sounds good about the sway.

does the roaster have a different sway bar vs the coupe?

just wondering. santa has some big boxes to deliever to you this xmas.

Mr.kenchan, I hope you will get well from this very quickly...

I prolly depress for the next 4 months because of the Z-less cold&snowy weather...

Regarding the sway, the fitment is the same for coupe and roadster, I might want to look into the difference of the weight between the two then decide do I need a stiffer sway.

I basically drink anything, but as I said, depends on the place and occasion, if I am dining out causally, then a pint or two is good enough because I have to drive.

But if we are doing a house party.... we usually start off with beer as appetizer, then red or white (or we'll do red AND white).

Then finish the night with some hard liquor..... something like 57% Chinese wine, or non-Chinese... like XO.

We have some 25+ years Chinese wine at that rate (57+) in the basement.... about 15+ bottles....

So it all depends what I choose to drink... but I enjoy it...

I used to be like that too, during the 2 yrs in boarding school we have nothing but pops.... it was crazy..... later on I just cut it out 99.99%. No sugar please....

Becareful on the Red-Bull those kind of stuffs, I've read numbers of articles about those drinks.... they are all about sugars, cos sugars is the main substance that can stimulates the nerve..

Aware....

anyway, it's a cheapo keyboard that has a backlit LCD which displays notation (sheet music) and fingering teaching a beginner how to read/play....almost as if he's playing a game.

that's his xmas present from me.

on the presents Mr.kenchan.

thanks, mr.alcheng.

sounds good on the swaybar.

with adjustable endlinks one can use intermediate settings so the stillen should be very dial-in-able.

yah, i think micro kenchan will like that keyboard.

it's good that he's not changing his observation.

mr.alcheng- sorry to hear about the hibernation...it's just a fact of life where im at too unless i want to drive with snow tires.

i know it's do-able but i just can't stand washing that caked on salt crap on my car finding corrosion and stains in the spring time.

Ya I am in Cambridge for now, but moving to Woodstock area next Friday

No Z for me due to work I put my car away 2 weeks earlier then normal on Oct 15th. I had no time to drive it and it was just sitting there so I put it into storage and prepped for the sale of the house when I had time. I normally wait until the end of October and have my insurance just do the switch on november 1st to make everything easy and transition smooth. Then come spring I have it setup to go back on the road May 1st but depending on road conditions and weather I call in a week or two early and put the Z back on the road

Enjoy the weather we have for today and tomo it is supposed to be nice

Are they trying to say you had paint correction done to it? Like wet sanding or something? Or are they saying the correction was done at the factory? If they are saying you did it the obviously --> deny deny deny, say you only wash the car no corrections done to it and only noticed it on XX/XX/XX date and give them your story..... hope all goes well for you

No, the tech seems to be on my side but he also says it looks like color correction of some sort was done. I don't know what's going to happen until I hear back from the local corporate man.

WHO DO I HAVE TO FLASH AROUND HERE TO GET A NEW HOOD?!

I lived most of my life in Woodstock. It's a totally different place now that Toyota is building cars there.

Will we still see you on Z-meet next season???

with wanting to keep this Z for a long while to

As for Woodstock yes it is farther away but I will still be coming out it's only like another 20 mins of highway driving and I live about the same distance from the highway as before so it won't add to much time to my drives down for meets

Hopefully the case will stand on Pint's side...

I didn't know that she had bought it used, and yes that may make the fight a little more difficult then I had first expected.

right on still looked like a nice little town though, it's about the same size as Toyota and hey what do you both cities make Toyotas! Which is good because I am an electrical contractor and do a lot of work inside the Toyota plants.

no point worrying...make sure to keep a log of all these conversations/meetings/details...dates. People you spoke to etc. it is important to have that to support your claim
