2nd exit on the south end of the Skyway Bridge

Karts are gas, Honda power I think. They are pretty quick for rental karts but more important are all very evenly matched.

I'm still waiting to hear back on pricing but expect to spend around $60 for the day.

Guys if you do not have a set of hood dampers hop in on the current group buy. They are made by kellyfields a great local, at a great price. He will even install them if you pick them up or go to a car meet.

Here is the link we currently have 12 people. Lets go for at least 20 by the end of the month!!! Interest check - ~Kellyefields~ custom hood damper kit

Gotta give props to Nut n Much , Joe , for helping me install some lowering springs today. And when I write help I meant hand him the tool he needed when he asked for it. lol. I wanted to try to do it myself but after seeing what Joe did , I'm glad I didn't try it. The springs I bought were originally for a g37. I called z1 to confirm if they would fit and they said yes. Joe found out otherwise. The screws are shorter that bolt the top part , sorry I'm sure there is a name for it but I don't know it. Not to mention the springs in the rear had some type of metal in lodged in between them. It was a mess. So thanks Joe for all of your help. I will put pics up tomorrow . Got home late.

Lothario

hes good people. i intend to take my car to him for all my mods. assuming that hell let me :-p

Yeah, Joe's a great guy, he'll be installing my FI exhaust and HFCs in a few weeks as soon as everything comes in and I'm back in town 😃

Thanks fellas, Kelly and I are always here to help, no matter what you drive. Working on a hood right know if all goes well, I'll be able to give you some vents on that Aluminum hood should keep engine cool as well.

Well consider me intrigued. Where are you placing these vents? If you say right behind the radiator to suck the hot air out as I drive, you'll be my new hero.

Thinking of this! Doesn't matter how many vents I put or were because the underside is getting a boxed in completely. I want to make 2 openings that the vents would draw the heat out from. Also helps with water and debris falling in engine bay as it would connect with the stock from part of the under hood and allow it to drain as needed. Also cleans up the underside of the hood.

I measured the hood and laid a line down the center to use as my half way mark. I plan on keeping the Vents in front of that 1/2 way mark. A few others on the forum did this with 2 vents and had good reviews. That area gets the most pressure to draw heat out. 70 mile hr with windows down and feeling the heat from the engine bay pass over the windshield is a good thing.

Instead of strait cuts I'll use a slight curve and make each vent slightly wider giving it a nice look.

wonder what you guy normally use for your engine oil, i normally use eneos full syn, but i recently move to tampa and needed a oil change badly and went to ferman nissan to get an oil change it seem like they were over charging for a valvoline oil full syn, i ended up paying $95.00 for an oil change, i guess lesson learn.

Lothario

ferman tried to rape me on the price of my Z, fuk them

Nut_N_Much

Z1 has full synthetic oil from Redline, one of the best oils you can use, pricy. I use Pennzoil Full Synthetic. I do a lot of work on cars but I still go to Wesley Chapel Nissan for all my servicing. If I ever sell my Sophie I want my service records to show on Car Fax.

They do a great job and know how to change AT7 Fluid. Brandon took 8 hours to figure it out.

Hey Team,
Just spoke to my contact at Andersen Race Park about a group of us running karts. They are having a special this Sunday (9/28), buy two sessions ($55) get one free.

I know it's short notice but might still be doable for most folks. Who can make it this Sunday?

If we can't get a good group let's lock down a day in the next few weeks and get the largest group we can. Sundays work best because it's rental karts only (less waiting between sessions).

I'm out of town on the 6th but let me know if the 10/13 or 10/20 works better for you.
Surly there's a way to set up a vote or poll on here but I have no clue, so I'll keep track the old fashioned way.
