I would love to track my car someday soon but there is not anything close. Unless you know of something. I would prefer a track rather than a parking lot with cones. (not that there is anything wrong with clemson autox) just my preference.

Carolina MotorSports Park

several events coming up soon there, including a Carolina Z Club track day :driving:

What brakes do you have? I think im gonna try some stainless steel brake lines and some good aftermarket pads before I go all out with a new setup. The stock rubber lines flex under hard braking and aftermarket pads will grab harder. From the looks of it the disk are by far big enough. At least for what I do. Im gonna go with Z1 cooler because of there price, good service, and they really helped me out with my 02's (pricing) when I installed my headers. BTW how did you salvage yours??????

Yeah, that's all I'm going with. Stainless lines and new pads. Maybe 2-pc rotors if some insane deal comes along.

I have always heard great things about Z-1 but I have not bought anything from them yet.

I took the 02 sensors out while still installed on the headers. Then soaked them in PB. Took my time and worked them out slowly with no issues.

:iagree: That's definitely one of the first things I'm going to check. Luckily I have some extra gaskets.

Guys, lets get a group together to go to Zcon. It's right down the road. I'm thinking just for Friday, Saturday, and come home Sunday. Who's in?

i talked to the organizer of zcon at zdayz this past weekend, it looks like me and my friend brennan are a shoe in for the photography this year :woot: there is a local guy who was interested (a friend of one of the committee members) but he only does industrial photography and has no experience with cars. and being a pro shooter, i bet he wants more than both me and brennan combined for his services (and rightfully so). if i get the gig, i will be selling my 7D ASAP and getting a 5D2 ASAP since ZCON will pay me enough to cover the upgrade! :)

I might be interested in hitting up ZCON. I'm new to the Z world only owned a 370 for a few months. But have had a few 24osx with RB'2,SR's. Even had a STI for a while.

I'll have to play it by ear, but there is a good chance I could go.

Welcome! Sounds good. I will start a list of those interested. What color is your Z and any mods?

ok sounds good. Let me know. I'm thinking a bunch of us could split a room and just crash there. Would make it much cheaper.

Interested in Zcon:
