lol if your going to get ur front resprayed you might as well get a new bumper. thats wut i did. and a clear bra would do some good but is very expensive. and yeah i see that but you should get out and go to meets and hear exhausts and look at stances to see wut you are in to or like then you get ideas. thats wut i did but its hard for me cuz i have a brickyard

The 350z scene was hot in the bay area 5 years ago. The San Jose meets, the treasure island, east bay meets, unfortunately A lot of people moved on already.

Most of the guys are on facebook and dont really come onto the forums much. A bunch of us still meet once a month for dinner and chill. Usually end up at a Tap-Ex after and just chill.

Most of us were stock at one point. Its no fun to buy an already modded car. I got a lot of help and ideas from members at the meets when I was new here.

The last Treasure Island meet I did had a huge turnout. It was awesome and followed it up with a cruse to Alameda. The yearly BBQ had some awesome turnouts too but stopped doing them because it got dead.

I would host the yearly BBQ again but not sure if there is enough interest. I might be able to pull out some of the OG's to come out and hang out if we have a BBQ.


I will start posting up the monthly meet info if people are interested.

yea seems dead comparded to socal thread,stop some z's and mention this site. i did to like 4 z's in my area back in 08*09 and now there always on this site lol but yea a lot of people moved on seeing that the z's are being more reachable by teens and what happens when you get teens and speed mixed together? immaturity, burnouts, street races, collisions..i have a feeling that the whole 240sx heads is going to shift to 350z hellaflush faze in a year or so and take over this site. I wanted to get another z but think im going to save and get a nsx since those are rarly seen on the roads.

i am too lol well 18 going on 19, but it all depends on the persons maturity really. only kids who dont know what the car is worth to them. me on the other hand worked my butt of for this car so i would never dare put it in danger of getting messed up. with that said, i would not put myself into that category of racing burning out and all that stuff said above

"That's what they all say..."

jk.

I too am 18 and I'm just too in love with my Z to do anything with it. lol.

Bought my Z a month ago and it is the best purchase I ever made, I never thought driving could be so fun (My first MT car).

Yeah forreal though, I don't see much Z's in my area, only Z I know is my rich friend with a 370.
