Credit where credit is due. I'm pretty sure they don't have a discount for that though, otherwise I'd be building my Stillen shrine right now. (he wasnt talking to me)

they should do it like dish network did and give us free stuff if we name a kid stillen motorsports or something. I'd probably name my kid GTM TT

^ in all honesty, whats the point of a 500whp turbo kit that costs twice as much as the SC if you can't push the stock block past 500whp anyway. You can make the same power with the SC, more reliably and with a smoother torque curve.

If you want to use the potential of those turbo chargers you are going to have to spend another 5-10k to build the motor...give me the choice to name my kid, he still has Supercharger as his last name.

What he said.

RCZ, any news on that carbon fiber company (iCarbon)?

Yep, they are tied up doing e92 M3 development, but we have a bunch of good stuff in the pipeline. Expect an update on that around the beginning of March when they can focus on the 370Z.

theDreamer

Sounds good, thanks for the update.

For all you guys with KW V3 Coilovers,

Is is it me or are the V3 coilovers even lighter than stock ones. I weighed the Z after installing the coilovers and I noticed that the weight had slightly gone down...I thought aftermarket coilovers would be more complex and heavier as they have been for a lot of cars that I have put coilovers on...

Could you guys confirm if the KW coilovers are lighter cause if they are I'm also interested in KW's HLS system. I really did drop my car's ride height low and had to fit Eibach's alignment kit, and the car feels spectacular. However, I came across something called a speed bump and I was actually grazing my bumper as I got closer and I was sure that I was going to scrape it slightly. Thankfully, no one was behind me so I reversed out and went around. It does seem like a minor issue, but I will be using the Z a lot more often and traveling, so the system will be very helpful and I it's really cool how it works....The system has barely come out and I don't even know how much it costs, but I'm broke right now anyway, so I'm still saving...

RCZ

Coilover systems are lighter than stock a lot of the time. They usually have smaller springs and are built out of lighter materials designed to be used on the track.

As some of you know, Z1 Performance was kind enough to send me one of their prototype Comfort Transmission mounts for third party testing. This comfort version is 40% stiffer than stock.

I received it today and the plan is to install it Saturday. I hope to have a nice review for you all soon after that.

Here are some pictures and let me remind you that this is a prototype and not final production piece. DIY possibly coming as well.

Nice. Thanks for doing this, Raul.

I don't have much experience polishing things, but I do have a dremmel and some polishing wheels. Can someone tell me what the process is for polishing that mount a little? I dont want a mirror finish, I just have a day and I can't look at the thing and not do anything about it.

MightyBobo

Some metal polish and a dremel with a polishing bit ought to do the trick...
