purdy :tup:

Thanks fellas. Needs some other exterior mods now to match the agressiveness of the wing. Front lip and side skirts at least. It needs rotors first though after a year of tracking. Wish I could spend the money on a front lip instead of rotors though. :(

yeah a nice aggressive lip to help balance the wing is what you need for sure.

My fronts are off already and the rears will be off this weekend. I can sell them to you super cheap but the shipping is going to be killer.

PM me info on how many miles are on them and what price you would want. Maybe it will be worth it. :) Do you have a micrometer to measure thickness?

Broke down and spent WAY too much money on a new set of wheels today lol. 60-90 day wait, but I couldn't help it....

With matte black centers.

Anybody want to buy some 19" Forgestars? Guaranteed no wait. :)

Size/color/offset?

On the SSRs or my Forgestars that are now for sale? The SSRs are...

19x10+31 front
19x11+24 rear
Matte black w/polished lips.
275 front 305 rear tires.

I do love your now "old" wheels.... Don't think it's the right fit for PW though.

Black & white is as classic as it gets! Please don't go gold... So 2007. :D

Definitely not going gold. The matte black is really the question. Don't realistically have the money for wheels anyways. Plus I have NISMO wheels :D Maybe something different down the line.

Like my toofuses?

^^^lol, exactly.

Just couldn't resist could you? LOL

They are sexy wheels.

Looking good Mike! Any plans for interior work such as seats are harnesses?

Curious do you know what the fastest NA 370Z (both stock and modified) have run at BW13?

Nope, mod bug strikes again. :(

http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...d-courses.html

Right now, from what I know. It was the blue Robispec/Pizzafactory 370Z at Super Lap Battle 2009. Yokohama AD08 street tires and 2009 GrandAm ROLEX GT2 champion Leh Keen behind the wheel. 2:00.585. A record that will surely be broken this year now that these cars have more performance oriented aftermarket support. Or someone who shows up with R-Compounds and a mildly modified 370Z.

As for interior plans for my car. My BRIDE Zeta IIIs are currently up for sale. Would eventually like to get some Cugas or some other aftermarket reclineables since its going to stay a daily driver. Thats about it. Since it wont be seeing much track time, if any, anymore there will be no roll bar or aftermarket steering wheel, or anything fun and I am not into stereo systems or any other traditional "show car" stuff so it will remain simple.

Cool Mike, but you are keeping your wing?

Yes. I have an obligation to Kognition to run the wing for 2010, but even without that obligation it would probably stay. Although I think its over-scale for the car as it sits right now, at the time we designed it, our number one goal was to build it to the maximum limits of the time attack Street Tire Class rulebook. Had I known at the time that I would not be racing the car this season I probably would have opted to go with one that is not as wide and maybe not as tall for aestetic purposes. I personally find a lot of beauty in functional aerodynamics and will always favor agressive aero over your typical show car styling, thats just my personal taste. I think the depth and size of the new SSRs will help make the car look wider thus make the wing not look so oversized. Plus the addition of an agressive front lip and some flatter style side skirts will add to the agressive look and be a better match to the wing itself. Plus its not to say that this car wont see some track time this year, it just wont be seeing competition. I still want to keep it as track ready as possible in case an opportunity presents itself to get it back into the action.

I just bought these wheels as well. The first batch of wheels will be done being made in 2 weeks than another 1month and 2 weeks to package and get to SSR. Your might be in this batch. I bought these in the specs in my sig. they are the sames specs as the red 370 you have a pic of. The same red z in the ssr ads. These are the lightest wheels ssr has ever produced. How big of a rear lip is that???

2010 is going to be an exciting year for the 370Z on track. It will be interesting to see how far the car can be taken, in both NA and FI forms.

Yeah I hope it is. I hate waiting. :) I got different sizes than on the red car. I opted for a 10" front instead of the 9.5" on the red car although my front lip will be the same and the fitment will be the same. In the rear though, I went with an 11" while the red car has 10.5" and a bit different offsets and mine will have an even deeper lip than on that car. I think the one on the red Z is 108mm and the ones going on my car are 118mm.

Agreed. It is an exceptional platform. It has its shortcomings with the fuel starvation and oil temps, but its got exceptional potential in the handling and power departments.

looking good, mike! i never knew about this thread until now. what a surprise to see your last pic with me in the passenger seat!

so when are we gonna see you out at the track again? you should try to make it out to big willow with speedventures on the 21st (even if it's with another car). it'll be fun.

hey Mike, what are the specs on your forgestars? I'll try and get them sold for you :tup:

I would love to go out to Big Willow, I am itching to get back out on a track. Unfortunately the 370Z was at its weakest out at streets of willow when I took you around. That was the last event for those tires and those rotors, not to mention I somehow got a crack in my oil cooler so thats garbage. I should be getting some new rotors soon, but tires and a new oil cooler still have to get purchased before I can take the 370Z back out on track. Not to mention, I will be doing an event out at Buttonwillow that day for charity with the Berk Technology 135i. More details to be posted on that soon.

19x9+24 front, 19x11+33 rear, Matte Black, new design center caps. Will be sold without tires. Haven't come up with a price yet, but for the right offer I will sell them and roll around on my severely worn track wheels/tires for 60-90 days. :)

Let me know if you get a price in mind. We've got a big meet/car-show coming up in early march around here, so if you haven't sold them by then I'll advertise that you have basically the same wheels as mine for sale :tup:

Thanks! :)

On a personal note...

Spy Optic came back on as a personal sponsor for my driving efforts in 2010! And I re-designed my website...

Bonanni Motorsports | Home

As for the car. Finalizing my 2010 vinyl layout for the car this week and will get it applied next week in time for the Berk Technology Charity Ride-A-Long/Hellaflush 3.5 event. The new livery will be colored to match the new 2010 Berk Technology Time Attack 135i livery since the 370Z will be on display in the Berk Technology pit area at all of the time attacks this year. The layout of the sponsor logos will be MUCH simpler than in the past. Going for a crowd pleasing "clean" look. Parts wise, all I am waiting on is the SSR SP3 wheels to get built and delivered. I am also working on a few new sponsorships for some exciting parts, but who knows if they will happen.

To be honest, that iFrame is terrible.

Grats on the work though. Saw some of your 135i vids :tup:

Hey now, go easy on me. Self taught web designer here. I didn't even know what iFrame was a few days ago. :) Step 1 was to get the content on there, step 2 is to figure out how to smoothly integrate it.

php includes are the cleanest way. unless you're talking AJAX, which above even my head

No no no, I don't know what any of that is. Think much simpler. By self taught, I mean I Googled "how to integrate one website into another" then I found out what iFrame was, then I Googled "free iFrame HTML code" then copy and paste into Dreamweaver. Thats the level of expertise I am working with here. :D

But now I have a new thing to Google thanks to you! PHP includes... :D

It's pretty easy overall but it does require some understanding of code as it pertains to variables and functions. Using a combination of XHTML, CSS, PHP, and .htaccess you can make a site seem like it's much more than it really is. Makes it very easy to expand and modify too.

I made this site for my old work and got massively underpaid for it. They effed up the logo/header some but the functionality is all there. Look at the "directories" and the links. Then look at the source code. It abides by all standards, and displays almost 100% identical across all browsers.

When it comes to understanding or reading code I am pretty much clueless, especially if its something other than basic HTML. CSS, PHP, XHTML...no clue. I really only know how to copy/past code and do stuff in Dreamweaver that has a button, like changing font color lol.

Heh fair enough. If you run into any speedbumps feel free to shoot me a PM. Glad to help.

^^^Thanks! :)

Mike, you should look into jQuery. It's an open source Javascript library that simplifies regular day-to-day Javascript, as well as AJAX, DOM manipulation and effects, animationand, and etc. You don't have to be a web developer to use it. It's simple enough that web designers use it too. You just have to take some time to learn it. There is plenty of documentation and tutorials on their website and there rest of the web.

The majority of rich content websites use jQuery. You probably have forgotten about it by now, but I used it when I made that demo website for you a few months back. I mainly used it on the image slider and a menu hover effect.

Good luck. :tiphat:

^^^Thanks! :)

yeah my mouseover menu on that site is handled using only CSS. I've used a lot of those java scripts for things like that though.

here's the ONLY menu image used for it.

and the code:
Some of the things you're able to do now is awesome. I remember coding javascript functions and creating images for menus with 4 different states. Annoying. Now it's easy :D

Ok enough computer jargon, back on topic. :)

A slightly used set of StopTech slotted front and OEM rear rotors on their way thanks to ChrisSlicks!

Are there better rotors that work with the stock BBK yet, without having to buy a full kit?
