Ugh I need to get my car into competition shape... By that I mean just shape to where I know the clutch wouldn't go out on me if I raced... I must finish the boring stuff first... Then I get to build my motor... patience patience patience...

It's not the fact that it's "too low" (which does have its downfalls), it's the stretched tires that hinder your performance and risk your safety -- that's all.

Nice and interesting color combo, though. I like.

wow, your about the first "hella flush, stance, blah, blah" guy I have ever known to actually man up and say it.........

For that i can commend you......if your happy with your Z then great...

Wanna try something your car was designed for, you can start here as this is at least for beginners:
https://my350z.com/forum/meet-ups-ev...x-aug-7th.html
I mean, you did buy RPF1's..........some of the lightest, best track wheels out there, you would think you would have something in you to track the car??? then again you did paint them blue.............lets see if you show...

I dont think its designed for autoX at all that low, but if he wants to come and put his RPF1's to their designed use (ie track wheels, being that enkei designed them light and strong for the track) and since Nissan designed a sports car not a "status symbol".....

I'm being nice and asking him to do more than take pictures with his car and his blue wheels and im inviting him out to an autoX event with fellow Z owners.

I mean, he has coilovers and can adjust them on the fly to come out and track it?? no?? or am i wrong??

Why arent you signed up to come track the car.......??

Wheels specs are 18x10.5 et15 all around with a 20mm spacer. I am currently running 245 40 18 tires on it all around, did this so that i could be able to rotate the wheels and tires without having to dismount and remount tires everytime i decided to rotate.

Well thanks for showing any level of support at all Jason, but now that you mention it, i do plan on tracking this car. Ive already spoken with Jake during our coilover install about it and possibly the autox event coming up. "YES i would be raising the ride height of the vehicle and YES i have a set of meatier track tires stacked up in the garage, if i do decide to show up to the event this weekend i will be running 255 40s fr and 275 40 rear."

I just prefer to sit low and stretched as a daily because i enjoy the way it looks although i do not completely agree on the performance aspects of my current setup

You probably did, and Thank you. Yes is is pretty low as of right now... That will change sometime soon, I was just messing with my coils for the hell of it. I am not a fan of even being as low as I am. Texas roads are not the best place, in my opinion, to be driving as low as I am.

welcome? I've been in here for a while guys. I was just out of a computer when mine was stolen and haven't posted in a while. I'm not sure if I received your "proper" welcome, but I've already met quite a few of you in person...lol
