He decided to get new wheels.

And no need to apologize man.

If I still have a working z, I will be at the next run.


Dude, I already ordered my wheels a month ago. Zero know this. lol. Good thing the wheels got delayed. If they weren't, they would have be damaged.

What happened?

christian370z

I agree, thanks for coming out everyone! I had a blast, especially with my ride of terror with Vic haha. It was a beautiful day (albeit a bit warm) and you can't beat the good company. It will probably take a little while for my videos to upload but I will have pictures up tonight, I can't wait to see the footage from Andrew and Chris.

Next up will be Ojai, dates will be proposed and we can decide what works for most of you guys.

Nelson: don't even worry, we will always have your back. Sometimes things happen and cars can be fixed/replaced but you can't be. I sincerely hope this doesn't scare you away from the meets, it is always a pleasure to have you around.

I was thinking that too, and then I thought, "Damn I'm spoiled. I'm actually finding a reason to talk sh** about a warm day in January!" LOL.

Dude, we're all just glad you are okay. You might have given us a scare, but "ruin" is far from our minds. If you feel really sore in the morning, you might want to think about getting checked out, just in case. I think you'll be fine, but it never hurts to be sure.

^I was just joking.

Was your suspension damaged? Maybe you could pull off some coilovers or aftermarket springs/shocks with the insurance money.

Wouldn't really be drivable that way, but your car did look really aggressive with the front bumper that low to the ground lol.

Haha, that is great to hear. I will bring some bubble wrap for you too!

I know haha, I was trying to best to avoid using the air con to keep drag off the engine but I said forget it after I started feeling like I was roasting. My car said it was 85 degrees before we stopped for gas, it certainly felt it.

Yeah, I said that he has got the ride height down but he might need to work on his wheel fitment haha. It might have been better in different circumstances.

I believe Forgestars are in Nelson's future.

great pics chris

Here are my pictures of the day, I didn't take too many but there are some nice shots that came out. My videos might take a while due to their size and some editing I am going to do but I aim to have the first one uploading to youtube tonight. I regret not pulling over to snap a picture of the sun rise, it was gorgeous.

Hope you enjoy!













Jack in the Box, otherwise known as Jack in the Crack. So choice!







I thought Vic's GTR and the curved road sign would make a fitting shot:








And a final shot of the view from the top of the Snake:

Just got home about 30 mins ago. I drove about ~230 miles today from Alhambra, to Glendora, to Malibu, back to Alhambra, to Orange, back to Glendora, then home. Break-in period is done.

I missed you guys since I didn't actually get out of bed until 9:00 am and didn't arrive in Malibu until 12:00 pm. I spent a good portion of the day at the Getty Villa and didn't actually do any canyon driving until 5:00pm when the sun was about setting. I made a stop at Neptune's Net for some seafood, but the place smelled really gross so I left. I drove all of Latigo and took the 101 back.

My oil temps reached upwards of 230-240 and that got me a bit nervous during my spirited driving. I turned off the AC and started venting hot air immediately. The oil temps dropped to around 210-220 after 15 mins of venting. I'm definitely installing an oil cooler in the spring.

I'll catch you guys another time. I love canyon driving.

Thanks for the vid, but gosh, it seems super slow on video. Pretty unfamiliar with that stretch so it hides my poor driving too lol.

Trips

You did pretty good
