Nissan's VVEL is awaiting it's own Hondata-esque crack so tuners can start messing with it. Can't wait until my 370Z experiences this.

Got the car (c6 z06) tuned a couple of weeks ago, thought I would post up the results.
It made 475/430 with an air intake and LT headers, 492/463 (SAE) with the tune
I am pretty happy with the gains from the minimal bolt ons and honestly probably done with the mods for this car.

I got access to Ford's employee pricing program through my current job, I'm switching my object of lust back to a Mustang.

That's nearly 600HP motor. You can shit on virtually every supercar under the sun, save for the new LP700-4, Koenigsegg, and Veyron.
LS V8s...how do they do it?

Chrysler created a separate SRT brand today. Ralph Gilles, the head of Dodge, was appointed to head the new division.

That symbol looks like the NeoGAF symbol.
Had a fun weekend at CSCS, also this happened;

It's a modern 427 cid...how do you think? Gigantic brute force engine in a body that weighs very little...it's going to fast as shit.AlphaSnake said:

Fuck yeah. That must be an absolute joy to drive. Congrats!

You'll be very pleased. Changing the cam profiles will make a huge difference on amy engine, and on something like the VQ37 it should make awesome gains if tuned correctly. Would be really interested in seeing a VQ37 with better fuel economy that revs to 8k.

^ Ah, haha, my bad.
Thanks Boobs, after the tune it is so much nicer to drive. The tuner fixed an annoying surge issue I had with my intake as well.
Tires are next I think, my wallet is
On that note, where do you guys shop for tires? I have always used tirerack but not liking their selection lately.

Discount Tire.
But usually I just shop around 4-5 different places and find the best price...which often ends up being Discount Tire.

I forgot to mention my 370Z has been treated to an exhaust. Invidia Gemini w/Titanium Tips. It sounds absolutely sensational. Some of the guys in my local 370Z group have canceled and/or ordered the exhaust for themselves after hearing mine. Others installed an aftermarket exhaust and regretted it after hearing mine.
LOL. I didn't think it would have that affect...especially when I told them what I paid for it (in some cases twice less than what others paid for theirs)

Err....well for starters the ad says it is a rebuilt car with a rebuilt title.
Basically the car was not worth the repair by the auto insurance company so it had extensive damage. It was then rebuilt. What damage who knows could of been a major crash, water damage or whatever but enough that the insurance company would not get it fixed. It's a risk because you never know what additional problems the car will have down the line as a result from whatever damage.

Where do you live? If you're in SoCal, I have the hook-up on tires.

Don't you love getting a phenomenal car mod for dirt cheap while others pay out the ass for it? Feels so good. Almost everything on my car was bought for far less than it's worth new.

Yep. Some the exhausts for our 370Zs (Berk and Fast Intentions) are too loud and have individual canisters per outlet, as opposed to a muffler. These canisters all hang so low and scrape, dent, ding everywhere. These exhausts also both cost $1200+. That much money for a headache? No thanks.
Mine cost $750 shipped, even though most vendors sell for over $900. Invidia Gemini.

Haha, yep. Exhausts on 370Zs make big gains (10-15WHP), especially when you get rid of the OEM CATs (add another 10-15WHP). The OEM exhaust is so horrifically built, and restricted it's comical. Most of the restriction comes with the Y-pipe which has these puny and skinny elbows at the flex section...I mean just bad.

My 350Z y-pipe didn't look that nasty or have bottlenecks like that at the flex section.
Alright guys, I need some help. I got my car, a 2007 VW Jetta, a few months ago. It's great, and it's got a lot of aftermarket stuff, and I'm pretty sure one of those is some sort of body kit, it doesn't look the same as most Jettas. I've noticed 2 panels sticking out on the right side of the car, and I have no clue what I can do about it. They seem to have some sort of tab system or something on the inside of each panel. I'm not sure whether these are part of any body kit, or stock panels:
Back right, below taillights, wraps around to back:

Front right side:
Anything I could do?

You can try pushing them in, and they should snap back in place. But some of those panels look so aftermarket that they hardly flow with the lines of the car. Give it a shot, anyways.
You don't think it does? I thought they looked alright (then again, I didn't do any of this to the car, and aren't even sure if it's aftermarket):AlphaSnake said:
Looks like it flows to me *shrug*
But thanks for the tip, I felt like pushing them in, but I wanted a second opinion, I was scared I would crack something or hurt it somehow. I don't have any experience with this stuff =\
Alright, back with results:
The back panel snapped right in. It's not completely flush like the other side, but it looks much better now. It was much more noticeable than the front panel.
The front panel seems to be in no-mans land. I try pushing in, and I feel nothing on the other side, nothing to snap into. The tabs almost appear snapped:
It seems like the entire panel, up until the headlight, shifts when I'm pushing on it. Here's a video of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aK762PX_40
What the fuck

Highly reconmend the Nitto NT05's. i'm running them in 255mm all the way around on my S and the grip is fucking phenomenal. I had Hankook Ventus V12's before and the difference is night and day. Going down a righthsnd sweeping freeway onramp at 70 mph feels like nothing.

Looking at the V6 Mustang. 300 horsepower should be enough for me, and 30 MPG highway should be good enough.

If you're moving the cross over, you're effectively playing with the torque curve. You're simply shifting it left or right and to a small extent changing its peak, depending on engine efficiency (ram charging and pressure/reflective waves, residual exhaust mostly). If you consider want a smooth transition, more overlap right? But isn't that going to reduce the peak of the power curve (and area beneath) because it's now at lower RPM?
