Alot of us run the Hotchkis bar. The rear Hotchkis bar is abit too stiff, and use the stock rear bar.

Just an update I ran 38f/35/r psi settings on my 285/35 rivals and have already torn off chunks of tread off the outside of the fronts, I wouldnt recommend these tires to a stock 370z with the little camber we have, or if you do maybe try 41 front psi. Only got about 25 runs before this started to happen

FWIW, on RS3s on my 370 I have picture evidence of the tires rolling over onto the sidewall at 38 PSI. I always ran at least 42 in the front and that seemed to help a lot.

Welp I don't think straight pipes are acceptable. I drove to the auto cross was today and was late, forgot cash, no ATMs around, etc (bad morning) so I went around the parking lot to leave and got a msg saying they don't like punks with open exhausts "blasting around" their events. I never cracked 25 mph my car is just loud. I see the autox crowd is one I want to be around. Rust **** boxes all around but my modifications aren't accepted

The guy said if I come back be prepared to apologize for my actions?

That was an SCCA event? If so speak with the Solo Chair or someone high up to help you out. They shouldn't be disrespecting like that and I've seen actual **** boxes at our events locally with no issues.

I never stopped nor spoke to anyone. I drove by looked around and left. The road I got back on to leave was uphill which makes my car sound even louder granted lol

Next event is in 2 weeks. I plan on going back to see who says a word to me and correct them kindly. If they are dbags about it they will find out im the biggest ******* they can piss off lol

If it doesn't go smoothly I'll give you guys the info on their events and names to give a little love to.

I'd go back, me personally I would not apologize But be aware some events have a sound check, something like 98 dB at 50 feet I believe.

Anyone experience clutch pressure loss while autocrossing? I have an aftermarket exhaust and I've heard the clutch line runs next to the exhaust. Any luck with the Z1 stainless line and higher temp fluid?

I plan on going back and if mine is out of the range for their limits that's fine. I just didn't like how the guy worded his comments to me is all.

I did my first autox yesterday in CT, it seems like the new favorite tire for street class is the direzza star spec II. It so happens to be that they were the fastest behind the A6 and other comp tires. I have yet to see someone run the new R-71, I think after another month when my BFG's crap out on me I will be getting the dunlops.

are you running the BFG rivals or something else?

those seemed to get decent reviews. I think i'm sticking with RE-11's for my DD use with some track time. I was thinking the RE-71s but from what I've heard so far they wear really fast. would not be ideal for my situation lol

Yesterday there was a HR 350Z with PPE headers and a tomei Y-pipe back, he was so loud he was told put in the silencer or leave. The silencer still was not enough. His first run when I was corner working it hurt my ears to the point where I was slightly angry because this was a new parking lot and I knew if someone was going to ruin it for everyone it was going to be him.

that sucks. even if I put my mufflers back on it's still probably going to be too loud for all the old guys I saw standing around.

I'm not going to revert my car to stock and reduce my cars performance to appease a small population of a group. I just want to expand my driving resume' by trying something new. oh well, we will see what happens in 2 weeks lol
