I received another package from Keizo earlier this week... and it had my ARC intake pipe and induction box!!! I put the parts on as soon as they arrived, and I am very happy with them. The car is very loud now under full throttle, and sounds much more aggressive!

I will replace the blue silicone hose coupler with a black part, and I have ordered some t-bolt clamps to replace the 4 clamps that I currently have. I am also in the process of polishing the front engine cover... you can see the small spot that I tested the polishing on.

Thanks Kiezo!!!

Last Sunday my friend and I took the G35 and 240sx to the California Speedway and raced in an Auto Cross event. Auto Cross events are small courses made with safety cones that are full of very tight turns. You must complete the course as fast as possible, without hitting any of the cones or loosing control of the car. This was the first Auto Cross event I ever attended, and I had a great time!

The G35 was faster through the track, but only because the 240sx was too hard to control. Once the turbo fully spooled up, the 240sx rear end would slide out of control. My best time in the G35 was 36:?? seconds, and in the 240sx it was 39:??.

The first run I did pretty slow so I could get a feel for the track, but by the end of the day I was reaching 60-65mph in the straights. Not too fast, but not too slow either for a small track like this :)
