anyone gonna be there sunday?

 

I'm in on Sunday.

 

I plan on being there, just not sure what time yet.

 

I'm running 2 working 4 (bsp)

 

I installed SS lines tonight and did a brake bleed, it only took 1 bottle of RBF600 fluid before it was filled up to the "max" line, I feel like 1 bottle isn't enough, any input?

 

I don't know what to run after being protested in BSP by EVO guy earlier this year due to car not being formally classed? Guess ASP? Or SM something? The car is formally classed BSP now.

I guess technically since UFO is a year behind and car wasn't classed last year I run ASP. But all fast guys are in BSP? I usually beat all the ASP drivers.

 

I'm running with a bunch of nobodies this weekend....list so far. I'll be happy to finish mid pack in pax with this group.

 

One of my truechoice koni's already has a slight seep....freaking 200mi on them and no events on R-comps.

Edited....SE5spd PM me.

 

seriously the thread got edited? wtf

 

FS posts in non FS related threads. We have designated areas for FS threads.

 

Are you guys talking about Marina Airport Autox? If so what time will you guys be arriving.

 

Yes ...I will arrive around 730

 

sounds good, first time there so let's see how it goes.

 

to all the track junkies: what type of oil and what weight are you guys using?
ive been using M1 fully synthetic and K&N oil filter. All the people I go to tracks with say if I continue abusing my car with M1 (tracking) ill blow my motor pretty quickly???

any input from anyone?

 

I'm planning on arriving around 7am, blue 04 350z, running BSP, see you guys there.

 

does anyone know what Zs normal oil temp is?
mine sits anywhere from 210-220 during normal driving. during slight aggressive it sits at like 220. I have a filter sandwhich so it reads threws the oil on the filter im assuming?

 

Fun day! I was testing my more mild street setup today raised car to more tolerable ride height closer to stock and ran a lot less negative camber and stock rear suspension arms. Car felt big on today's course but it did still turn well. I experimented with lower tire pressures 28 rear 30 front and car felt more planted than when I run 32 r 34f.

Think Scott showed everyone what a prepared class Z race car can do. My street car did ok in street prepared class along with Chris. We were two of faster cars in our run group.

What was up with slalom in run group 2? I had two runs sort of wrecked by cones out of place. I probably should have asked for reruns but I really just do UFO for fun so didnt bother. I managed a high 46 but the run wasn't pretty. I overshot last turn and was out in the marbles. The car likely had a 45 in it with a driver faster than I.

I can't wait to start my steet prepared class build on the 370z later this year. I think this car with 250 lbs pulled out, 30 more hp, slightly bigger tires and race seats with harnesses will be fairly quick car. I have to figure out how I can run without full tank of gas. That 20 gallon tank adds a lot of fuel weight.


Thing that amazes me about 370 z is I'm hurdling 3500 lbs of car, fuel and driver around at it's current stage and I watched cars less than half it's weight fly around at times I was sure were faster than me but when I checked the Z was faster! When I'm at the wheel I feel like I'm slow but I guess the car is hustling? I'm so used to race cars that this street going z just makes everything seem smooth and relaxed?

 

he pwn everyone?

 

He was fast with a low 46 but I think some prepared and modified cars may have got faster times. But overall I think we had a few Zs in top of class position. While Scotts car is techinically a prepared class car he runs in SM2 and think he beat everyone in class. My 370z grabbed ASP and Chris won BSP. Lol! UFO events are more of a big fun party than a true competitive event. How many AX events you know allow drifting? Very fun as it's a great crowd but I don't really take results at these events seriously. Season winners are people who show up for every event in a given class as points are not much different from first on down. So if you miss an event you're out of the running.

SCCA or AAS are the serious events where we get strong fields.

 

With his wing...the only thing in prepared he is legal for is XP.

I ran like poop today at my autocross. 9th out of 23 in the pro class. 1.2s behind 1st (Strano in the SS Vette). Fail.
