Z Car Blog owes a big thank you to this young man. During the last few years, ZCG has been lucky enough to have Forbes spreading the Z car passion (in person and through this blog). 2010 will be a big year in Forbes’s life as he continues his education. I will do my best to pick up where he left off. And believe me, Forbes will always be part of the ZCG crew. Happy Birthday buddy!!!!
The new year is 14 days old and ZCG is back from the holidays with a vengeance. We hope all you Z car fans had a great holiday. The first week of the year was spent prepping for the Silicon Valley International Auto Show. Each year, Z Car Garage has been lucky enough to have a spot in the Tuner tent. The display consisted of Z’s of all generations from early S30s to the new 370Z model.Thanks to all our customers for their support and allowing us to share their Zs with all the San Jose locals. Stay tuned… a great year lies ahead.
It’s been awhile since we’ve posted anything on our shop 370z, mainly because the shop has been crazy busy with customer cars. If you remember the last time we took the car to Thunderhill Raceway we experienced less than satisfactory performance out of the car in stock form. This led to the addition of HUGE StopTech brakes, bigger swaybars, and lowering springs from Eibach.
What we didn’t advertise is that we’ve had an oil cooler of our own design on the car for some time and the track day last weekend was it’s first real test of the second version. More on that in the full Norcal UFO track day post a little later this week. Another change we made is to put the R35 GT-R wheels back on the car. You may have seen pictures of the car when it was stock with these wheels on it but it is now a whole different animal now that it is lowered. the stance and look are now perfect in my eyes, take a look at the pictures to judge for yourself.
