Im currently starting out in Autox and im the only ASP guy in my area. I ended up slippin the stock clutch last weekend at the driver school event so now im investing in a spec clutch set up with the HD CSC. I think ill run the rest of this year on the stock wheels and brakes then upgrade between years. There's about 3 370z's and a handful of 350z's in my area, any advice from you guys with experience?

I did my first event the beginning of March. It's pretty addictive, but I definitely suggest getting an oil cooler if your going to get a lot of seat time. During my novice driver school my oil temp got up to 230 quite a few times. Also the stock clutch is not a fan of launches.

How much of the stuff in the back did you have to remove? Can you keep spare in tire for weight? How about the foam block under the cross brace? It's a pain in the az to get out.

I left all the stuff under the mat in the car. Only took out my floor mats. The car handled fine I thought. I let one of the more experienced drivers take it for one of the stations, he managed to slip the clutch on the first run haha, but then after that he was whipping it around like it was easy. Im not running it for points anyway so those milliseconds of weight drop for the spare tire and what not is not an issue.
