I will definitely do that.

Thanks for the info. I will look in to doing one amp.. that's what I did in my old Firebird.

Do you have any thoughts on JL Audio's stealthbox? It seems pricey but I wonder if the sound and build quality is worth it?

So no one is hitting up ZCON :P? I live across the street from the hotel and i'm debating to go or not.

I was just looking at that earlier .. didn't even know it existed until today. Is it still possible to get in? I thought I read that tickets were sold out.

Only thing i can tell that is sold out is:

"Friday 21st, is SOLD OUT at the primary hotel. The secondary hotel will be the Sheraton Resort and Spa at Wild Horse Pass. Visit the Hotel page for more information on the secondary hotel."

You can register there apparently.

Hello fellow AZ drivers. I come from the NASIOC (subaru) forums to see if there are any datsun (hah), z drivers in the Flagstaff area interested in getting a weekly meet up going, and possibly some day trips here and there. Obviously not restricting the meetups to just subaru drivers, so if you know anyone else in the area into faaaaast let em know about it .

Anyone in Phoenix ever do track days? Thinking about trying it once I get my Z...

I just did one yesterday at Firebird. ProAutoSports runs track days monthly. Lots of fun.

Do they have instructors that'll ride along?

I'm thinking you may have to end up paying for the class, such as Bondurant or the one over here in West Phoenix.

Though, I must say I have the itch now to do some sort of track driving - I did the Raptor Round-Up at Firebird and even at 30-40mph, jumping the Raptors on a dirt course was a blast.

Though, it's a bit easier to be excited about it when it's the first time you've ever done anything like that (aside from Speed Street/F1 Race Factory go-karts).

Yes, instructors ride along. Your first time, they actually require a short training class and the instructor must ride the first session. You will get 3 more 20 minute lapping sessions that same day and the ride along is up to you. Also, the instructors are always available to ride at any of the track days. Great resource for learning new tracks and techniques. They will be having another set of track days Thanksgiving weekend at Firebird if you want to see. Also, some pics of last set on sandersracephotos.com. I highly recommend Trying it.

So, who are the reputable clear-bra installers in Phoenix? Preferably the West side.

Just an update on this:

Found a guy in Tempe who did a great job, really nice guy:

Brian @ Protect-A-Shield. Uses Sun-Tek products. PM me if you need contact info.

Anyone going to the Speedworld thing on the 15th? There's a few Z guys that told me about it.

Hmm, I'll have to think about it. Not sure what I'm doing this Sat. (other than calling for jury duty :shakes head:).

I will probably go! Let me know if anyone else is going! $20 to race and to watch others race til 1am sounds awesome haha..

I just dont have a helmet. Ill have to buy one.

I sold mine thinking I'd never race again.

However, I won't be passed the break-in period by this Sat. anyways. Sure is going to be cold though!

I know there's a lot of guys going from a 350z/g35 group. So i thought i would ask here for some 370 guys :)

I would totally be down with going. If I'm able to get back in town in time that is. At GTM getting my car so if the new csc shows up n I can get back count me in

Rain Forecast doesn't look promising. If its not raining, ill be there haha

Later dates
 

Trying to get another meet together probably sometime in mid January Is anyone interested? If so what days are best i vote sunday.

Weekends are best for me, usually. Sat or Sun work.

Meet In Tempe- 1:00pm on Sat

Damn i wish i was in town for it. Anybody know anything about another one after the 5th?

Where the hell are all the members out here?! I've been searching and have only found a few roadsters driven by moms... doesn't the Z club go on monthly runs??!! I need to find some like minded car guys out here.
:driving:

Oh sheet, I was just cruising a bit ahead of a white Z with some tuner flavor on the 101 eastbound, before Cavecreek and he lost control and wrecked into the retaining wall! Last I saw he slid into the middle of the freeway, but I think (hope... pray) everyone had plenty of time to stop behind him. I called 911 as quick as I could and got a "all circuits busy" message, which I hope is a good sign that people were already calling it in. This was all in my rearview but it looked like he lost a lot of speed before hitting the wall. Either way, really hope you're okay bro, and sorry about the car... damn shame.

I feel ya...I hope everyone is okay too!

From what I could tell, he hadn't hit anyone. Blowout maybe?

Yup, from your description, this is what I would assume. Tire blows, off the gas and probably panicked, hit the brakes and then the car goes hard left. Bad ju ju regardless! Hopefully everyone involved is at home and doing well...no injuries.

:eek: Could you tell if it had black wheels and black/CF accents on the nose??

I might know that Z.

That's the one, sorry to say. I think it was a 370. Kinda stocky, friendly looking white dude inside (sounds like me!), not that I've ever met a mean Z enthusiast. Is he on this board do you know?

Did it look like this?

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1357506447

Err... I know who it Might be, but he was tossing around the idea of selling his Z. So not sure if it's HIM or if its another person in his Z, but if it's him, this is his forum profile: Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: Jake_Epley

Haven't seen him on in a while though.. :ugh2:

99% sure that's the car :(

Damn. I had his number when I was in AZ, but I don't have it anymore. :(

Hope he's alright..

I'm pretty sure he is, but the car's another story (good chance it'll be totaled). I keep searching and can't find any news on the crash anywhere, which is probably a good thing (not newsworthy = no fatalities). I was worried but seriously it didn't look THAT bad... I was in a similar but worse wreck that destroyed my 3rd gen eclipse gt, gave me a few stitches and a lifelong backache, but like I said it *looked* like he was able to shed some speed before hitting the wall, and we weren't going fast at all to begin with (~70 I'd say). I'll keep looking for news stories to make sure there wasn't a pileup behind him, but it looked fine (and no highway patrol has called me for a statement yet). Just sad to see a brother Z go down.

In happier news, I'd love to go to a Phoenix meet sometime!

Chris,

I think Jake Totaled his car back in May.

This was one of his last posts.

I would assume he didnt total the car twice? But stranger things have happend.

Weird... although I only got a good look from the side briefly after I noticed him (then he was behind me the rest of the time /coff) the car looked eerily like that. There certainly could be other white Z's in Phoenix with black wheels/skirts/etc.

I actually just saw a white 370 yesterday up in scottsdale- black sideskirts and all

Same guy? Who knows

Yeah, jake totaled his car middle of last year. We need to get another Z meet together before it starts to heat up.

Ah, okay. I haven't heard from him in a loooooong time, so I didn't know how he was doing. I'm glad he was okay from his accident and the other Z is okay from their accident. :(

I agree. I need to meet a few other locals. I went to Pavilions a few weeks ago, but there were no 370's and about a dozen 350's.

Got the looks though ;)
