The answer to these questions has become helmet and racing gloves for autox this weekend
Went to texas world speedway today and watched the performance driving school - amazing, looks like the most fun in the world and I'm for sure doing the next one. They were so nice there, they let us take 3 parade laps around the full 3.1 mile road course at "street" speeds. We all had to stay in line and behind a pace car but it was ridiculously fun nonetheless. Snapped a few quick pictures. Still waiting on bulbs before I open a new thread.
I'm gonna get flamed for the last pic cuz it really looks like it needs a drop in that one haha. oh well

Awesome with the helmet! Which one did you get? I have a GForceP and it works pretty well even in the heat (i've used it for Karting so far, but the airflow is pretty good and i actually prefer using it with the shield down). Are you going to the Texas Z Party by any chance?

and GForce gloves

Also ran out and picked up a torque wrench, gloves and yellow crayon at home depot to work on my tires at the event.
I'm undecided about Z Party - I'll probably decide a few days out. I don't think I'll do the driving event, but may come out just to check out all the cars and maybe get a dyno run just for kicks

haven't noticed any difference. MAYBE a little harder feeling but most likely that's just placebo. Doesn't really feel different at all - I've been driving it much more laid back though because I can't go keep going through sets of tires in <20,000 miles like my old ones lol
I did weigh a front wheel/tire of each. The G37 wheel was 55lbs I believe. The OEM Sport front was only about 47lbs! It does have a lot less tread on it, so the 37 wheels are probably 6+ pounds heavier.

I ordered a GForce Pro Phenom in white (i was looking for the SA2005 rating) cuz it was a pretty damn good deal at only $150

Good idea on those "tools", don't forget a nice jack. If you can get hold of a car mag, there's usually anywhere from a 15-20% discount coupon for Harbor Freight, which has some pretty good light duty jacks.
Would be nice if you can make it out there. If you don't run, i believe it's $10 to join everyone at MSR. Or, if you head out to the BBQ the night before you just pay for what you order. I'm not sure how much the dyno will run, but it would be interesting to know how much power your putting down with that Catback, versus, say, me and my relatively stock G.

I hope you utilized Live/Bing.com's cashback and bought it on eBay to save an additional 8%

I've already spent so much more than I wanted to haha -I'll probably stick with the Infiniti jack. It works, a pain in the ***, but it works and saves money so its fine with me.
It sounds like a good time, I'll for sure try and make it out with a friend or something.
well... i already said I don't want to drop it... but thanks for trying to sell your stuff on my thread
Well it WAS a teaser thread cuz I didn't have everything installed at first, but now I've got everything but the 8000Ks in and it's just becoming the real thread i guess...
Further away than the one in post #11? It's hard cuz my camera sucks at picking up lights - it just kinda blends them all together. It really does look great at night though, if you're looking for a real YELLOW fog then I would absolutey recommend the Luminics

Nice mods. Keep it up.
And yes... I get flamed non stop as well... for the drop.
Stay on this forum long enough, your mind about the drop will change. Thats whats happening to me.. sadly. lol
Aesonvirus has been swayed already... lol He use to be hardset on the No drop business as well. In time my friend.. in time. Mark my words. lol I was like you before.
But now, i think, I'll do a drop next spring.
