Stop at subway after autocross today
and again the Z gets attention, the girls working there today commented on how much they like the car...

Autocross was fun today, have to make it fun or I try to hard and goof
I run STM, mainly because of mods, otherwise it would be ASP and nobody is in ASP
Ran tire pressure 37-38 front and 35-34 rear. It felt pretty good, but the truth is I have not idea at times.

The course double back on itself twice and it was 3/4 of a mile. my best was 70.xxx, about 9 seconds off the lead, but it is STM...

but had a great time and that is what it is all about

last one for tonight, as I mentioned looking for a 350Z, and what I have found is there holding there value... hard to find a clean good one under 10K, and reality lost my chance one last week.

There is another one owner, 128K, and there asking 12K.... just find it interesting

Today was an interesting day at autocross, saw a thread on the autocross about front tires @ 40 and rears @ 34, and it worked. Tires were not over inflated when I got back in and I did have a couple of good pushes

Also had my fastest run when I trusted the car and kept my foot off the break. This has been a hard thing for me to do, for I have lead in my right foot

took a trip to atlanta for the weekend, got great mileage again about 29.

danegrey · 07-17-2016, 04:57 PM

Another trip to Atlanta, good mileage about 28
car turn 47K, not bad, car build date is 8/2011, so being 4 years old not bad,
really drove it a lot the first year

next step in the mods has started, decided on headers from Z1Motorsports, they will come next week and then off to the shop and get it on the schedule.

Only odd thing, was the test pipes, had custom ones made by FI, and Z1Motorsports states they will not work with there exhaust. So order a different set of Test pipes, still enough to keep the sound reasonable, because of autocross restrictions

Guess I will find out when I take it to the shop...

Spoiler looks like something you would see on a Honda Civic

everyone has there ideas, this was as close to a nismo spoiler I could get at the time, without paying lots of money for a nismo....

danegrey · 08-03-2016, 06:31 PM
