Default flashburn's 370Z Journal, Project: FlasHBurN Commences!

I've been slacking off and wanting to make a journal for a while, so here we go!

Goal:
Ultimately I want to do 3-4 HPDE's a year, along with possibly some AutoX mixed in. I also use this car to commute about 70 miles a day so I want to stay N/A. I'd like to do my first HPDE around the end of this year.

I'm going to keep the list of modifications limited to performance, and not mention any of my aesthetic modifications or audio gear. I solely want this journal to be about my journey into the world of motorsports.





Current Modifications:
  • Fast Intentions CBE with 18" Carbon Fiber Canisters
  • Fast Intentions Non-Resonated HFC's
  • K&N Dropin Filters
  • (gone) Cobb AccessPort with Canned AAM Tune
  • H&R 15mm (front) and 20mm (rear) Wheel Spacers
  • Hankook 265/35/19F and 285/35/19R
  • SRPracing Pedals (+10whp!)
Future Modifications (Soon!):
  • Stillen G3 CAI (Sitting in my house now)
  • UpRev Osiris with E-Tune. I'm ditching the Cobb AP under the 100% satisfaction guarantee they have. If they don't want to support the 370Z then I don't want to support them.
Future Modifications (~6 Months):

These are the mods I need to have done before I do my first HPDE.
  • Oil Cooler (Not sure on brand/size yet)
  • Brake Pads (Dedicated Track Pads)
Future Modifications (~1 Year):
  • S.S. Brake Lines, probably these Z1 Braided Stainless Brake Lines
  • Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid (while I'm already replacing the lines)
  • Rotors
  • Dedicated Track Wheels + Tires. Hoping to snatch up a set of Base 18" Wheels from someone for cheap.
  • Sway Bars
Future Modifications (Not Definite/Distant Future):
As always, open to suggestions if you guys think of any other parts I should get.
