Daijiro in the Silvia took it, but it didnt really matter since Hubinette in the Viper won the title for the year anyway when he clinched his spot in the semi-final which kind of made the "final" battle pointless to watch

That damn traffic on the 605 on the way out F#@$#@D..

According to Sirius Traffic, there as an injury accident in the carpool lane with an overturned car. I just hope it wasn't some J@#$SS trying his new drifting moves. Sat in traffic for about 35 min until Beverly, then back tracked back up to the 60 and across.

Rad, I left you a message letting you know NOT to take the 605.

Still had a fantastic time.. Rick - you definitely keep up with this stuff.

Ok, you had the white Z.. You are going to be my next VORTECH brethren! Nice meeting you. Where were you two during the event, did you find more of the group to hang with?

Yeah that traffic was horrible. Had to change dinner plans and locations on "hanging out." It killed my chances of getting some poon.

LOL I don't really follow the series at all haha

Yea traffic after event was hell. Over turned SUV (really bad) along with two other cars involved soon after the Beverly East exit. I didnt mind sitting for so long after seeing the damage and glad it wasnt me involved.

The event was fun, but cold! I guess it pays to have a suite to walk in when it starts getting cold.

I got there before 2:30 for sure and I circled around the parking lot a couple times to look for any Z's, but I didn't see any. I was in my friends Silver IS350, couldn't bring my car because I didn't finish changing my Vortech bearings in time. I did see a Orange Z with bronze rims at the Jack in the Box drive-thru. Where did you guys park, because the parking lot was packed with customers when I got there.

Ya, but the last drift couple was pretty good. Sucks that the two 350z's both crashed and got knocked out. The AEM 350z was really good too. Don't know about the roadster because it crashed on its first time out...I really wanted to see it drift too.

DMK, you are replacing your VORTECH BEARINGS? On the idler pulley or what bearings are you replacing? How many miles do you have on your unit?

My unit ate the cog belt last week, ripped the teeth right off. Jamie at Vortech sent me out another one the next day free of any fees! Good customer service!

Got the bearings replaced in the Jackshaft housing since they went bad at under 5k miles. Also, I replaced all 3 idler pulleys just in case. Thanks to Vortech for overcharging me on the bearings....

No ****! Bearings went out that early? Still under warranty? You send the unit back to them for replacement of the bearings?

Thanks for any info!

Supercharger is the only thing covered by warranty. Everything else is only 30 days.
