Are you actually good with those hard paddles?

Rubber ones are better for spins, though.

Asians rule at ping-pong ! It's like in our DNA or something.

I play as good as these guys:

Morning folks.

Chris350 you played competitively or recreation only during college? I think ping pong is a very fun sport..and a great work out. There's so many things to learn and it's very hard. Everybody who comes over gets addicted to the ping pong table, surprisingly it gets use as a normal ping pong table rather then a beer pong table.

Chris Filthymoto I'm scared to play against an oldie like you, might look old (JK) but those experience sure kick in and do some butt whooping.

I definitely am not good enough to play competitively. I just played with some friends when we were bored, so I'm not that good.

Yeah, ping pong can be pretty fun, especially once you get good enough to keep volleying. And we know you got the table to play ping pong, not beer pong.

Yeah, I pretty much such....I was just bluffing with my P-P-P-Poker Face....my Poker face !

I just haven't played in a while so it could take me a few times before I get my timing and sensitivity back.

I'll still play for fun tho.

Why does your friend want to do this? Why not just get some springs specifically for the car.

because 350z springs lower G's, perhaps his friend is thinking that the 370 springs will lower his G as well, IIRC Z springs don't lower G's very much but just enough to save money by buying someone's used springs than by paying for brand new springs elsewhere.

Sure you don't want to wait until summer and caravan down? We were hoping to save money by having lots of people at once.

If you guys are caravning this summer I'll probably end up going then too lol I'm going down there to see a few friends for the weekend so I thought while I'm there why not get a reflash lol It will give me a good baseline before I start adding more than just some basic bolt ons

I'm going to Uprev to get reflashed. I already have a base line I had done at Jotech this past summer but that was on the factory tune. I made 242rwhp and 229ft/lbs torque. I want to see where I'm at after a reflash.

Ok so it's just like the mail-in ECU thing that costs $300 and not the dyno tune which I think costs $500?

Yeah they range anywhere from $300-$700. I got the Osiris Standard which is the $500 one. I'm pretty psyched lol plus spring break started for me after my last midterm today lol

Wow that's awesome. They put it on the dyno right, so you can get a baseline that will compare to your numbers after the tune? Look forward to hearing about it.
