Acree - does it have to be 06+? I'd be willing to help out, but I've got 05 bumper and headlights.

Travis, it's time for you to try autocrossing yourself. Number of Z attendance shouldn't have any bearing on yours. Just do it! You won't regret it. BTW, daily tires actually get used up less than stickier rubber, hence the higher treadwear rating. Quit making excuses.
Mike, it's not YouTube that's having the problem. It's Facebook, and it's just hiding and selectively showing my posts. And I went underneath the car today and nothing seemed broken. I am hearing some new sounds, though.

I have a huge favor to ask of someone here in the metroplex. I am finishing up a full LED headlight conversion for a member here on the forums who is not local. I need to ensure that the lights do not hyper flash with the turn signal on.
Is there anyone with a 2006+ 350Z who possibly has their front bumper off, or would be willing to take it off while they're doing another project and simply let me plug one of my headlights in and test it? It would take less than 10 minutes of your time.

Mike, so there is only a beginner and advanced.....Nothing in between ?
$225 sounds pretty stepe for a one day event....but you, say it is 2 hours of seat time.....how is that broken up ?
I would love to go down there...but for a one day event it sounds like a lot.

its absolute mayhem - it is an average amount of money for one day all things considered - prob not totally cost effective - but it is a pretty good time - it is part of the tx2k13 event -
you read it right - nothing in between - advanced / beginner - think of it like a members day with sessions - its like advanced runs - beginners run, advanced runs - beginners run, advanced runs beginners run - lunch - repeat -
i'm crashing (prob not a choice word) at a buddies place on the floor or couch unless enough pull together for a room - because i don't have any Marriot reward points left
- would be really fun with all of us running the same session - similar power levels etc - i would have a slight advantage because i have darth vader riding shotgun - but other than that meh -
usually do a lil convoy down on weds for those of us doing track day - some stay in houston - for the event so they drive from there thursday morning on track day - i've always made a habit of sleeping as close to the track as possible for obvious reasons (700am is EARLY lmao)

This is a full set of LED headlights, similar to the clearcorners.com setup. I'd post pics but not sure about the whole sponsorship thing.
Unfortunately the Z must be a 2006 or later due to the wiring difference. I have to test the car's hyper flash operation.
I have a fully functional Bose or a fully functional non-Bose headunit for anyone who lets me use their car. You can use it, sell it, whatever you want.

Fith - you should let Acree use your car for the headlight test. You'd get a backup Bose head unit out of it. lol
I'm actually curious to see the mod. I'm sure Fithamoto wouldn't get in trouble for posting the pics.

I have your vids downloaded on my computer. If you come out to TMS I can try to put them on a DVD.
