I just need to start modding the Z again. I get bored and lose interest when I go 3-4 months without doing something new to it, lol.

I have a Mastergrade CF rear diffuser thats been sitting in my garage for like 4 months that I need to install but I've kinda been waiting to find a front lip that I like. Plus I have to lose my single exit exhaust and go back to a stock looking dual to clear the diffuser w/o cutting it up.

The M is doing awesome - just got done with the UpRev tuning and it went from 252rwhp to 290rwhp - 38 hp gain is not bad

Anyway - all else is good too, just need to get some time to pull the calipers to get them powdercoated but that can wait - no rush.

But you sir - need to get Moddin sounds like!

XwChriswX · 09-18-2009, 09:44 AM

FINALLY! My car is mine again! Now to just do a bumper swap, and get the exhaust fixed at IM when they can, and trade in time for my Z.

Wow, 38whp is a great gain from tuning! Thats awesome man, I bet the car feels way better

I will start modding soon enough....I actually want new rims already. Something less aggressive this time around, lol.

Chris, welcome to the board!

All, another idea for the meet... maybe schedule it around the upcoming NASA / BMW club racing event at PIR on 3-4 October... could do a drive from that point and go explore west, and maybe spend a couple hours at the track watching racing, time trialing, drifting etc... and here's link to the registration discussion if you want to drive your car at the track... instructors are free October 3-4 w/ BMWCCA @ Phoenix International Raceway - NASA AZ

ElementMotorsport · 09-17-2009, 11:06 AM

Thanks Travis!

Glad to be here

L33TZOR · 09-18-2009, 06:40 PM

details for the up and coming...repost from Tages email.
Registration for the October event at PIR (Oct 2rd & 3rd) is now open!

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/910

Please note that this is a BMWCCA event and they are sharing this event with them. Remember, we are THEIR guests!

Here are the key things to be aware of for this event:

#1 - Since this is BMW CCA's event, they will host their driving "school" (equal to our HPDE1 & HPDE2) so *NASA* will not have these groups as options. To register for the beginner "HPDE type" groups, go here --> MotorsportReg.com : BMW CCA - Roadrunner Chapter announces 3rd Annual **** Good Driving School & Club Race (Sat 3 - Sun 4 Oct, 2009) info at Phoenix Int'l Raceway, Avondale, AZ 85323 (5096)

#2 - Since about half of the schedule is BMW CCA exclusive, there's not enough room for NASA to have all groups available. Combining of HPDE3 & HPDE4 is very likely. We will have to combine groups and/or turn off registration early for some groups to ensure they are not oversold so the moral of the story is do not wait to register!

#3 - We are very close to this next event already and we expect all of the NASA groups to fill up very quickly. Early bird pre-registration discounts will only apply until this weekend

#4 - For Racers that are running in the BMWCCA races, there is a "SupersizePT/ST/SU" option to run the NASA race as well. Only $100 will buy you an entry into the NASA race to double your track time and fun! NOTE: This rate will only apply if you are currently registered and run in the BMWCCA Race.

#5 - If you're a racer feeling a little left out this past Summer, here's your chance to *feel the love*. For this event there will be a "SupersizeTT" registration option. If your are a NASA racer looking for additional seat time and another shot at some contingency, for only $100 you can run Time Trial both days in addition to the race group! NOTE: This rate will only apply if you are already registered and run the NASA race.

#6 - It will be a lot cooler at this event vs the Sept event so don't wait until the last minute and get left out in the *cold*. :-)

Thank you for your continued support of NASA Arizona!

I don't think I'll participate in the NASA events - but I sure do want to go and check it out - maybe be an extra hand/wrench in the pits if needed.

Too much wear and tear on the car/brakes drivetrain. I wouldn't be too comfortable unless I had some additional coolers for the transmission and engine oil and possibly for the power steering as well.

That being said - I am really interested in trying out drifting - HA!

XwChriswX · 09-21-2009, 08:53 AM

Hey guys, anyone know of a good shop on the West side of town? I would like to work with Intensepower, but I can't get to Chandler every day due to my work. So something on the east side would be awesome!

travisjb · 09-21-2009, 09:42 AM

Chris, suggest you post your question at the NASA AZ forum... you'll get lots more ideas there

XwChriswX · 09-21-2009, 09:44 AM

Do you have a link for it?

travisjb · 09-21-2009, 03:09 PM

Copied from The Intense Motorsports Prop Thread cause well, all AZ customers need to know this..

I wanna give MAD Props to Han and EVERYONE at INTENSEMotorsports. This is really a great shop and a wonderful bunch of guys. After playing PM/Phone Tag with them I was able to get to their shop and get my tC worked on. Granted it was nothing like building a 1000+HP Supra, or an amazingly customized G35, but they took the same initiative and effort as they did on those cars into my simple bumper swap/resonator install. Not only did Han himself go pick up the part I needed, but he welded it in himself, and I have to say it is extremely well done.

Aside from the mechanical side of their wonderful business, everyone that worked there was as friendly as could be. Even Nism0 was curtious as can be! (And you only need to go there to know who that is). These are a good bunch of guys that took the time to even take me to lunch with them while my car was on the lift.

And I just wanna finish up by saying that I can't wait to finally get my Z, which again as I can't stop saying these guys are wonderful. The guys workin in the front office gave me all kind of help and advice and just the professionalism of this shop doesn't end. They won't just treat your car like a machine and you like a wallet with a mouth. I look forward to bringing my Z into their shop and letting their imagination and dedication bring forth what I want this Z to become.

Thank you so much guys and you will most definately be hearing from me again.

- Chris

They are a great bunch of guys there. I HIGHLY Reccomend them!
