Note to self - after leaving car wash...

FricFrac

Since I have no experience on the track slot me under the "you suck hard you pathetic excuse for a driver" category before the flaming begins.... but I was surprised when I tried to get the rear end loose how quickly the rear bite came back and the car felt quite planted compared to doing the same thing with my 280ZX (only had 225s on the rear in comparison to 275s)....

....and that's how it (sorta) works in our R/C vehicles. That being said we can change the viscosity of the fluid based on the type of racing/driving size of the vehicle, etc. Can we change the diff fluid in our car for a more agressive driving style?

I think your stories are fine for the people who want to read them, but I do believe they don't need to be new threads. As our community grows and grows, it's becoming harder to sift through all the threads. Just two months ago, only 2 pages of updates would take place in a day, now we are more than double that.
If I could make a polite suggestion, there is a preexisting thread where everyone has taken great liberty in posting this kind of stuff. I think some of these things may be best placed here:

Ok guys, now I think we are getting somewhere with this.

But instead of it going into the useless thread, because that thread seems to be 90% non-Z related, could we make a more appropriate thread where inexperienced sports car drivers can go to learn from eachother's experiences and mistakes. This way mistakes (getting loose with soapy tires, overcorrecting steering, doing burnouts in the box unnecessarily with street tires) can be voiced and people who find it useful (new Z owner that has driven a truck his whole life) will take note that, 'hey, don't get on it for a few miles after the wash.'

Maybe title it: "370Z lessons learned" or something like that?

edit: went ahead and started a lessons learned thread and found some old bits of advice to start it off. This should help everyone I think. + + +

When is RCZ not out of line? He flames in everyones posts. He thinks he is right over everyone else. Most of his threads are like this. LOL

Mods, please lock this thread. It lost it's charm a long time ago.

Again, do you have a purpose here, other than chasing down RCZ's posts and trying to make a stink about it? Most of his threads are pretty damn informative. What are you bringing to the table?

Wstar, maybe you need to actually review his posts like others. Others here in this thread already see how he acts. No need to ignore the facts. Last I checked the forum was open to read posts anywhere we all please anyways.

Then please, continue exercising your right to do so. I know it must be gratifying searching out new threads to troll.

wstar, your personal attacks are out of line. May I suggest you back off a bit before a admin steps in. And before you make this site like the other Z site...

Doesn't the OP realise that it was just the Z-Gods showing their anger when they saw that he'd used a carwash?

I was going a lot faster than 8mph...

But that's inconsiquential to those who'd rather flame than to get a laugh out of someone else being momentarily stupid.


Some take the internet too seriously.

And some wish this forum would stay mature and helpful with its information, not turn into a slander feast and boring worthless stories. If you have a story go to the lounge, if you want to talk about the car then do so. I mean, there are probably at least three threads about sharing a story with your Z, or post up funny story with your Z, or even Ricer tries to race me. Pick one of them, by using the search function, and enjoy a good conversation.

Some would rather turn a thread into a pissing match, which is anything but what you're describing.
