That's what she said..

JK... lookin' good!

I'm out this round. Heading up rafting all weekend but will try to make it soon. Dying to see what this whole track thing is about.

I so need to order my rear rotors to match my fronts...I'm trying my best to get everything handled with my business's so I can try to attend the track tomorrow.

It was a little wet and slippery out there in the morning but dried off enough to run 2:10s around 11:00 am.

I only ran the morning session.

Im putting some video together tonight (mostly just laps) I probably won't post it though. Lets get a few Z's out there so we can have some more interesting video.

(My new camera mount for track video is AWESOME.)(home made)

[Shadezz]

Post anyways..maybe it will encourage people to get out there...Carbon Drive shaft should be here later this week!!

[SurfDog]

I figured out while swapping out to track brake pads that my rotors are on backwards. (cooling vents between disks should turn to draw air through pad...hard to put into words)

anyhow... need to pull calipers and reinstall!

Those are some good looking wheels! What kind of tires?

BTW, Hello! I'm new to the forum several months ago, and am just now getting around to posting. I am from the Springs area. I hope I can make it out to some events to meet you guys.

I ordered all that stuff from z1 Motorsports here is a list of the things I have coming:
1 x SPL Front Upper Control Arms (370Z / G37) = $764.00
1 x Stillen 370Z Front Brake Cooling Kit = $291.00
Fascia Type OEM (Non-Nismo)
1 x GM Advan RS 18X10+15 Used wheels = $1,450.00
4 x Toyo RA1 275/35 R18 = $1,104.00
1 x Mount and Balance = $100.00

I'll keep posting my track days and hopefully you can make it up. You don't have to drive your first day out if you'd like to see what it's all about. Your welcome to ride with me all day. I usually go with a guy in a 65 Farrari, a guy in a 65 stingray and sometimes Shadezz in his Z. We are probably done till spring, but I might sneak in ONE MORE!

That would be very cool! that's a generous offer that I would absolutely love to take up!

My car isn't quite ready for track, as it's base with no mods. I'm currently out of the country until January, so next spring I will be there. I've never had the opportunity to get into track days, but have always wanted to.

That's a pretty nice list of stuff you have coming your way! TOYO RA1 , and that price on those wheels!!!

Susp., Wheels, Brakes, Diff in that order for the future for me.

Call Z1 they have another set of those wheels in silver.
Also they are great for suggestions on brakes and might be able to source some used sport brakes. (from someones upgrade). My quaife LSD is really great almost a must have I'd say.

That's the route I'd like to go, as it's seemingly best bang/buck. Otherwise a Quaife is what I was aiming for as well. It just seems that the reviews make it seem very streetable with little maintenance and as reliable as stock.

I'm gonna pick up some varrstoen ES6 (meister knock offs). But at that price used, i might bite
