What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Nice 2014 Nismo^. I didn't even look at the Z today. I'm secretly setting up a shopping list for it right now though.

Keeping the Z after all and getting some nice mods on there too I see. Can't wait to see it.

moved the car again at the pole barn and now 2 more weeks before I hear her prowl

As excited like it's Christmas again and a fat kid who gets cake and ice cream after dinner

Got my first ever stance pro comp 2 coilovers in today courtesy of Charles from B2 autodesigns. Now to install them with spl camber and toe arms tomorrow. Yippee. I had to wait 7 1/2 weeks to be made but I am very happy I did. Stance also confirmed these are the first set for a 370z.

So yesterday I had the opportunity to attempt to fuel starve my Z. I took a long, sweeping right hand curve at 75-80 mpg with <2.5 gallons of fuel in my tank. No dice. This is a recommended 55 mph curve that I didn't dare take over 80 with my current tires. I know the fuel level because I filled up on gas less than 3 miles later and put 16.75 gallons in it. I guess I need less fuel or a harder turn in for more centrifugal force.

I wondered who would be the first to ask 6th gear, so not exactly guzzling fuel at 80 mph.

I'll try it in 3rd next time with better tires and less fuel

it's happened to me going full throttle after a big turn. feels like you hit redline. worst feeling in the Z, trying to coax a sinking ship to safety.
