I thought you had used Motul when you first got it, but it made it really noisy?

I take it that you and the BERK team are doing good this season?

thin stuff for break in and then switched to thick stuff, and noise was eliminated

Haha, yes. So far so good. First event we got 1st place and set a new track record in our class, second even we got 2nd place. Third event is at the end of the month, hopefully we can land on the podium again! :)

Well I would rather be driving, but I suppose sitting right seat in Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Audi R8s, Porsches, and Aston Martins is the next best thing. :)

So after much thought, I have decided to part out & sell my 370Z. Not for any reason in particular other than wanting something a bit better at being a daily driver. When I originally bought it, my number one goal was to get something that was brand new that I could use as a project car to help get my company's name on the map. My second goal was that it had to be something that was going to be a capable time attack platform. My third goal was that it had to be civil enough to be a daily driver. Now that my company is out of business and I have another team to drive for in time attack that leaves the 370Z as just being a daily driver. If I am only going to have one car that's only purpose is as a daily driver then I want something a little more practical and more comfortable since I drive out of town probably every other weekend.

I am going to take my time parting it out while still using it as a display vehicle and a daily driver. I am going to part it out in stages most likely, starting with stuff that doesn't have a big impact on the way it looks with the hood closed on display. The second group of parts will be the stuff that I only need on there if I am going to be tracking the car, and so on. There are also a lot of parts that I will need stock replacements for as a lot of my stock parts were given to companies so they can use them to develop aftermarket parts.

Here's a list of stuff that I will be removing from the car and putting up for sale right away. PM me if you're interested in any of these parts.
- Kognition Design V1 Dry Carbon Fiber Rear Wing
- 19" SSR SP3 wheels (Matte Black w/Polished Lip) BRAND NEW in box.

I will be doing separate for sale threads for this stuff as soon as they are off the car, but just to give you guys a heads up. :)

Sad to see you go, Mike...but PMing you now for some of your stuff :)

theDreamer 05-10-2010 06:33 PM

Sad to hear this Mike, but I can understand your reasoning. :(
I assume you are still going to be racing the Berk 1 series car?

Yes at least for the rest of this season, hopefully they'll keep me around for next season too. :)

Well you are constantly on the podium from what I have seen, so I see no reason not to keep you. :tup:
