It will be nice to chill & research more on my clutch install, I want to get it done already.. but have to wait for some things to come in first. Should be a fun install..

LOL No I really do not go out that often. Only on special occasions and what not. Club really not my type of thing.. friends don't really know that I'm off, and I'm still really tired from coming home from work at 6am this morning. Might play some CS and watch a movie, dang sound like a loser =P

No I just thought u worked in the medical field / nurse or something of some sort but remembered you were in IT. IT Support ftl though imo. ♠

Hello all - we are currently driving down from Lexington, KY to run in the Battle of the Imports 1/4 mile race tomorrow (Saturday, June 27th) at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX just outside of Dallas. Hope you all come out to watch/show/race etc! If you do, please come find us in the pits (big white rig with green 350Z beside it) and introduce yourself.

Hope to see you all out there in the morning!

It's late to be driving. Haha, good luck though. Let us know how it goes, and hope the heat isn't too bad.

We have been on the road since lunch today and are looking at a 5am arrival... and the weather... I am not sure I am prepared for 100+ and sunny. This will be the real test for our stroker 350Z's cooling system.

Just finished changing the oil and getting rid of the old oil. Everything went great, except when I dropped the filter in the pan and splashed a little. It was a lot easier with the new pan though, once it was done draining, I just poured it back in the jug the new oil came in. Also, when I went to the place to drop off the oil, I noticed this stack of tires next to the oil drums. Some of them looked decent.

Tread might be fine but the side walls might be busted. Craigs list is full of these tires that look great but once you mount them and fill them with are there will be a huge bubble in the side wall.....FAIL

Ya, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the tires are bad. Some looked really low on tread, almost bald. Just thought if someone wanted drifting tires, or just crap tires that aren't important. I can check 'em out if anyone is interested.

Auto zone's barrel is much easier plus its inside in the back. Where did you go to dump? Did you have to use a funnel to get it into the barrel?

A shell/car repair place a mile south of me. The lid was loose so I just took that off and poured it in, then threw the old jug away. There was very little oil in there already.
