so when are we gonna see you out at the track again? you should try to make it out to big willow with speedventures on the 21st (even if it's with another car). it'll be fun.

I would love to go out to Big Willow, I am itching to get back out on a track. Unfortunately the 370Z was at its weakest out at streets of willow when I took you around. That was the last event for those tires and those rotors, not to mention I somehow got a crack in my oil cooler so thats garbage. I should be getting some new rotors soon, but tires and a new oil cooler still have to get purchased before I can take the 370Z back out on track. Not to mention, I will be doing an event out at Buttonwillow that day for charity with the Berk Technology 135i. More details to be posted on that soon.

19x9+24 front, 19x11+33 rear, Matte Black, new design center caps. Will be sold without tires. Haven't come up with a price yet, but for the right offer I will sell them and roll around on my severely worn track wheels/tires for 60-90 days.

Let me know if you get a price in mind. We've got a big meet/car-show coming up in early march around here, so if you haven't sold them by then I'll advertise that you have basically the same wheels as mine for sale

On a personal note...

Spy Optic came back on as a personal sponsor for my driving efforts in 2010! And I re-designed my website...

Bonanni Motorsports | Home

As for the car. Finalizing my 2010 vinyl layout for the car this week and will get it applied next week in time for the Berk Technology Charity Ride-A-Long/Hellaflush 3.5 event. The new livery will be colored to match the new 2010 Berk Technology Time Attack 135i livery since the 370Z will be on display in the Berk Technology pit area at all of the time attacks this year. The layout of the sponsor logos will be MUCH simpler than in the past. Going for a crowd pleasing "clean" look. Parts wise, all I am waiting on is the SSR SP3 wheels to get built and delivered. I am also working on a few new sponsorships for some exciting parts, but who knows if they will happen.

To be honest, that iFrame is terrible.

Grats on the work though. Saw some of your 135i vids

Hey now, go easy on me. Self taught web designer here. I didn't even know what iFrame was a few days ago.

Step 1 was to get the content on there, step 2 is to figure out how to smoothly integrate it.

vipor · 02-11-2010, 08:02 PM

php includes are the cleanest way. unless you're talking AJAX, which above even my head

No no no, I don't know what any of that is. Think much simpler. By self taught, I mean I Googled "how to integrate one website into another" then I found out what iFrame was, then I Googled "free iFrame HTML code" then copy and paste into Dreamweaver. Thats the level of expertise I am working with here.

But now I have a new thing to Google thanks to you! PHP includes...

vipor · 02-11-2010, 08:54 PM

It's pretty easy overall but it does require some understanding of code as it pertains to variables and functions. Using a combination of XHTML, CSS, PHP, and .htaccess you can make a site seem like it's much more than it really is. Makes it very easy to expand and modify too.

Alarm Express, Inc.

I made this site for my old work and got massively underpaid for it. They effed up the logo/header some but the functionality is all there. Look at the "directories" and the links. Then look at the source code. It abides by all standards, and displays almost 100% identical across all browsers.

M.Bonanni · 02-11-2010, 11:06 PM

When it comes to understanding or reading code I am pretty much clueless, especially if its something other than basic HTML. CSS, PHP, XHTML...no clue. I really only know how to copy/past code and do stuff in Dreamweaver that has a button, like changing font color lol.

vipor · 02-12-2010, 10:53 AM

Heh fair enough. If you run into any speedbumps feel free to shoot me a PM. Glad to help.

M.Bonanni · 02-12-2010, 11:02 AM

^^^Thanks!

Mike, you should look into jQuery. It's an open source Javascript library that simplifies regular day-to-day Javascript, as well as AJAX, DOM manipulation and effects, animationand, and etc. You don't have to be a web developer to use it. It's simple enough that web designers use it too. You just have to take some time to learn it. There is plenty of documentation and tutorials on their website and there rest of the web.

The majority of rich content websites use jQuery. You probably have forgotten about it by now, but I used it when I made that demo website for you a few months back. I mainly used it on the image slider and a menu hover effect.

Good luck.
