Last month did my finally track event, Track Night at AMP.. did ok but was working with my timing apps and messed them all up so no times. Funny hard to judge what I am doing without times.

But the real reason for running was to see if I could keep under the sound. Which is 98 DBs, and it was did not get bounced or even a warning. So felt good about that. Sad part, I could not get a sound reading to see where I was....

Sound is always a concern, since I have Z1 Headers / Z1 Test pipes resonated / FI Exhaust with 18" resonated muffler. Just wanted to make sure sound was ok...

Hey Dane...I have enjoyed reading through your journal. Could you please tell me the size winter tires and wheels you went with? I am in the process of researching a set for the winter. I have read that 18s will fit the bigger sport brakes. Just curious what you went with for your setup....Thanks!

Amazing exhaust combo you must like the way your Z sounds. How was the fitment did everything bolt up nicely?

I can't say, I not very mechanically incline, all thumbs.
Had a performance shop I worked with do it, they did not say they had any problems....

Yes, I get lots a comments.... especially at full throttle

Today is the day, 8 years ago purchased my Black Cherry Sport 6 speed 370Z.
Still enjoy it as much today as back then.

It was a long day, should have walked out, but it was Black Cherry and I was the first one to every drive it, spent way too long at the dealership, must have been the red-mist effect

:driving::happydance:

Well was getting ready to pull the Z out and take a ride, neighbor came up and stated how great it looked and sounded. Made me smile...

I was out looking for a new daily, only because, I enjoy looking for a new toy. Was at a dealership and the sales person committed on the car...

So glad I have this wonderful car, and that people take notice of it...

Last Sunday went to Cars and Coffee here in Knoxville TN, Lots of comments on the car.
Most interesting two.
1) nice build, what color is that, the person has 2009 Z. I take a build sheet with me, for a bit older and I do not remember every thing I had done. Makes me smile, when I hear that.
2) since I am all thumbs when it comes to car mechanics, I have a local shop do my mods. I ran into the person who put the mods on. (he did a great job) He still talks about my Z, ran into by my Z and he was explaining to a friend, everything he did. Said he would steal it, but there were too many people there. I cannot think of a bigger compliment.

Makes me, feel real good about how my Z came out.:driving:

couldn't resist this, was on the dragon today

Dig it!:tup:

Have two of them in my garage. :tup:

cool

Odd question to ask... Always have an itch for cars, so it is hitting again. Now the Z is the longest car I have owned and its not going anywhere.

But the itch is back.. The mini cooper convertible has been fun, had it about a year and my GF wants it. So that is why part of the itch.

Now i have about 20K to play with. The only requirement is it has to be an automatic.

I drove a C6 corvette, but it felt heavy as steering response, but here there is a very active social club.

So with that in mind, and remember it has to be an auto..

Give me some other ideas.

Thanks for the help :tiphat:

Over the weekend I purchased a 2016 Miata Mx-5 Club Stick for a new daily driver

But in talking to the sales person, I mention my Z, he said bring it in he wanted to take a look at it.

So I arrived at the dealership and park in front, and all the looks from the sales people inside, he comes out and looks it over and comments about the color and everything (a car person he is) Then asks me start and rev it up and comments on the sound.. I thought it was just funny

Then I got home and one of the neighbors and talked and he commented on the car....

so I had a lot of smiles today, made me realize again why I own a Z
:ughdance:

Never forget the Z, but enjoy the new ride!

Congrats on the new daily!

Okay so l think we should start a pool on how long he will last until he takes it to an auto X event!:stirthepot:

If you don't then I guess you are a hair dresser! :wtf2:
