Mike bought his Z completely set up. Those brakes are badass, but you can buy a supercharger for the price of them.

Mike - I like how you suggested a $50k car for Patrick. He's talking about affordable cars and low payments and you're like BAM! here's a Porsche. HAHA

Patrick - did you say a back seat is a must? I've seen some 07-08 HR Zs for cheap lately. Maybe even snag a G37 coupe for a low price and get the back seat. You know it's hard to beat the engineering that went into the Z/G.

 

well .... yes... that one was just for reference though - the 98's through 01's are not terrible in price - but are excellent in handling... i fear maint on them though - they were on my radar when i was shopping for a car - so were Gen 3 RX7's -

Travis - I bought my car as is - accept i added shroth harnesses and a few do-dads here and there - I just came out of a LONG build relationship with a Supra and I'm still building the WRX - so i wanted something exactly like my z ready to run

For comparison on the brakes, i thought this was cool. after a track run we shot the temp on my calipers - they were aprox 328df - my buddies toyota celica brakes were aprox 738df! after the same run so - i was runinng faster lap times braking harder in a heavier car (debatable), and my brakes were nearly 400df cooler - i thought that was amazing. All things said and done - i would recommend these brakes to everyone - necessary? meh prob not - but awesome at what they do? yes - and get good tires - crappy tires and good brakes are a stupid combination.

 

i never have liked the 1 series bmw's, i think they look squished, and for whatever reason i think of 'stangs as a girls car dont know why.

obviously get what you like though, that is what is most important..... i used to really want one of those RX-7's but they were too high dollar for me when i wanted one

 

The problem with a '98-'01 Porsche is that it's too old. The bank isn't going to loan him money for an 11-14 year old car.

 

yup ^^ - i was trying to buy a 10k dollar RX7 gen 2 at one point, and the bank was like, i'll give you 2k...... lmao

 

mike, so you were a rolling fool huh....

 

i was Travis, I am totally surprised at how freaking easy that thing made that - i think it took me longer to take my wheel off!

 

Yeah those things are awesome. We had a fender rolling party at Fithamoto's house a few years ago. I think there were 5 of us (4 for sure) that pitched in for the rental so it was a cheap mod for sure.

 

I'll be doing the other side tonight ^^

I want to get some action pictures not the kind of me running red lights - which are currently all i have lol

 

Did someone say fender rolling?

 

Speaking of action pictures... does anyone have a GoPro or something similar that I could borrow this weekend? Chris has one, but he'll be racing with me.

I'm going to buy one eventually. I just need to do more research on the best one to buy.

 

I got a hold of one for me Eric....if you want we can split it and you can use it for a few laps.

 

Thought I would pull a Mike and ***** out pics of my car with a fresh coat of wax

 

Cool pics.

 

Eric you can use mine. Just let me know, I'll be around thru friday.

 

Thanks Scott. How far are you from Fry's Electronics? I need to get by there and pick up a micro SDcard that's on sale. The GoPro uses microSD right?

 

looks good travis - i like the splitter and the location you chose - 3rd pic is boss needs orange tires though -

 

They use a SD card, no micro. But you can use my card if you want.

The Frys on 635 is the closest one to me. 15 min away.

 

Me and me

Remember Patrick, BMW don't allow ridealongs anymore (I guess unless you're cool with the boss)

 

Ya that's the one I go to also. I guess if I can't make it by there I'll use your card. Thanks.
