I already am out of alignment. But the car barely gets 3k mile son it yearly since it's only out of storage for 5 months anyways. So I'm not to concerned. The tires were a whole $600 as well. And I eventually plan to get 19s in something so yea.....

StevenSlice 05-15-2018 04:06 PM

Oh well heck, run that track spec camber all the time for maximum back road cornering ability :D

Drove the Z to work tonight. I parked in the Dr's lot and a guy walks up and stands next to the Z. I thought it was security as Im not suppose to be in there but it was the Dr with the Black viper and he wanted to chat about the cars as he always saw the Z but didnt know who drove it. :tup:

Leingod 05-15-2018 05:43 PM

Did my WOT logs for Seb for both maps. First run had the car at 130mph. Yea..... I am overly stupid. I know. Wicked scary at those speeds. Will only be doing this until the tune is done.

2nd run was a bit messier. Still need to adjust the bite point on the clutch a little more. Tricky balancing act at those speeds. I then proceeded to have an old POS impreza riding my arse back into the city because ricerboyz and all that crap....

My setup is (will be) this:

McIntosh MC152 Power Amp (not yet ordered) -- Replacing Adcom 125W X 2 amp

Parasound Halo P5 Preamp -- I already have this -- it replaced a funky Carver unit

Klipsch Forte III -- I am ordering tomorrow and they are replacing a pair of Bose 901

CD Player -- undecided but it is between the Marantz 6006, Onkyo C-7000R or the Cambridge Audio CXC (transport only but the Parasound has an excellent DAC)

jchammond 05-15-2018 06:38 PM

My nearly 30yr. Old setup is a Kenwood KR6050,5-disc CD & VS12 Cerwin Vegas!
It will still Rock,,,just won’t hit the low bass thumps.

I gotta figure out this rattle before we leave tomorrow. It sounds like ****. I think maybe Jlarson is on to something with the heat shields. It started when I put the TPs on. I dont see anything else it could be. Exhaust isnt hitting anything and it sounds like it is right at the TPs. Embarrasing

Leingod 05-15-2018 08:44 PM

I honestly with I was around to help you man. I already sorta miss being under the car poking at stuff....

It's the heat shields. Every time, they cause a rattle.

Like your set up.
I have owned some Kilpsch horns.You can put a lot of power to their speakers without distortion.
Speakers at my house.
PSB Imagine T3 towers.They have incrediable sound.

madwi 05-15-2018 09:56 PM

I wish you would try out some other speakers with a variety of music first.
Those make my ears bleed. But if your old and the upper range is missing- then perfect!

I deal in Def tech, RBH sound, Leon Acoustics, JBL, Golden ear, and some Truaudio.
I used to do Altec Lansing and Boston Acoustics before they went to the crapper. They sure has some nice stuff in the day.

Not sure what you are trying to power the speakers with, but it makes quite a difference if it is a receiver or separate amp and the quality of the amp section.

I hammered out some rain shields for my Trackspec hood vents. Have them so that water drains in front of the motor.

If other people want them. I'll make them for a price. Aluminum not cheap.
