Yer a premium. Go take a look in the conference room. I put a picture up. It's a page or two back.

Nice whip man! Standard? OAN Happy born day yo :tiphat:

Yup. Base. But it has a ton of options and it certainly isn't a slouch. Good bang for the buck.

You mean that thing?

Just paid off my car :happydance::happydance::tup::tup::driving::drivin g:

Such a good feeling.

Just got back in town this morning at 2am... smh... had to work today and now school... at least it is nice and I drove her... btw, anyone with a black 370z today w/exhaust? kinda zoomed past me and caught me off guard on shore drive... I let my buddy drive to lunch today so I can take a nap, lol...

I bought FI RTP! It should be in the mail this week! UpRev is my next MOD!

I've been spotting more and more 370z's around these parts lately....is it just me or have you guys noticed that too?

On a bitter sweet note, I may be selling my exhaust/intakes and selling my Z. With luck, I'll be buying a house on a mountain. Undeveloped road and drive way = 1.3 miles where you need a 4x4. Small cars can make it, but not something you want to do to your Z everyday. (Hell, I don't even like my Z to get wet!) So hopefully the moons line up for me.

Mountain? Where????

Sounds awesome.

I thought you said something about going to the west coast

Hampton? :icon14:

Arizona. Ok, so not mountains, but some big hills. If I get the house, I will post a pic. Had some family stuff come up in the past few weeks. Really thought I'd be in my current house forever - but guess thats what life deals you. Good bye 5 years worth of projects! Now someone else gets to enjoy all my bank account's hard work lol.

Darketech, I agree that I've been seeing a lot of 370z running around lately too... I spotted two white ones (not yours) and a black one this week alone. The black one had an exhaust from what I can tell.

We need to all meet up soon....and invite some of the folks who don't realize there is a community!

I'm pretty sure u and I actually live across the water from each other. (Elizabeth)

Yeah I saw a base sport this morning when I was taking the kids to school. Was in my SUV though.

yeah, I agree... give me three more weeks and you'll see more of me... I am finishing grad school, I am working on my capstone project, and taking a break for at least a year before I start my doctorate program in NY.

Made an appointment to get my car tuned March 27th at Moore Automotive. Can't wait! Next mod after this is harness bar/harnesses. Hopefully my tires will last through the season and I don't have to get new ones this year.

Onelownismo, let me know how it goes... I might schedule an appointment afterwards...

BTW, I got my RTP installed today and it sounds GOOD and feels strong throughout pulls... Not much louder in the cabin but definitely deeper tone... can someone explain the "hissing" sound during the deceleration? I read that it is normal after installing HFC or TP.

That is the infamous "rasp" commonly associated with the VQ platform and any kind of freer-flowing-than-stock-cats setup. You can get a hint of rasp with HFCs as well. You'll hear it in the cabin but outside the car it is nearly indiscernible. Nothing to worry about.

Cool...but why does it rasp. I thought that FI stated that their cbe and tp combo does not rasp at all.

Meh. You'll always get rasp from test pipes. It's well documented throughout this forum. You need HFCs if you want the rasp nearly gone. RTPs aren't enough.

The answer to your question as to "why." I'll let someone that knows that specific answer tell you but we all know they do it and that's typically enough.

Btw, RHFCs are the best for an NA car where you absolutely want zero rasp but still want the best flow along with the benefits of keeping your torque figures. TPs on this car result in a net loss of low end power. You need that back pressure for something!

I plan on force induction next year :)

So a dude here in the area did FI exhaust, LTH, intakes, ported upper and lower mani, ported TB and tune. Came up to 325ish at the wheels or something like that...

...for a grand total of right under 5k.

****, this car is expensive lol. At that point me thinks I'd rather save up for a FI TT setup.

On another note, I really like the new mustangs, which is something I thought I'd never say.

I'll give her the "special sauce" haha. But I'd be glad man, just let me know! Though I leave in the next few weeks, going on a business trip.

Ehh you're still looking at like 8-10k for turbo kit and tuning.

True, but the gains are exponentially larger.

All depends on what you want I suppose man.

Alright ladies. its warm. Quit yer Bitchin. Departing The Target parking lot in Hampton at 7:30am to head to Williamsburg Cars and Coffee. For the new people that haven't participated before, it's a good time to hang out with fellow enthusiasts of all makes and models and talk shop or don't, drink coffe or dont and then head to brunch afterward. Last C&C I attended up there (January I believe) it was ******* cold but we had a great turnout including local Z owners from VB. Brunch was excellent unless your name is Tim and you just suck at life. :stirthepot:

Anyhow... If anyone wishes to meet up locally and caravan up to the meeting spot, be at the Starbucks off Independence and Investor's Place just south of 264 no later than 6:45. We'll depart promptly at 6:50.

As always, my buddies from the Acura club will be in attendance. All good people. Join us if you can! Since it'll be sunny and almost 60 on Saturday we may very likely do BBQ for lunch. There's a couple of good places up there.

Shine em up! Hope to see everyone there!

I'll hit you up in a few weeks. (two to be exact).. I got to finish my research paper tonight :(

Man that food made my stomach hurt :icon17: But I'll be there on time:rolleyes:

Ya damn right you will be. :tup:

take pics!

Lost my good camera in LA. :shakes head:
