Hi All,
Introducing myself to the forum as a previous 370z owner and now an excited owner of a 2024 Sport MT. My love affair with everything motorsport started years ago in highschool with a handfull of Rx7's and 240's I wrenched on up until the last 10 years which has been mostly filled with hot hatches as daily drivers. I had my 2014 370Z for a few years but let it go after I had my daughter and bought and built an MK1 Audi TT which is used mostly for HPDE events in its current state.
Onto the new Z - it has been a fantastic car in the 5k miles I've put on it. It all started last Oct when i first starting seeing inventory in the Chicagoland area, a few phone calls later and I walked out of a dealership near the WI border with mine for thousands off msrp. I fitted swift springs, which aligned just fine with the factory hardware at -2 degrees camber front and back. I installed a ST front sway bar and this helped make the handling more nuetral. I installed a "Rockauto" rebuilt caliper upgrade off a infiniti sport model with rotors and their DFC active performance pads for the front and track pads on the rear to help even out the bias (increadibly all for about $450 to incl rotors and fluid). I decided to keep the stock muffler and installed an ebay 350z y pipe, remark midpipe, and some generic lower downpipes. The stage wheels are 18" and were a clearance item with a good performance orientated offset and are a staggering 40lbs lighter than the stock 18s with the Potenza Sports I had installed. The misimoto front plate mount was a solid purchase as well.
The plan is to sign up for a few events this summer and see how it perfoms and continue to tune from there!
