yah, i'd have to see the real car, but it does not look good at all... the front facia is similar to the Q50 (sedan) so that's okay, but the side and rear is :barf:

You can fit in very quickly...

Thanks buddies..

:yum: to serve with white rice... :yum:

Spicy Spicy...!! :yum:

Mapo Tofu -- 麻婆豆腐

It's a very popular Sichuan Province(四川) style dish. Most of the Sichuan dishes are spicy, if you wanna try, I will suggest another Sichuan dish which is also very popular:

Kung Pao chicken or Gong Bao chicken (宫保雞丁). It's a bit more dry than the Mapo Tofu, we also serve it with rice, (well, rice in Chinese cuisine is like pasta in Italian so it's almost a must to have white rice :icon17:)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...o-shanghai.jpg

If you are curious about is it a Mandarin dish or Cantonese dish.... mmm.... consider it as Sichuan dish :tup:

Different provinces from China has their own style of cuisine, it's difficult to categorize them just into two but you will look smarter if you can tell people what specific Chinese cuisine is it :tup: :tup:

You know, we Z people drive smart, post smart, talk smart and eat smart..!!! :yum::tup:

:woot:

Had me some Kung Pao chicken tonight! :yum: Sooo good! :tup:

That will have to be the first thing I address when my car is resurrected on Easter.
So what's best? Pull the fuse? Get a module? Cut the black... no, I mean the red... no, the orange wire?

There is no best. I listed your options and costs a page or two earlier. I went with the plug and play harness, Alcheng tried to pulling the fuse, Mr.Kenchan bought a new SLU...

I honestly think the fuse the best solution hands down (with the harness being virtually equal except that it costs $$). Thanks to Mr. Alcheng, we know that the fuse isn't there in later model Z without a SLU. This tells me there was nothing else on that circuit, and you are perfectly safe removing the fuse without affecting anything else :twocents:

What banking hosts this for you (or are you using some other online bill pay methodology)? Our credit union hosts one that I thought was perfect.

Our credit union has an incredible bill pay system (it's a small fee or minimum balance in checking). Each bill is automatic once you set it up to be. If you have a dispute, you just bring it to their attention and they'll deposit the disputed amount back into your account (whether it is the entire bill or just a portion) and then go to bat for you with whatever company. It is awesome!!

I've never swapped mine. I have no problems driving the Z smooth - it is not difficult in traffic (especially with SRM on). My buddy's cobra had a linear clutch that would give your left leg an incredible workout in traffic. Is there a significant reason to swap springs?

Absolutely, but the other point is that if that happens you blame the driver, not the short throw shifter :tup:

if one's just shifting normally (just to enjoy the shorter throw) it makes no difference in the wear. :)
for me, i just buy a shorter weighted knob to shorten the stroke. not the same as a real short throw, but it's still shorter throw. :icon17:

I like a short throw in general... I already drive the Z pretty hard for a DD. The STS won't change when or how hard, but it will make it more enjoyable when I do push her :tup:

hey mr.jar! :hello:

hey mr.alcheng- mapo tofu, huh? not mabo tofu. now that i think about it, the lady at the chinese restaurant was saying mapo tofu instead of mabo. :tup: i guess in j-land we pronunce it more 'mabo' than 'mapo.' or just in my household not sure. :icon17:

Holy epic quote post!

The award for best recap post ever goes to Jar. :tup: :rock:

ok, so i called out again 'hummmm.... my coffee still not here..." :icon17: :p
