What did you do with your Z today

SkyZ · 05-26-2010, 01:20 AM

hey guys wanted to start a casual thread about what you guys did with ur Z. i'm hoping to catch all the notable events or even small events that make you glad u had a Z. im hoping this thread will catch on and people will start adding more and more posts to it as the days go by.

lemme kick it off. being the gorgeous day that it was today 24 degrees, i just had to take the Z out for a spin. drove an hour away to some decent "mountain" trails and had a few canyon runs with the windows down. gotta say. perfect day.

edit. the internet can be a harsh place so any flamers out there who want a piece of me for starting this "useless" thread. flame suit already on. =]

Just wanted to point out he is from canada before people start tripping out about the "24 degrees"

Today being the day after I wash my car starts out being sunny and in the 70s ( *F not *C

) - I took it into work... only to leave work to find it pouring rain... seriously - rain in cali at the end of May???

Funny you should ask what I did with my Z today. In fact I smuggled 7 illegal Ecuadorian immigrants and 1 midget across the border.

Then where the heck are you? I needed my Ecuadorians an hour ago. It's hard enough holding this donkey still with just the midgets I have, and the hooker's getting nervous. I've gone through 3 bottles of jack to keep her hammered. This is coming out of your tip, sir.

I picked it up after having the Berk HFC's installed. Also, I ordered SPL rear camber and traction links. It's been too rainy here lately to drive it so I sit in front of my computer all day just ordering parts out of boredom. Today my goal is to NOT order an exhaust. I don't think I'll make it.

Drove to work this morning. Had to speed up and swing by a typical jerk that doesn't allow anyone to merge.

SiXK · 05-26-2010, 09:06 AM

I woke up to find a frog was in my garage and **** on the hood of my 370Z. Cleaned that up, forgot to take pics. Then I cranked her up and took a spirited 30 mile drive to work. Lots of turns and curves as I had to pass untold number of cell phone talkers and other oblivious drivers putt-putting down the left lane. The radio stations sucked until one finally played "Rebel Yell". Had to pull evasive maneuvers to avoid a beat up Chevy astro-van that tried to merge on top of me. I swerved to another lane to avoid her then blew the horn. She looked all around, and actually appeared to realize that something, somewhere, must have happened, but she never seemed to realize it was her being a complete idiot driver. Then I finally get to work, pull up in my regular (very remote) parking spot where a couple of young kids dressed in prom style clothing were making out standing by a truck parked a few spots away. Waited for the security guard to shoo them away then locked the car up and went inside to live the dream.

Wifey finished up her first of a two day track event at Daytona today.

Her inputs so far:

1. Fuel starve occured with 6 dots down from full (must fill the tank up after every session to prevent/delay this). I asked her to run a session w/o a full tank so we could find out when it occurs just since I was curious.

2. Running PS2 tires, vastly improved over the stock tires (which were on for the last 4 track days). towards the end of the fourth session, they did begin to get "greasy" but for 3 1/2 30min sessions they were good.

3. Brake fluid started to overheat toward the end of the 4th session (spongy pedal). Running motul rbf 600. Damn brakes on this car run so hot.

4. top speed on the front straight was 140mph. She said she's lifting and not going flat out since at around 140 on this track, the car starts to get "light". If she was to go flat out and have a perfect run, she/I recon top speed would be about 150mph.

5. She out drove a GT3 in the infield and after 3 laps he finally relented and let her pass him, then she put some distance on him and never saw him again that session.

6. Z06 blew it's motor on one session right in front of her and sprayed oil all over the front of the car, no one hurt or wrecked tho.

7. She's one of the slowest cars out there in her group, (mostly Z06s, GT3s, GT3rs, F430s, F430 scuderia, GT2s, etc) BUT in the infield, where driving skill and handling trump/equalize horsepower differences, she's kicking a$$.
