Why?
Why?
I don't understand why...
Why would anyone take the "raison d'etre" of a car, in this case, superb handling, and not just ruin it, but demolish it.
*sigh*
hella-flush
I saw a 350Z slammed/stanced. Young guy. Wants to buy a Nismo and do that. I smiled when he said I can't really afford it. You know ... the car actually looked nice except for the mass negative camber. I liked the wheels. The tires however were all scarred up because he forgot to roll his fenders with a baseball bat.



I did not see it bounce down the road on cut springs like it was on a f-kin pogo stick.

I do not have personal experience. However, those I have spoken with at autocross events this year say they are the hot ticket. Grassroots Motorsports did reviews on them in June and July. Here is a link to their podcast. I am a little concerned that they might overheat when driven hard on a track for a 20 to 30 minute run.

Those do NOT look like spill proof slushy containers...

(Z day 2 or 3 I managed to send my coffee mug flying and disprove it's proclaimed "leakproof"-ness)

Blacked out some more chrome, the rings around the Z, really just the Z and the exhaust tips left.

They aren't, but she's a car girl and very careful about things like that. Now the boy on the other hand...

What did you use to black out the edges of the side markers?

Today I got to observe as my Z sat in the driveway since the freaking clutch just sank on me yesterday hahaha XD unfortunately idk if it's a bleeding problem, an air leak (air going into the lines, or worst case the CSC) but I'll find out soon enough. Been following a couple of threads here on the issue.
