Now, BMW only has one sport package for the 335 AWD coupes (M Sport), which is the only way to get the sport seats.

ah, yea now its m sport. i forgot. they look really good though the m sport package.

mine is awd and has an oil cooler. its if you get sport package and 18" wheels. so confusing haha.

damn man, one test drive, and you bought the car, and you didn't get a GTR :(

mjg 11-15-2011 09:16 PM

I know you wanted something you can drive in winter too, I had the same problem... I can't complain too much about the Suby though man.

Jb4 FTW ... You need to hit me up Nd go for a ride in mine.

It's getting retardedly fast/fun in this weather as I learn it's capabilities.

I would go jb4 for meth integration. It is sooooo simple and provides huge hp gains on 93 octane.

Jb4 than meth kit than Downpipe and intercooler at third net most gains. Do that to n55 with the auto you should have a sub 12.4 car all day and fast on rolls and go on snow !

I have n54 motor tho, but I'll guarantee I'm easily over 400hp with meth and race gas with my mods (dp,exhst,intAke). Meths been in two weeks and it's simply the easiest 40 hp boost available anywhere with its integration to the jb4 tune.

mr_sk 11-16-2011 07:48 AM

Yeah, I don't have sport. I think in the Spring I'm going to buy a dedicated track car, be it an EVO or 370z. My girl gave me the OK on it, so ... minor mods to the BMW plus some wheels & suspension in the spring. But otherwise I wanna build out a dedicated track car in the spring. I might buy an '09 370z.

hehe I drove a ton of cars this week - the BMW won me over. Not really as a replacement for the 370z, but as a good all year car with lots of nice features and a badass interior.

Like I mentioned above, I think a dedicated mod/track car is in my future for Spring. The girl already OK'd it so, nothing to stop me but finding the right whip.

As far as GTR, yah, I know, bummer, BUT, gimmie a few more years and I'll drive one right off the lot across the street to PM or VTR and have that thing pushing 600whp with 10 miles on the odo, heheh.


I like the subie man - I've driven that same car in '99 - what a blast. I remember us doing donuts in it - my friends parents car, haha.

if you're gonna buy a track car, by something salvage or rebuilt title or that was in an accident. (i know that may be weird advice) but if you are really gonna track it, and gut it and strip it down, you'll save a ton of money on the actual car itself, and for a track car it doesn't really matter as long as its structurally sound.

mef + jay before

chuckd05 11-16-2011 12:30 PM

Just got to BMW see a black 370 plateless. You certainly waste no time!! Lol

My winter car is a Suby too. 97 legacy gt

chuckd05 11-16-2011 02:23 PM

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Jeff get meth. This is meth intercooler e85 mix , meth = 50 additive (18.5 psi) jb4 map 3 (meth map)

This is NOT my car just an example

AlphaSnacks 11-16-2011 02:46 PM

Always sad to see another Z get sold. I've never seen this kind of movement on the 350Z forum.

I might get a Z in the spring - it's probably that or an evo. Evo for tuning fun and Z for straight awesome driving out the gate. I test drove the Evo GSR, nothing to write home about IMO and the opinion brought me back to 1995.

Right on, nah makes sense. I have all winter to decide what I want. I wanna do both straight passes and autox so stripped and lots of low end tq would make me happy. Don't really care so much on getting nice 1/4 times, but running the 1/4 is fun IMO.

I take it no meet tonight - weather is awful. Rain date?

AlphaSnacks 11-16-2011 03:00 PM

No meet tonight. Doubt there will be one tomorrow.

If anyone wants to meet up on Saturday at Performance? I might be there assuming my replacement flex sections arrive in time.

well, anyone who still has 350z is obviously the kind of person who keeps a car for at least a few years. the 370z is still a pretty new car and, like any new car, you get people who change their minds and move on quickly.

I got em all. heh, nah all sorts of crap I guess. I'll show you tomorrow if it's clear. Or if you wanna come through to PM on Sat for coffee. I'll be over at VTR after that probably too.

AlphaSnacks 11-16-2011 07:15 PM

Yeah, if my parts arrive by then...I'll be there. Invidia did good on their promise and have shipped out the new flex sections. :)

Also major thanks to Jomer at FBNissan (an official vendor here), he handled my warranty claim with the snap of a finger - so fast and effortless. Remarkable customer service and speed in response time. I swear, I feel like I'm IMing this guy every time I send him a PM. That's how fast he replies back. LOL

Nick911sc 11-30-2011 10:03 AM

Hey guys,

I never thought I was going to be posting this...But it might come to reality that I might sell my Z...

Getting married and looking for a house soon. If you know anyone looking for a Z you know how clean mine is.

This isn't definitely happening but it's a possibility.

toxik 11-30-2011 10:07 AM

i think i may make a rare appearance tonight
