I've been going back and forth on the home alignment situation. I've never tried my hand at it and am worried I'd screw it up. I also don't know how much I'll be out on the track this year (schedule...

Finally got moved into the new place and got the tires mounted on the new wheels and damn do they look good (IMO).

Ah, that's good to hear. Okay, I guess I need to do a little more research on the radium units then and I'll probably head down that route unless there's any word from CJM. Thanks for your input!

Is the surge canister + top hat modification close enough to the RRP setup? It seemed like there was more than just the surge canister in the RRP kit. And also, the reason I’m trying to avoid boost...

Damn, I’m definitely going to wait for V2 then… I’m definitely in the same boat regarding flow. I’m not planning to run much over stock power for a while, and will not be going FI. Just don’t want to...

I don’t think phunk is doing a batch run right now. Was planning to ping him to see what the plans were on it. I had remembered seeing that it was planning to be offered as a standing product, but I...

Agh, didn’t see that NSXs in decent spec were so much now… I guess my estimation that they were still in that ballpark was wrong, sorry about that! Probably the Z, M2 comp, Cayman would be in your...

I guess it depends on what your ultimate goal for the car is (hard to know sometimes). If you plan on sticking to twisty back-roads and not doing any track days/HPDE or road racing, probably any of...

I’ve had my Z 4 years (2015 MY) which has had the typical issues accelerated by track use. CSC failure, replaced with CMAK from Zspeed. Oil temp issues rectified (mostly) with an oil cooler. Rear...

Finally got around to installing the suspension goodies. And the brake ducts from Z1, but not without a lot of drama.


Went to my buddy's place in Phoenix to knock out the suspension stuff. We...

I think people have been using aluminum or plastic flanges of the correct diameter for the piping. I think the Z1 stuff is 2.5” so a 2.5” flange is what you’ll need. I picked up two off Amazon (used...

Sport/nismo vs base is a pretty big difference. The sport akebonos, although on the heavier side, stop significantly better than the standard brakes. It's not just a new rotor. New calipers...
