Tracie

wasn't the cruise YOUR idea?

Just got the call that my tires are ready. After the cruise this morning, I'll go get them mounted and then head over to NTB for an alignment. My quandary is this: I have incredibly bald tires (down to the wear bars) and was planning on taking the cruise easy just to be on the safe side - now that I know my tires are ready, should I push it and roast the $hit out of them on the curves?

No, I'm gonna be tight on time as it is now that I have to squeeze in tire mounting at Discount and an alignment at NTB. Plus I want to run that other road with brand new tires

have fun with it but carefully-it would suck big time if the tires allowed you to slide off the road...no Z no need for new tires

push it bro -hella fun - but keep it on the road!!!

And therein lies the problem. Plus there's absolutely zero shoulder on this road, and in a lot of places its either 6-12" steep sloped drop off or tree-line. Not much room for mistakes, so I'll probably just push a little. Plus Ms. Pint doesn't push her car on the curves and I just found out it's only gonna be me and her cruising after our third Z just bailed

Whatever, it's still

Griots Waterless Wash is awesome on glass.

Ok, just checked with a thin layer of Vaseline and a clean sheet of paper and I've determined that the Z1 struts do touch a teensy bit. I'm not really gonna worry about it because, from what I can see, it's really really minimal. I don't see any marks on the plastic. Zman8, how long before you started to see marks? You just bought those, right?

Installed them 2 days ago. No driving done. The marks appeared on a raised plastic section just behind where the foam looking material is. I can see the hood struts have started indenting this piece. Tonight im going to see if I can get creative and stick a video camera inside the engine bay to film this
