    I used a 350z 2003 for a dual purpose vehicle couple years ago; it's a great car for this. Kept mine 100 percent stock drive train. Had Z1 suspension arms, oem Brembo brakes with Hawk pads, BC racing coil overs, Hotchkins sway bars, Konig Hypergrams with Federal rr 265's all around. I was able to turn lap times with or better than pricey German name plates costing 10 tens what I had in the Z. I drove it two and from events in total comfort of the full oem interior.

    Honestly, the ECSs are a tire i recommend to anybody who goes to the track for the first time. Super predictable and the last a looong time. Also, absolutely phenomenal in the wet (A lot of us run them as rain tires still).
    Been curious about the ECFs for our Champcar Miata. Right now we've been running the RS4s because it was kind of the go-to for Enduros for a long time, however the ECF is tickling my fancy quite a bit. Wet performance definitely will be a factor!

  • @jacquesc3166
    @jacquesc3166 2 года назад

    Great video guys, it's too bad there won't be a part 3 where the car either goes FI or gets the full NA bolt-on install & tune. I had a FBO DE coupe for 7 years, though not a revup which this seems to be going by the 7K shifts. That 5600 ish RPM to 7K band feels great and the car never fails to deliver... if this is indeed a revup I hope "precautions" or reliability mods are on the agenda before the giveaway. The new-to-me 2007 GT roadster (HR) I got in August is also AX6 Redline, and in September the car got gloss black Enkei Kojins wrapped in Conti ECS (18X8.5 +25 w/ 245/40R18; 18X9.5 +15 w/ 265/40R18). Same colour theme, same street tires. This video was FOOD for me.

    I ran 275 square on my HR for a long time. If you go down to 255/17/40 the value proposition looks alot better but probably doesn't look as good and you lose a little grip. The drivetrain was dead reliable. It was a fun track day car.

      This really is a sleeper car for track use. With a set of good brakes and suspension mods, the Z has enough power stock to still be quick and not feel underpowered like the BRZ/FRS do.

    the fuel gauge on my 240sx stopped working after the car sat for a while, i assume its just a little rust on the fuel level bobber. A trick i learned is just slam all the doors shut a few times and itll break the level sensor loose and itll start working again

    Do front canards that are mounted like that add any downforce to the front, or is it just more of a style piece. Kinda interested since a lot of the cars that i see with canards have this style, but a lot of other more "serious" cars have some crazy stuff going on in the front

Odd logic. Not sure what Hondas you were thinking about either, S2000's are in another price range and everything else from Honda in that era loses to the Z off the line -- no traction, no torque.
