Hey everyone!

Little about me: I am the current President of Wildcat Formula Racing (U of A: Society of Automotive Engineers). We build a F1 style car from the ground up. I am also going to college to earn an engineering degree with chemical minors. Lucky my club has given me the opportunity to talk to car enthusiasts willing to help as well! I live in AZ but I drive back to SF, CA during my breaks.

I got my 370 in the Summer (right before college). I have always wanted a 350z and I spent my time looking for one, yet this 11' BS 6M 370z came along and I couldn't refuse it. I bought it with 4 things added to it: Injen intakes, coil-overs (unknown) INGS +1 replica front lip and ARK exhausts!

Unfortunately the man before me didn't realize that tuning helps boost power, so as of now: the car has near stock hp. I also don't think they did their INGS fiberglass layups correctly because it fell apart...I plan to fix it with bondo to see what happens.

So far, I absolutely love this car (although the large hood is annoying at times, but eh). My plans for the future include tuning, headers, transmission mounts, seeing if I can replace some parts with carbon fiber and if I can design my own shift knob with my roommate (engineer with an MS6).

I would love any tips from the members, I kept putting off posting on here because I haven't had any questions. Maybe some will generate once I start talking more.
