  • Sold, and gone....

    Well, my 2003 350Z Enthusiast model is officially paid off. It is also no longer my car! My buddy Jasyn "Dozzle" Randazzo took a train from Kansas City to St. Louis last night and drove the car home today. I talked to Dozzle this afternoon, he made it back to KC and was out and about showing the car off to friends. Have fun with her ...

  • Take 3, the Project 350Z is sold yet again!

    Alright, my good buddy Dozzle is purchasing the car! Dozzle, otherwise known as Jason (sp?), is one of my fraternity brothers who lives in Kansas City. Dozzle is getting two extra sets of wheels, 1 set of shocks, and a few other goodies to get his Stock class autocross career kickstarted. Thanks again Dozzle! I've got a week left on the car ...

  • The Project 350Z Has Sold

    It went up on Ebay Today for $14500. I owe 14537 or something, so I'll take a $40 loss on the car to get rid of it. I'll miss it. It's been a GREAT car. Here's to hoping I get the 240Z finished! If I can get it done before May of next year I'll get $50 from Seelig, that'll cover my $40 loss.

  • Rollin on Dubs!

    The new ride is now rolling on 20s! Why you might ask? Because they were a great deal at the time of purchase. I have these wheels and the stock set of wheels/tires to put back on when the weather turns for the worse. Between the 5 cars in the driveway/garage there are 20 wheels and tires on the ground, that's in addition to the 12 extra wheels ...

  • National B Stock 350Z rides available for rent at Nationals

    Due to the fact that I'm not going to Nationals this year (wedding/honeymoon in december and I'm out of vacation) I'm open to the idea that someone else competes my car at Nationals. My usual codriver has taken an excellent opportunity in a BSP STI, so he won't be driving the Z this year. I believe this car to be the most well prepared 350Z in ...

I've towed my 6x8 trailer with this for well over a year now. Even hauled THREE sets ...

    Well, I'm finally back from my trip to Denver, it was a long weekend, but lots of fun at the same time. I'll start at the beginning and try to cover all of the events.

  • 96 B Stock July 9th Runs in St. Louis

    Here are my runs from today, except for Run 4, which of course would have been the cool one because I hit cones on the camera side, but of course I checked to make sure the camera was recording right before I ran, and apparently turned it off. Run 1 ended up getting a rerun due to a downed cone. Run 2 Run 3 Run 5

  • Lessons Learned Today

    STL to DC is to long a darn drive for a day. A Turkey when hit by a Chevy Pickup blows up like a feather bomb. Google Maps Sucks when trying to go to Fedex Field. Related to the above comment, don't drive through DC without a map. We got some thrills today, I shoulda brought my gun. It's time for bed.

  • Project 350Z on the Dyno

    Andy took the 350Z out to Tuxedo Park Racing today to put her on the dyno and get a baseline for performance. Will post results of the dyno tonight! Why do we need a baseline? Well we're hoping to see some improvement from the Nismo Ypipe and custom 3'' exhaust we'll be putting on later this week. Also need to do a few other things before the DC ...

  • Project Z Test and Tune weekend

    I got a few details from Andy on his way back from the test and tune he took the car to this weekend at Grissom. I'll try to do a full writeup later in the week, but the basics of what all has changed include. Hawk HPS pads up front instead of HP+, which apparently solves our Ice Mode problems. Run a full tank of gas, instead of completely ...

  • Project Z workout this weekend.

    Andy's got the Z for the weekend. He's off to a Test and Tune to try to figure out if we can work around the ''flaws'' that the Z has. He's having a special guest driver come in to help with the tuning of the car. He's got 4 front sway bars, new Hawk HPS pads, and 4 new 710s to play with. Here's to hoping he can figure out our ice mode issues!

  • The pain of the Walnut Ridge Pro

    It's been a long few weeks for me. It all started with the St. Louis region driver's school three weekends ago and culminated today with the Walnut Ridge ProSolo. The driver's school went well, the Walnut Ridge National Tour went even better. The Walnut Ridge ProSolo though was far from good. The event itself was great, organized and run very ...

  • Friday at the Walnut Ridge ProSolo

    We got into town early this afternoon. I ended up filling up with gas before I got out of St. Louis, that was a mistake, 200 miles later I still have a half a tank. So I drove the car to the hotel tonight rather than leaving it at the event site, needed to burn off as much gas as I can before tomorrow. We got setup and Andy did the novice intro ...

    The first Cone Clinic was held today at the first day of the Walnut Ridge national tour. A great thanks goes out to the Hollis' for instructing all of the drivers today. We each got 12 runs, had a blast and a great time getting the rust out from almost 6 months off! We start at 9am tomorrow. As last year, the town has welcomed everyone with open ...

  • 350Z Seat Bolt Failed

    I spent this morning with Steven at www.tuxedoparkracing.com fixing my 03 Enthusiast Nissan 350Z. Sometime early last year we, Andy and I, had a seat bolt fail, driver's side rear. We had to provide a quick fix and rigged together a drywall anchor to try to get the seat to stay in place, we were out of town with limited tools and only a home ...
