Kewl I've worked at a few different levels with racing also. I've crewed on a World of Outlaw style sprint car. I also worked as an EMT at Watkins Glen in the pits for NASCAR and Vintage races. I've done some Solo Cross and drag racing also. Looking forward to building either the LMP car or a reproduction vintage race car and taking driving classes at Watkins Glen. :driving:

The more you get behind the wheel, the more hooked you will be. I auto-X'd my TT for about 5 seasons and 3 of them were sponsored by a local dealership.

Building either of those would be awesome. I think my next project is going to be a Shelby Cobra (replica). Leaning towards Superformance. I have been close to several and really like the fit/finish.

My wife just got me a NASCAR Experience package at the Richmond Raceway. She rocks! Not a huge circle track fan but it should be a blast. She knows I will drive anything that makes noise and goes fast. I plan on getting the brakes replace on the TT and taking it to VIR. A lot of my friends go pretty regular.

Here is what I did this morning. I finished the front spacers...

If you do decide to go to VIR please let me know when. I'd love to see a Z fly around the track.

BeachZTT 07-14-2011 07:09 PM

Will do! I have friends in the Porsche club that get the track for a day. They mentioned having something scheduled this fall. I may see them this Saturday at Cars & Coffee Williamsbug (I am one of the co-coordinators). Come on out!!! If not, I am a member of their FB group so I will know when they start planning.

:twocents:Sorry to say that I cannot help ya Jester, don't know if the rears are the same. Beach superperformance is a great company, if I may make a recomendation I would look at the super coupe. Just think there are too many cobra esq cars out there. Just my :twocents:

jesters 07-15-2011 07:32 AM

Thanks anyway brother. I've just got the answer from ZELE that it all fit except the rear spoiler! But we've to imagine ourself what look it will be because they've no pictures of this aero-part on our Roaster yet. What do you think?

Fire 07-16-2011 06:50 AM

Lookin good. If you need a wing spoiler solutions has one for our vert. Just go to thier site and talk to them, it is not listed on the website but they have it. I ordered mine in primer and had it painted flat black locally but they have many color options also.:ughdance:

BeachZTT 07-18-2011 09:59 AM

Fire- I hear ya. But I have wanted a roadster since I was a kid. There aren't many around my area. We will see, I will change my mind a 100 times before I do anything.

Jesters- I would really like to see that kit on a roadster too. As far as the wing goes. I am very happy with my Spoiler Solutions wing too. They matched the factory Black Cherry perfectly. Everyone thinks it was OE.

Fire 07-20-2011 07:32 PM

I can relate Beach. Today I looked at a Camaro that I saw coming back from an amusement park over the weekend. It turned out to be a 1980 drag car that was too rough for me.:shakes head: Oh and I made my wing flat black just so it wouldn't factory LOL.

I like that paint SonnyC, nice car as well!

Thanks
 
Hey Elvis,
I am real happy with the way it turned out. I would like a little more aggressive look so I am thinking about putting some 20mm spacers on it to flush the wheels out a little.

Fire 07-25-2011 02:41 PM

Sonny I did 20mm spacers and love them.:tiphat: Your wheels are subtle.

BeachZTT 07-25-2011 10:55 PM

Looking good Sonny. I bet those wheel would look nice against BlackCherry. :)

SonnyC 07-26-2011 10:32 AM

The wheels look like black chrome in person. Alloy Wheel Repair in ATL did them for me. They do fantastic work. The actually keep a full time guy and a big trailer at the MB and BMW dealers in ATL to repair curbed wheels.

I also have a 350 Roadster and I have 20mm spacers on it with PVD chrome OEM wheels. They look good but I wouldn't do it again for the high price. The hyper black look better and were half the price!

See this and the build link in in my Sig line.

So, just got my 2012 Roadster a week ago...

No good photos just yet, since I hardly see her during the day (work)...

So far, I've blacked out the emblems, added the GT-R start button, and threw in some K&N drop-ins...

JDM fog light on the way, as well as FairladyZ rear emblems...

The fun is just beginning!

Simple enough, but boy was it a pain in the arse. My first 370z blood sacrifice, I suppose.

Finally getting around to do some modding. 1st thing was the GTR start button a few weeks after I bought the car last year. Now I've added K&N drop ins and a Berk exhaust. (Also have the windows tinted if that counts.)

Next mods: Post MAF tubes, spacers, and a drop. Haven't decided on springs or coilovers yet.

Vid of exhaust:

jazz 04-04-2012 11:41 AM

you cant do springs!!! must do the coilover with control arms! you will not be happy with only springs!

Fire 04-04-2012 04:57 PM

Sorry jazz don't agree. I like my Eibachs. :tup:

jazz 04-04-2012 05:00 PM

you did just springs??

Fire 04-04-2012 05:25 PM

I got springs, sways, caster/camber kit and spacers. :tup:
