Had some fun last night, took the car out to break everything back in.
The car did very well, stupid TT systems get me on the top end always, guess I need more power now? Anyways, suspension is still settling but feels great, trying to find that great setting on the EDFC. The new Kenwood head unit also has a lot of little toys and I need to read the manual on to figure it all out.

Smaller pulley could fix that quickly.

Both of you, Brad could not get traction until 4th which helped me, but you just kept up until I ran out of power and then gone. I need to cut some more weight from the car and see if that helps out a bit, trying to stick with my stage 1 for a bit longer.

Stage 1.5 or 2.0 FTW Dreamer. I am getting new clutch cause mine is barley hanging on. Then bigger turbos, fuel upgrade and rebuilt bottom end.

Brad was on 13psi and I was on 6.5psi and we were dead even. Must be the AT and traction. However, at our speeds, traction loss "should" not of been an issue.

A quick update on my car since I got it back earlier this year after four months of being down from the accident. One week after I got the car someone decided to scratch my new rear Nismo bumper.



Shortly after that occurred I had a slight belt issue, shredded. Luckily Baker had one ready for me, towed the car back to them and within an hour I was back on the road, no damage to the car. The belt was around 23,000 miles used. We had checked it a couple weeks prior when I did an oil change it looked good, probably would have to be changed at the end of the summer. Then we had some interesting weather where it went from 90+ to 30 and back to 90+ within a few days. I think this pushed the belt a little and caused a few major cracks which led to it failing.



Things improved, got to drive the car for awhile without issues which is great. Was able to make it out to a few events and C&C meets with some other Z owners.




Stole this one from Houston-Streets.com



And then it was time for more fun, noticed my back end was sliding a bit more. Got under the car and got a nice view of my tires and the lack of tread left. Decided to upgrade to some RE-11s this time and so far they have been amazing.

Hankook V12 after 25,000 miles:

Birthday arrived and got an amazing gift from the girlfriend, which I spent the next 3 days playing with straight.



Was time for an oil change and needed to have the rear bumper touched up. Dropped it off a Baker a couple days ago and was given this amazing machine for a loaner car. It even has SPORT mode, though honestly I have no clue what it does.
