Boy, have I been away from this forum. Turbo cars, new exhausts... and I'm sitting here in my SUV in the snow in Manhattan, KS. I really wish this snow would turn to 60 degree weather so I can take my Z for a spin again. With how much work I'm doing through summer I think I might change out Res TP for straight TP. Then get a tune and coilovers (maybe?). I'm wanting to do more performance mods but there's not much to do without spending some money... Maybe exterior mods? suggestions anyone? Evo-R fog light or something?

I have let my AWD car sit in garage during the snow due to the street tires. It does not do well in the snow. Tires are like slicks on ice.

If you are on a budget, go springs instead of coils. Don't do a tune until you have all your performance mods installed.

A little bit of tint and platidip go a long way.

The thing is I'm not sure how much more rasp I will have if I change from Res TP to straight TP. I have I believe 18" Resonators on my APEX'i and Res TP at the moment. It sounds nice but I kind of want it a tad bit louder when stepping on it. Not sure if changing from Res TP to straight TP will do anything. Also I forgot I could also get a Y-pipe but don't think that changes the tone of the exhaust much... Does it?

Always nice when the weather is super cold to check for exhaust leaks on first start up . Man this thing is music to my ears....now the wait to get to actually drive it for the first time.

Attention all Heart of America Z Car Club members and friends. Mark Sunday, February 2nd on your calendar for our annual Zuper Bowl Party. This year we have a new location...Brewbakers at 9482 Renner Road in Lenexa. This is just west of I-435 and just north of 95th. This is a great spot with great food and drinks.

Again, your HAZCC will be providing some appetizers and you'll be running your own tab. More details will be following so far now, mark your calendar!! This is open to all past. present, and future HAZCC members!

BTW, there will NOT be a meeting preceding this so this be a "No Work. All Play" Event!

The game starts at 5:30 Central Time so begin arriving around 5-ish.
