You know evasive is having a big meet feb 2nd right.. Dyno day and everything.. He has a good size list of people showing up .. And willow springs is not far away.. This is the first car I've been on the track with and it was more fun then my bike on the track, the peace of mind of not wadding it up in a corner helped lol

I actually picked up my springs from Evasive yesterday and Randy told me about their dyno day. I'll be working that day, but I'll see if I can get the day off so I can go too. So hopefully I'll be there too. I've never tracked any car before, but I'll definitely take the BRZ to the track once I get more comfortable with it

I had so much fun I'm hooked.. I'm on long term vacation for awhile until I find something, so trackdays are limited, but it was to much fun.. I left all the nannies on because it is my first day, some told me to turn them off.. Two of the experienced driver told me to keep the, on until I got more comfortable.. I felt them kick in a few times, and it's good because I think I was already over my head, but the car saved me... Errr itself lol... I thought I was going to be able to shut them off after a few sessions.. But never felt like they was holding me back, just kicking in when I was over my limits..

I liked that

Thanks for that info!! Funny thing is I was actually trying to decide if I would turn traction control off or leave it on for my first track day. Since it will be my very first track day, I might just leave them on so I don't get too out of control lol

Ya it did. I would have actually liked it to be body color or black, but I didn't really have a choice. I'm considering covering it with black vinyl.

Where did you get the springs installed?

First I would like to say congrats and welcome to the community. But getting rid of that 350 was a huge mistake. That thing is gorgeous!

I wanted Evasive to install them, but they're super booked for about the next 2 weeks. So I went here instead. The owner is really cool and they have a nice shop.

Thank you! I still miss that 350Z, but I think I had a good reason for selling it. '06 manual transmission Z's were pretty popular for oil consumption. And I burned through quite a bit of oil. Even though Nissan changed out the motor twice under warranty, it still didn't fix the issue. If it wasn't for that, I would have kept it
