40x18 up front.

Do you have an ETA on your car yet? Hopefully you will get it back in time for Z Car Nationals. It should be an interesting drive with all of the FI cars on I-5 to say the least.

The car is running great right now. I want more power, but unfortunately I have to pay off some bills first. By the end of the year I hope to be running around 16psi with a smaller pulley. Although it would be great to have 700whp or 800whp, my goal is 600whp @ 18-20psi. Goodluck with your project, it should be insane.
