It's here.

Megan370z · 01-03-2014, 08:07 PM

nice ,, its very similar to the one I almost bought 2 weeks ago !

Rusty · 01-03-2014, 08:41 PM

How long is it?

SPOHN · 01-03-2014, 08:52 PM

18'

SPOHN · 01-04-2014, 08:53 PM

Total weight of car as of now. 2831. Half a tank of gas. Full roll cage.

Still need 2pc rear rotors and single exhaust. There's some more very little things to be had but this is about it without going crazy. My doors weigh 9.5lbs now.

Track alignment. Setup to the tracks I'll be visiting. With the best turn in possible. Might have to be adjust some more pending track day testing. This was a string alignment.
F-3.0 Camber........Total Toe 1/8 out
R-1.8 Camber........Total Toe 1/16 in

OEM Caster. Caster is not all important on track only cars. To a point.

How come? As much complaint track guys make on the lack of front camber on 370z, I would assume caster is more important to you guys? Thx in advance.

Honestly I can't say. I'm being told by guys with 15 years experience in setting up suspension and I have seen there results. So that's all I need to know for now. Especially for the track I go to.

Ah....perhaps with the types of corners you take, with the relatively smaller steering angles (versus autox), caster won't make as much of a difference.

And good lord, seeing that scale reading, my car is such a pig now
