Late start to the day for me. I'm getting ready to head over to my parents garage so I can fix a left-front suspension problem on the 5.0. I'm getting a loud pop on moderate to heavy bumps and I think I know what it is. Should be a quick fix.

Other than that I'm planning on hanging out with my dogs for the remainder of the day. Maybe take them to the park.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

sounds like a good day!

I motored the Zed... it was cold 54* so I let her warm up for five minutes and gently drove her for another 5 or so till the oil temps where in good operating range.. gave her some hearty doses of boost... and I noticed at first a squeaking when she was under boost, however, after she warmed up alittle more it stopped.. I am assuming perhaps the BoV was just too cold ... sad... my motoring days this year are over...



time to ship her away for some more goodies

Working here in Cocoa Beach, it's all over cast and rainy. I'm gonna need to get new rear tires soon, I've put 10k miles on my toyo proxes and now when I go on the highway after it rains, I can feel the back end slipping around all over the place. I know everyone says not to run different tires, but I don't have the money for a whole new set and my fronts still have a lot of life left on them. Trying to decide if I should do PSS's or Conti DW's...

I grew up going to month-long summer camp between Cookeville and Crossville, probably just a few hours west of you. Log cabins, no hot water, middle of the Smokey Mountains - it was incredible. Lovely country for sure

Same to you, Mr. Mustang. Hope the repair goes smoothly and hanging with the dogs sounds awesome

So you should ask Mr. Onzedge about his thoughts on the PSS. Or I could just sum up for you: GET 'EM!!
btw I'm just about to put my third set of rears on the Z and still running the stock fronts at 25K with no reason to replace them.


Good Afternoon from TX to all taking a break to say hello to my fellow Z family. Going to be later today, I hope. Ms. Pint, I may have to push it to 2 pm or later, but I'm still down for a Lime Creek run. Back to work with college football in the background.

Nothing was wrong with the actual tpms, just set to 28 and when the temp dipped a bit, I guess it set it off. When I checked air pressure though, I got 32 all around. Meh.

No worries on time, waiting to hear back from a few people too. You're driving my car right?

All four of my tires were at or below 30 psi when I got back from DC last weekend. And yes, I would be happy to drive your car. Looking forward to hearing that exhaust under my load

Really I think there's no choice here. You HAVE to go with PSS.
