Bye Bye Miata...bought 370Z
 

New here. Come from a family of racers/ kit car builders. I've always been a motorcycle girl myself. Haven't raced cars in about 5 yrs. getting back into it with my new 370Z purchase. Ex never would let me race our miata....still bitter about that. Decided rather than hop it up, to buy something sexier and less plain. Tired of racing my folks ZO6 (awesome for straight, sucks for SCCA), dads cobra too....(550 hp, but no comfort and stiff controls for me). Currently building another Super 7 with my dad. Should be complete this month ( assuming he doesn't decide to fabricate some new part on the milling machine! ) Then we are on to putting the factory 5 together. I bought an LS7 for it. This one won't be sold...all mine baby! Expect we'll be working on that 2-3 yrs. Pics and albums to come... It will be obvious, but just so all you gearheads know, I know less than S**t about engines, mechanics, electrical etc... I like to race, do body work, and paint/ design stuff. Excited about making any new Z friends (any girls out there?)

There are a few girls on the forum

welcome! If you are going to track the Z, you will need to do an oil cooler first thing! brake cooling ducts and power steering cooler are also recommended upgrades.

:iagree:

Welcome! Might be the first female track junkie on the forums.

Hi

I would love to be your future ex if I can play with your cars. I'd even let you race my Miata.

^ lol . welcome aboard

Guess that makes the decision for me on the areo kits I've been waffling on (OEM nismo s-tune/stillin)...Stillin's front end is made for cooling. They don't have a 2013 front out yet so I'll have to mod for the vertical LED's and who knows what other fit issues....patience is not one of my virtues. Ha. How much is oil cooler going to cost me and what do you rec on that?

LOL. Sorry but with a hat and stash like that you wouldn't even make it to date one! I do like comedians tho. :)

Are you planning on true tracking on a road coarse or SCCA Solo AutoX kind of events? The 2013 comes with a factory oil cooler (small sandwich plate) that is sufficient for autoX. I took mine out on Sunday to the first event in 90 degree weather and my oil temps never even hit 220. 200ish is what it sits at normally. Had more then enough time in between runs too cool down. Road course racing and you will definitely need atleast a 25 row.
