Default The Last (& Best) Article on my 350z

Well, it is about damn time!!!

The article on my car in Turbo Magazine has finally hit their website.

So for anyone that has not seen the October Issue with the article or wants to see some additional pics of my Z, here you go:
Check out the article if you want to here:
http://www.turbomagazine.com/feature...rbo/index.html

or just check out the pics here:
http://www.turbomagazine.com/feature.../photo_01.html

Unfortunately they did not post the main picture from the article, as that is a pretty awesome shot of the whoel CF front. (He had to composite 3 different angle shots with strobes to get the front looking right)

Here is the car for those that have not seen it yet.


The car is currently up for sale, just had the engine pulled, dissembled, inspected, re-decked and new gaskets put in before re-assembly. The base tune was re-verified on the 13lbs wastegate springs. It will be staying at Forged for the winter or until someone buys it.

Thanks guys. I do wish I could keep it, but the doors are driving me buggy and it would cost around $2 k to get them put back (safely) to normal. So, as I find myself with 3 cars and no longer living in the US, I think it is time to start lightening my financial load.

I am sure tearing out a majority of the audio stuff in the trunk would lighten the car by like 300 lbs and running a conservative 550 - 600rhwp, the car would be a killer on the track. I just don't have the time to devote to it anymore, so hopefully the someone else will.

I will make sure to stop by Forced Performance weekly during my lunch break to drive your car just to keep the fluids circulating.

I am sure Sharif wouldnt mind the extra help on this project!

You DO NOT have to thank me. Anything for a fellow rallier. I am sweet like that! ( and No, not like that)

Thanks Alex, appreciate that help... just remember, you brake it you bought it. LOL

Thanks to you too Bros. I am looking for around $45, but with the market as it is today, who knows... Will see how things turn out, but honestly I am willing to listen to any offer as long as it's reasonable, keeping in mind the long block alone cost me over 20k and I have a complete race spec suspension, driveline, brakes fuel system and over 4k in the engine management units.
