hummm... im going to need new tires on the nismo set next summer so im thinking of getting RE11's but not sure if i want to wrap them on the weds (dark wheels) or on the nismo's... while the DW's on the weds are fine, i think im going to sell the tires. i want firmer tires since my suspension is stock.

You won't consider PSS?? Put the PSS on the one you choose to use more often or spirit motoring....

Then wrap the DW on the other set...

Personally I don't really like the RE11, mainly is 1) Price 2) Wet Performance 3) Tread Wear.

i see a lot of people with this problem now that the car and locks are getting older. it's a matter of when not if. :D

The Z is only 14 months old, but I am going to try to take out the fuse on next Wed, still, having a peace of mind is the most important. :tup:

ill see later next year. Lots of new models coming to the market (golf, mini, fiesta st). i want a car that's practical and reliable but also fun to drive. ill keep in mind that fit will not be made in japan anymore.

Is your fit 5 speed?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

the fiesta st wasn't available this summer so i didnt take a look at that, but the normal fiesta with the bells and whistles, i did. :) yep, mine is 5speed. it revs high on the expressway but mpg is still around 40mpg on the gauge. i get average 33-34mpg and more when i do my weekend drives. lol

But... I will suggest you stay with the Weds since it adds personality to your Z.. which is a good thing... :tup: :tup:

The camera bag.... :icon17:

"Crop"..... "Crop"..... :icon17::icon17:

thanks, mr.alcheng. yah, the weds do give it more character, but the nismo's are cleaner, i think.

Kensan you should stay in the light. Stay away from the dark side. Since putting mine awy I bought a CAI and SC overdrive pulley. The kewl thing is that they do not require a tune and add 75 rear wheel hp.

Character... more important, and that's why you chose those Weds, your character/style/taste...

The NISMO... nice but... character... go for character...

What can I say... I'm a procrastinator :icon17: I've got the piece to make it, but I was originally looking at replacing the shift boot and put it off. Also, there's not really a gap because the desert eagle shift knob is so tall and I have it screwed down pretty much all the way. I'm ok with how it looks now, but I'll probably do it on whim sometime down the road when I want a little change. I've got the DIY printed out and organized in a binder :tup:

I like the nismo wheels :tup: and I'm usually a fan of darker wheels. I think the difference in the lighting in the two pictures is throwing me off a little - I want to see the darker wheels in a little more light.

I really don't think it was that big of a fiasco. Yea, it was irritating that he thought the original black backing would be acceptable, but he found a solution and provided a free replacement to those who needed it. I'm inclined to give a forum sponsor a little more leniency, and I understand that stuff happens, especially when its a new products being released to the masses

I"m about to order a set but he's going to leave the backing white so I can paint it, and not attach it to the emblem so I can send the emblems off to get black chrome finish. :tup:

With regard to just the Z badge emblems, if Simota says the emblems are quality I'm inclined to believe him. I'm not sure they've got anything else I really want. Do you have specific experience with poor quality from them before? Either way, I'm sure you have your reasons :tiphat:

Yes, I purchased B-Pillars from them and received them with a manufacturers defect. I tried resolving the situation with Jay at EVO-R to no avail. I tried via email, PM on this forum, even with pictures in his threads... no response.

I had to open a dispute with PayPal to get a refund. I was still out money shipping the product back. :shakes head:

My experience, along with what I've seen others go through on this forum with EVO-R tells me not to send him money.

Fair enough. I'm hoping I've let the dust settle enough that the transaction can proceed smoothly. Hate to hear that you had those problems and sucks that you couldn't get it resolved :thumbsdown:

OK now I'm pissed. I decided to clean my hood with water real quick to see of the spot would clear up. It didn't. So I proceeded to inspect that portion of my hood for further evidence of a defect and wouldn't you know that I found two more spots! Who wants to see crappy pictures?
