Thanks, I'll have to take you up on that. I'm trying to convince my brothers to come up friday night.

Thanks, but it may be cheeper if you buy me a fifth. lol :icon17:

I changed programs, the universities (only 2) I attended dropped my programs, had a falling out with the dean of a business college and I got in trouble, took a couple years off, you know, the usual.

And to think, I'm actually going to subject myself to a masters program...:shakes head:

Starting to warm up already out here.

Time to enjoy the track while we can and before the events go bye bye.

May 22nd at Speedworld is the next event I am aware of as well as I believe May 10th at Firebird.

there is a nasa event this weekend

also, reminder, there's always shifter karts! see below for latest promo from bondurant... could prob get a group buy at $250 per person for ultimate shifter karts evening session - those tend to be ~3 hours with 40% of time on track

Do any of you guys/girls (I'm not sure who is what yet) know of anyone who does powder coating in our area? Also does anyone know the pros and cons of powder coating the stock Rays? I want to go flat black. I know veru little about it so any help would be appriciate it.

send "Mike" on this board a PM, he's the resident expert...

Thank You. I just spent like an hr reading your thread. Holy crap that car has a ton of work done to it. I was really impressed by the amount of detail of your build. Well done! it gives Noobs like me a ton of info. I do want to point out that Elmo may be 13,2 inches tall gotta count the glow off his fur

haha, welcome to my all consuming hobby and thanks for the elmo info!

finally! thx for the update

:woot:

Finally!! I hate those 1984 cameras. Stay away big brother. I found out a guy I work with sells wheels( who knew) and he turned me on to his buddy that will powder coat my wheels for a very reasonable price. He offers a full replacement guarantee if they chip or suck basically. The only question left; Flat or gloss black. What do you guys think? Car is PG by the way

Go Glossy... That way they catch the light like the clear coat on your car does, unless your not the shiny type?

Hey All!! Finally got my TS CF front lip, Mines CF rear spoiler cover, matte black CE28n's, and coilovers on! I will post good pics soon as I have them.

BTW - Was it a member passing by me on 32nd street just south of Broadway today in a black 370z???

Awesome Endgame! Can't wait to see the pics, although my Z is black, I haven't been on the east side in ages. :ugh2:

Anytime you guys come to the westside post it up, we should get a group together...

Can't wait to post them up!!

sweet! can't wait to see that

re member, did he give you the370z salute?

The salute? Am I missing something or was that a joke? Im a noob on here so it could be either. I keep seeing a Monteray Blue Z on 19th ave and the 101 but I am always stuck at the light too long to get close. Endgame I cant wait to see the pics either.

It's an OG thing, go prem, and we'll teach it to you. :tup:

I see.LOL

Hey guys, so its time to get the windows tinted, and I was wondering has anyone here done it already and if so... 3 things...

1. Who/Where did you have it done?
2. How much did it cost?
3. What % did you go with?


And lastly, if you have a mag black by chance, can you post up some pics if possible so I can see the different combos. Thanks! :tup:

Mine were dealer tinted. I have always been a fan of 5% in the back and front windows but I have to say that the 35% legal has been fine really. It doesn't look as good but I can actually see where I am at night. The blind spots are dramatic with darker tint. I also was stopped and ticketed in my last car so it isn't worth another one of those. I would say between $130 and $170 is a fair price and also check if the windows need ceramic based tint. I know that sometimes the antenna inside the glass can get interference if its metal based film. If ceramic is needed it will cost more, but I'm not sure how much.

1. Dealer Tinted
2. The Dealer said they send to the Specialists here in Tucson and get charged $75-$100. I went to the Specialists for my wifes car Mazda3 and they charged me $200.00
3. 5% in Rear and 35% Legal in front

Here's some pics:

Can you take some of the inside looking out during the day/night? I'd like to get 5% for the color matching, but I'm worried about visibility...

During the day it's not going to be a problem. At night it's a little difficult to see out. I use my side view mirrors more at night to double check if someone is behind me. As long as a there's lights on behind you it's not a problem but backing out of a parkling lot can be a pain. I try to avoid parking where i can't back in.

Awesome thank you! Tuscon might be a bit of a drive for me to get tint done though, anyone know of a good installer here in P-Town?

I had some friends at Sun Devil Auto that used to do it. I think they have all left though. I had my Spec V done at Dannys years ago and they were way over priced and did avg work. The specialists, wow that brings back memories. I lived in Tucson for 13yrs they did many of my audio installs. The guy I go to now for my audio is from the specialists too. I will ask him tomorrow am. I have an appointment to finish my components and wire my nav so I can play video while moving. I will post the info I get tomorrow

these guys (by the arrowhead dealerships) have done three of my vehicles and perfect every time. On the Z they stripped off the dealer 35% and went 15% on the drivers and passengers windows for $70 total.

cheers,

Wow, thats awesome! Thanks Bill! :tup:

[Edit: They do clearbra installs as well! WIN!!!]

Just an FYI-

Beware of Danny's Car wash/oil change/gas station on 18thst and Camelback rd. (located over by the Best Buy). I have had my car there twice where I paid for services that weren't done and when I had the oil changed in my old car the drizzled oil all over the engine bay and fuse block causing me to blow a bunch of fuses. Not sure why I didn't post this the other day when I had issues there yet again.

I know it's short notice but I'm headed over to Blue Agave for some food and drink around 9/9:30 tonight. Best Mexican Food | Phoenix Arizona | Blue Agave Mexican Restaurants Phoenix AZ

Anyone interested?

I'll be there! :tup:

(Hopefully that doesn't drive everyone away! :bowrofl: )

So sorry I missed you guys. I was out in Chandler at my lil sisters grad party all night/day. She just finished up at ASU.

Wait! I was unaware of the 370 salute!! BTW PICS!

No worries, we ended up at Tilted Kilt for a few.

No Excuse. :shakes head:




:bowrofl: Jus kiddin br0! :tup: It was fun.

Endgame. I want your spoiler addition! Does it double/tape on or bolt on?

That could very well be me. try and get a glimpse of the license plate. it will be obvious.

It bolts on with some double sided tape. Intense did something different to ensure it stays on and someone with a wrench can't just unbolt it and take it home...

Thats cool br0, but I decided to go with this new CF Spoiler from Seibon that was discovered...

Make sure you post pics! It looks like the old Nismo 350z Nismo S tune spoiler to me... Which is not a bad thing..
