Soo... The short
Got t-boned by a guy running a red light! Wrote my eclipse off,so I drove 1200 kms to pick up my 11 carbon graphite touring sport without nav.

The long...
I did pretty much every upgrade to the motor and suspension without putting a turbo on. Really had a lot of time and money invested into it. So I brought it into a tranny shop to get a stg 3 clutch and quaife lsd put into it. Dropped it off on a Monday,and get a call on Friday to come grab it. So I pick it up and drive it around for a couple hrs to see how it performs. Clutch was good and the lsd was phenominal! So about 3 hrs in to a cruise picking up odds and ends,I make my way home. I'm sitting in an intersection when the light turns yellow. Two cars go through when the light turns red. I go to clear the intersection and buddy came out of nowhere and totally pasted me! I tell ya,if it wasn't for his kids in the car,there would have been some blood on the scene.
So I figured the car was a write off and started looking around. I knew this was the next platform I wanted to get into,but was undecided on whether to go with a g37 or the 370. They both looked good to me with the 370 being more my taste,but the infinity had more room to carry stuff around (like groceries! Lmao) but I came across a 370 for a smokin deal and figured I couldn't pass it up! And the rest is history as they say.

So I went from

To this

I'm already in love with the way she handles at stock,let alone what I have planned for her! I look forward to being apart of this club and all the info and knowledge in these pages,as well meeting members and seeing some hot Z's.
